What To Do About High Credit Card Debt In California

What to do about hight credit card debt in California

If you are wondering what to do about high credit card debt in California — debt settlement, bankruptcy and debt consolidation are three viable options. In a bankruptcy, you do clear out your debts with a fresh financial start, however your credit score will suffer for 6–10 years (making it hard to purchase a house or car) and you could lose certain assets (depending on what kind of bankruptcy you file). In a debt consolidation, sometimes you can get your interest rates lowered, but you still owe the same amount of the initial debt. I usually recommend a debt settlement to get out of high credit card debt.

How do you pay off high credit card debt in California if you simply don’t have the means to do so? A debt settlement is a viable option to get out of high credit card debt if you have more debt than you can pay off in a few years period of time or if you have experienced a financial hardship that caused you to fall behind on payments. A debt settlement is a negotiation between the credit card borrower and the creditor that the borrower will pay back an often greatly reduced amount of the debt over a period of time or in a lump sum. The creditors would rather negotiate a debt settlement with you than pay for a team of attorneys to sue you for the debt or to have you declare bankruptcy and receive nothing.

Here are some real examples of clients who decided on debt settlement as their high credit card debt solution:
