How does debt relief affect my credit?2022-03-18T23:42:53-07:00

Will I no longer owe debt when I’m done?2022-03-18T23:41:18-07:00

This depends on your situation. Debt consolidation companies only can help you settle your unsecured debts, such as credit cards, medical bills, collections, and unsecured personal loans, but not with secured loans such as auto loans and mortgages.

Successfully completing our debt consolidation program will free up more money to pay mortgages and auto loans. This means that Rebound From Debt’s plan can help a person who does not have secured loans get rid of their debts in a shorter period while restoring their credit profile. Remember that if you want to be successful in this program, you will have to maintain your monthly savings budget.

How soon will debt settlement clear off my credit report?2022-03-18T23:36:34-07:00

Can my credit card debt be settled if I’m still current?2022-03-18T23:32:39-07:00

While It may be possible to settle credit card debt if you are still current, majority of creditors will typically require nothing less than the full amount owed if your payments are up to date. Whether you are settling your debts yourself or working with a debt settlement company like Rebound From Debt, the most effective way to get creditors to negotiate is to show them that, for financial reasons, you cannot pay back your debts completely. Financial difficulties can occur in many ways. A good way to show this is by letting your payments go into default. Once your creditors understand that you are unable to pay in full, they are more likely to accept a reduced amount as settlement.

We’ve settled hundreds of thousands of accounts. With us, you have the #1 negotiating team working for you, and a dedicated Finance Manager watching over each step, helping you rebound from debt, so you can trust the process!

How will I know if a debt relief company is the right one?2020-03-08T13:59:42-07:00

Whenever you are looking for a debt consolidation company that helps you pay off your debts, there are important questions you need to ask: are they transparent about the types of debt they accept, do they provide a realistic timeline for getting you out of debt and a fair estimate of your potential savings. It is also important to note that debt relief companies are only legally allowed to charge a fee after a debt has been settled.

Should I include all of my credit cards in the program?2020-03-08T14:01:46-07:00

Each case is unique. Many people prefer to keep one or two cards off their debt program to use for emergency funding. However, in general, you should include all cards with a balance greater than $500 in the program, as this will facilitate the negotiation of an agreement by your debt consultant.  If you have one card with a low balance that you can quickly pay down to zero, then you may hold on to it for emergencies.

Who controls the secure FDIC bank account where my funds are held while I wait for my settlements?2022-03-18T23:23:37-07:00

In accordance with the instructions of the AFCC, we will create a bank account insured by FDIC on your behalf, and you have ultimate control over it’s funds. The monies collected in this account get disbursed only at the time a negotiation is reached with the creditor and you agree with the settlement offer. We recommend that you keep your balance in a new account separate from your existing bank accounts, as experience has shown that this separation from your existing bank account (with debts) increases the speed and chances of success of your participation in the program. Rebound From Debt’s consolidation fees will be deducted from this account on a debt-to-debt basis and only after the settlement of any debt, as stated in the agreement you signed with us.

Remember, Rebound and their negotiators are compliant and proud members of the AFCC and the FTC. We offer legal protection for your plan so that you can recover from your debts peacefully!

Will I owe taxes on my forgiven debt?2022-03-18T23:21:17-07:00

According to the IRS, a forgiven debt is a taxable income. This means that at the end of the year, you will be expected to pay taxes on the settlement. However, IRS Form 982, Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness, may exempt you from this tax. Please contact a tax advisor to discuss this issue further.

At Rebound From Debt, we also have an optional tax preparation program for our clients. So, do not worry, we have your back. Just send us the paperwork and we will handle the rest.

Will my account continue to accumulate interests and late fees?2022-03-18T23:20:28-07:00

Part of your agreement with your credit card companies allows them to continue to add interest and late fees to your debt any time you fail to make payments. This means if you let your accounts become delinquent, your creditors will continue to add interest and late fees onto your balances. Keep in mind that interest will accrue as long as you have an outstanding balance, even if you are on a plan. Paying off the balance is the only way of stopping the interest from accruing.

The Rebound From Debt settlement program is intended to arranging resolutions that reduce your debt balances, regardless of the type of interest charges or late fees that were added at the start of our program. Our program will include additional fees and interest that your creditor may charge in your estimate. Even if your creditor charges additional fees and interest, we will not charge extra to settle the debt.

How soon can you start negotiating with my creditors?2022-03-18T23:18:13-07:00

Most of your creditors will only engage in serious conversations with your negotiators about debt settlement if they know you are really committed to paying them off. You can only prove this payment obligation by accumulating enough money in your assigned savings account. In general, the first settlement usually takes place in the first three months of the program, but this varies and depends on your budget, and the number of creditors you have enrolled in the program as well as the balance of each debt owed. Just be patient and remember that you are in great hands.

Rebound clients usually see their first settlement within the first 100 days of the program.

Will my debts be sent to a law firm? Will this result in a lawsuit?2022-03-18T23:15:05-07:00

Creditors may send the debts to collections agencies and/or law firms to collect your debt, although from our experience, this is a very rare occurrence. However, if this happens to you, we partner with a third party law firm that can negotiate your case with the goal of resolving the debt. Rebound From Debt’s legal team, Arnold & Smith Law, offers our clients legal protection through their journey to financial freedom.

Please note that we are not a law firm and cannot provide legal advice or legal representation, but Arnold & Smith Law can, so you can rest assure. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain as you rebound from debt with legal protection.
