Consolidation Programs benefit consumers with an average unsecured
debt of $5,000. Unsecured debts include credit card debt, medical
bills, service charges, personal loans, signature loans, store
credit or charge accounts, gas charge accounts and certain
installment loans. They reduce overall monthly debt, save on
interest fees, help you to establish a monthly household budget,
improve your credit rating by paying creditors in a timely fashion
and end collection calls to your house.

Your
"fixed monthly consolidated payment" is calculated according to
the lowest payment amount accepted by your creditors. The agency
you have hired will distribute the amount of your "fixed monthly
consolidated payment" to each creditor. Most creditors will only
reduce or stop your interest fees if their minimum payment is met,
but if so, the interest rate reduction with these programs can
range from no change to the freezing of interest depending on the
creditors policy. This can save you thousands because rates that
are usually 12%-24% can get reduced to 10%, 8%, 6% or 0%.

American Debt Foundation

American Debt
Foundation, Inc.
Debt settlement is a form of debt relief that can assist you in
overcoming the burden of overwhelming debt in less time and for less
money than other debt relief options.
On average, consumers who complete the American Debt Foundation's debt
settlement program do so in 3 to 5 years and generally pay less than
half of the balance owed.* That amount typically includes any interest
charges, late fees, and the debt settlement company's fees.
American Debt Foundation's debt settlement program is an alternative to
bankruptcy, which exists to assist consumers with significant debt due
to personal or medical hardships.
Too often, consumers join consumer credit counseling services in an
attempt to repay their debt, but soon find that it may have not been
their best debt relief option. Some estimates show over 75% of people
who turn to consumer credit counseling services either quit or are
dropped from the program. As a result, many clients end up filing for
bankruptcy. Debt settlement is an alternative solution for people who
legitimately cannot afford to repay their debts and are looking for an
honest way out of a debt-burdened life.
Debt settlement serves an important role in the debt relief industry
because it is not like consumer credit counseling, debt consolidation
and other debt relief options that coach you through repaying your
entire debt, even if you cannot afford to do so. Instead, debt
settlement involves negotiating with your creditors to settle your debt
for a reduced amount. This is why debt settlement is a growing debt
relief solution.
Many credit card companies have debt negotiation and settlement
departments for the specific purpose of negotiating with debt settlement
companies like American Debt Foundation. While they prefer that you
repay the entire amount you owe, creditors understand that lending
credit is a risk, and sometimes consumers experience legitimate
financial hardships that prevent them from repaying the full debt.
It is important to us that you understand the debt settlement process
or any other debt relief option you choose before committing to a
program. The following pages explain how and why the debt settlement
process works. Keep in mind that not all debt settlement companies are
alike and others may not have the same process and steps described here.
What is debt settlement?
Debt settlement is when you repay your creditors less than you owe to
satisfy your debt. People with overwhelming debt can enroll with a debt
settlement company who will negotiate with their creditors to settle
their debts for a fraction of what they owe.
In a debt settlement program, you deposit money into a savings account
each month, instead of paying your creditors. Once enough money builds
up, the company negotiates with your creditors to accept a lump sum
payment. If the creditor accepts, this agreement settles the account.
Your debt is considered paid and you can begin saving for the next
settlement offer.
What settlement results do your clients typically see?
On average, we settle our clients' debts for about 30-50% of the entire
amount owed.
How long will it take me to get out of debt?
Our program graduates are typically out of debt in 12 to 36 months.
Can American Debt Foundation help with harassing collection calls?
No company can completely stop debt collector calls. However, we ask
your creditors to contact us directly about your accounts. We also offer
specific advice for dealing with unwanted collector calls that come to
your home.
Does American Debt Foundation offer any guarantees?
American Debt Foundation is one of the few companies in this industry
to offer a 30 day money back guarantee.
How much is American Debt Foundation's debt settlement program going to
cost me?
Our professional debt consultants will work with you to create a
customized payment plan according to your financial situation. Our fees
are a percentage of the total amount you owe.
Why would my creditors accept less than the full amount I owe?
Your creditors prefer to collect the full amount you owe; however, they
know that if you file bankruptcy, they may receive no payment at all.
Creditors are usually open to debt settlement once they recognize that
you are facing significant financial hardships and are trying to avoid
bankruptcy. Your creditors would rather accept a lump sum payment of 50%
of your debt than risk getting nothing at all.
Can I be sued by my creditors while enrolled in your program?
We do everything in our power to negotiate a mutually agreeable
settlement, but there is the possibility a creditor can take legal
action to get you to pay. This usually happens when creditors think they
can recover the full amount you owe through the courts. We are not a law
firm and we recommend you speak with a licensed attorney in your state
for more information.
How will debt settlement affect
my
credit?
Debt settlement can have a negative impact on your credit.
However, debt settlement can also get you out of debt faster than many
other debt relief options so you can begin rebuilding your credit
sooner. If you are already behind on payments, or you might be shortly,
your credit is already impaired - you have too much debt compared to
your income. This is known as a high debt-to-income ratio. To be
considered credit-worthy again, you must drastically reduce or eliminate
your debt, thereby reducing your debt-to-income ratio.
Remember, you can always rebuild your credit and it's much easier to
rebuild your credit without the burden of overwhelming debt or a
bankruptcy mark on your
credit
report.
Once I've enrolled in American Debt Foundation's debt settlement
program, who maintains control of my finances?
You maintain control of your finances. Instead of paying us or your
creditors, you deposit money into a third-party savings account every
month. When enough money accrues and your creditors are ready to settle,
the money from that account goes toward your settlement. Because you
ultimately maintain control of your finances, your commitment is
essential to the success of your program.
What if I need to cancel the program?
You can cancel the program and withdrawal the money in your set-aside
account at any time. We do not have a long term commitment, so you are
under no contractual obligation to stay if you decide the program is not
right for you. You will not be charged any penalty fees, closing fees or
any other hidden charges.
Does everyone qualify for American Debt Foundation's debt settlement
program?
Not everyone qualifies for debt settlement. Debt settlement is an
alternative to bankruptcy for people with overwhelming debt who have
endured personal or financial hardships that prevent them from repaying
their creditors.
What types of debt does American Debt Foundation settle?
There are generally two types of debt: unsecured and secured. Secured
debt is backed by collateral such as a house or a car. American Debt
Foundation cannot settle secured debts because creditors can simply
repossess the assets if you fall behind in payments. Unsecured debt is
not backed, or secured, by collateral and therefore it can be
negotiated. Unsecured debts include credit card debt, medical bills,
repossessions, etc.
