We can help you understand the differences between debt settlement and bankruptcy.  It is important to know these differences so that you can choose the best solution to your problems.  Call our office today at 616.389.0629 to discuss debt settlement and issues such as:

​Bankruptcy versus Debt Settlement

  • Ensure that the debt settlement agreement is put into clear and enforceable written terms;
  • Obtain an agreement that legally releases you from the balance of the unpaid debt amount; and
  • Negotiate how the settlement agreement is reported on your credit report to minimize negative credit implications.

As debt resolution specialists, we can help you determine if debt settlement is right for you.  We will ensure that the matter is resolved efficiently and that you are protected from common problems associated with debt settlement:
