What is Debt Relief?
Debt relief is simply any solution that allows consumers to lower what is needed to pay off debt. It is also known as debt resolution, debt management, debt settlement, and debt negotiation. Consumers who find themselves with a large amount of debt, are facing financial hardship, and are having difficulties paying off the debt may qualify for debt relief assistance. Debt relief companies can help consumers in a variety of ways such as reducing interest rates and fees, consolidating debt, negotiating lower pay-off balances, and more. Utilizing a debt relief program typically results in a temporary drop in your credit score.

Consolidated Credit Solutions Process
If you are interested in working with Consolidated Credit, this is a high-level view of the process that you can expect:
- Step 1: Credit Counseling. In this step, you will talk with a certified credit counselor who will evaluate your situation, present you with options for paying off your debt, let you know if you qualify for a debt management program, and what your costs will be.
- Step 2: Make an informed decision. Once the credit counselor presents you with the debt management plan available to you through Consolidated Credit versus other types of solutions, it will be up to you to decide which direction you want to go.
- Step 3: Enroll. If you decide that Consolidated Credit’s debt management program is the right program for you, then you can begin the enrollment process.
- Step 4: Consolidated Credit contacts your creditors. For Consolidated Credit to help you, your creditors need to agree to three terms: (1) agree to accept payments from a debt management organization; (2) to reduce or eliminate interest charges; and (3) stop adding penalties and fees to your debt.
- Step 5: Start the program. Once all the creditors agree to the terms, you will be able to start the program. As part of the debt management program, you will make a payment each month, and Consolidated Credit will pay your creditors for you.
