What Is Debt Settlement?

Debt settlement, also known as debt arbitration, debt negotiation or credit settlement, is an approach to debt reduction.
Debt settlement is negotiating with the creditor to only pay a portion of the owed debt. For example, if you owe $20,000 the negotiation process might get the creditor to accept $10,000 and forgive the remainder of the balance. That results in a 50% reduction of the debt you owe.
Most lenders are willing to negotiate, to ensure they will receive a partial amount of the debt, rather than lose it when the debtor files bankruptcy.
For the debtor, debt settlement is a less expensive alternative to bankruptcy and allows the debtor quicker access to loans and other sources of funds than bankruptcy does after the debt has been cleared.
