Alternative #1: Modify your home mortgage
Most people who come to us for help with unmanageable debt want to keep their home. Unfortunately, that means they usually have to keep their mortgage in most cases. The good news is that we can work with you and your mortgage provider to modify your mortgage to a manageable amount based on your unique circumstances.
Alternative #2: Pursue debt settlement
Debt settlement is the process of negotiating with your creditors to reduce the amount of debt you owe. This is usually done by a third-party company, but you can also do it yourself. The company or you will stop making payments to your creditors and instead start saving money in a separate account. Once you have saved enough money, you will offer to settle the debt for a lump sum that is less than the amount you owe. The creditor may or may not agree to this offer. Debt settlement can be a risky option, but it can also be a way to save money on your debt.
