Debt Help - The Right and the Wrong Type of Help - How to Choose the Right One

March 8, 2010 - PRLog -- When you are struggling to pay off a mountain of debt, are being hounded at every waking moment by creditors who refuse to heed your pleas for clemency and are on the brink of financial ruin it is extremely tempting to simply pull the plug on it all and consign yourself to the route of bankruptcy. However, it should be noted that bankruptcy is far from an ideal solution and as such should only ever be used and relied upon in extreme circumstances and where more conservative methods of debt relief used for tackling the debt problem from spiraling out of control have failed.

Make sure that before you commit yourself to any particular remedy (irrespective of what that remedy should be) that you actually speak with a professional who have relevant experience such as an insolvency lawyer or debt relief consultant in order to work out a better solution as to your problem. Bankruptcy will mean that all of your unsecured debts are extinguished with no further obligation upon your good self to pay them, but such a "generous" solution comes with a VERY steep price tag. For the next seven years of your life you will be legally required to then inform potential employers that you have been declared bankrupt as well as financial institutions.

Bankruptcy maybe a good idea where you have a significant portion of your gross monthly earnings being made subject to a garnishment order, because the amount of money that is left over for you after the relevant deductions have been made may simply not be enough to support either yourself and or your family.

Debt settlement is a process whereby the creditor and debtor will negotiate in order for part of the debt to be extinguished in exchange for the speedy and prompt payment of the remainder. This debt relief option is best suited to those debtors who actually have some amount of capital at their disposal and where they can actually comfortably afford to part with it.

There has really never been a more advantageous time for consumers to try and eliminate unsecured debt. Creditors are very concerned about collecting and most have government money to make eliminating some of your debt financially feasible.
