Dealing with credit card debt each month can be incredibly stressful. Despite making regular payments, the principal seems to decrease only slightly. Missing a payment or two adds the worry of potential credit score damage and accumulating late fees. Fortunately, there’s a solution. Optimal Debt Solutions is here to assist you in exploring various debt relief options.
Credit Card Debt Relief Choices
While exploring methods to manage your credit card debt, you’ll likely encounter debt settlement and debt consolidation. Debt settlement involves saving money so a negotiator can settle your debt for less than the amount owed. A credit card consolidation loan allows you to pay off credit card debt more quickly with a single monthly payment. Our debt calculator simplifies the process of comparing these options.
Credit Card Debt Consolidation or Settlement
Debt settlement isn’t an instant solution, but you might be surprised at how straightforward the process can be:
- Receive a free consultation regarding your credit card debt.
- Establish a payment plan tailored to your eligible debts.
- Open a savings account to make deposits instead of paying creditors directly.
- Optimal Debt Solutions negotiates to settle your debt and then charges a fee.
- Verify that the debt is marked as resolved on your credit report.
For those interested in a consolidation loan or credit card refinancing, you will need to apply with a lender and explore options based on your income and credit status.
