Debt Advice Handbook Recommended Reading
Having a copy of the Debt Advice Handbook is recommended reading. This book will give you a good insight as to what the creditors can and can’t do. Not only that, it will also give you fair warning of what to expect the creditor to do next. Remember, if you have any assets, including any equity in your home, then a full and final settlement may not be the right solution for you. However, if you have no assets, then maybe a full and final settlement is a good solution for getting rid of your debt at a much cheaper rate?? The Debt Advice Handbook can be found here: .
Always seek as much advice as possible before embarking on any debt solution. Remember debt solution companies will smile and tell you that their solution will be right for you. Some make money from your situation, so of course they will be smiling.
Will a Full and Final Settlement Affect My Credit Rating?
Yes, a reduced full and final settlement may have a negative impact on your credit score. A full and final settlement is an agreement between you and your creditor to settle your debts for less than the full amount owed. While this may help you to clear your debts quickly, it can have consequences for your credit score.
When you settle a debt for less than the full amount owed, it will be marked as a “partial settlement” on your credit report. This can be seen by future lenders and may make it more difficult for you to obtain credit in the future. It can also signal to lenders that you may have had trouble paying back your debts in the past.
However, it’s worth noting that the impact on your credit score will depend on your individual circumstances and the specific terms of the settlement agreement. If you are struggling with debt, it’s important to seek advice from a professional debt advisor before making any decisions about settling your debts. They can help you understand the potential consequences of a full and final settlement and provide guidance on the best course of action for your situation.
