What is a debt settlement?

Debt Settlement

Debt settlement can be an alternative to filing bankruptcy for certain invidividuals or businesses. In essence, consolidating or settlement of debts means that creditors agree to take a lesser amount than what is actually owed in order to aid the debtor in repayment of the debts. This type of action can oftentimes prevent someone from having to file bankruptcy.
