Compared to debt consolidation, debt settlement might seem more beneficial to you. In case of debt settlement you are actually negotiating with the creditors to give up a part of the money that they had lent to you and write it off as bad debt.
Although
this might seem like a dream come true to a lot of us, but it has potential
disadvantages associated with it:
1. It will show in your credit report for the next 7 years and beside the debt
it would be listed that you "negotiated and settled" the debt.
2. Although this is a better option than having an outstanding debt amount
in your credit report, in a way it is derogative. It will still send a signal
to any future creditor that you have not paid back the total principal amount
in the past.
So
when should you go for debt consolidation and when should you go for
debt settlement:
1. Consumers having outstanding balance with more than one creditor can potentially
benefit from debt consolidation.
2. If you feel your debts are too high and there is no way you can ever repay
those debts and will end up going in bankruptcy, in such cases debt settlement
is the right choice for you.
