The benefits of debt negotiation

Debt is a significant issue for many Australians. Finding effective ways to manage and reduce your debt is crucial if you want to take control of your finances and secure a stable financial future. It’s important to explore what strategies are available to relieve your current financial pressure and improve your long-term financial health. 

Debt negotiation offers a strategic approach to tackle debt head-on, providing many benefits that can lead to a brighter financial future.

What is debt negotiation? 

Through debt negotiation, Fix My Credit works with creditors to reduce the amount of debt you owe. The process generally involves negotiating a lump sum payment for less than is owed, settling the debt for a reduced amount. While debt negotiation can be done independently, it’s typically much more effective with the help of professional credit services like Fix My Credit.

The top 5 benefits of debt negotiation

There are many benefits of debt negotiation, including: 

Reduced debt

The biggest advantage of debt negotiation is reduced debt. Our aim when negotiating with creditors is to settle your debt for a fraction of the original amount. This helps to provide immediate financial relief and help you get back on your feet. 

Lower repayments

If not reducing your total debt, our debt negotiation services can help reduce your debt repayments. If we can reach a settlement agreement with your creditors, we may be able to reduce your repayments so it’s easier for you to better manage your budget.

Avoid bankruptcy

If you’re in serious debt, bankruptcy could be on the horizon. By negotiating your debt with your creditors we may be able to help you avoid bankruptcy and its consequences. This will help you protect your credit score and regain your financial health. 

Financial stability

By successfully negotiating your debt you can improve your financial stability. When you have reduced debt and lower repayments you can start to rebuild your credit and invest in your future. 

Professional guidance

It can be hard to navigate debt negotiation on your own. Professional services like those offered by Fix My Credit can provide extra guidance and support. We can help you understand your options, negotiate with creditors on your behalf and create a plan to manage your finances effectively.

How Fix My Credit negotiates debt

The debt negotiation process with Fix My Credit starts with assessing your financial situation. This involves understanding how much debt you have, who you owe it to and your current financial capabilities. 

Then we’ll reach out to your creditors to discuss your financial difficulties and propose a settlement. Through honest communication, we will try to reduce your debt and/or your repayments. We’ll work with your creditors to negotiate the most favourable terms. 

When we reach an agreement with your creditors we will ensure it is in writing so you’re legally protected and have a clear record of the terms agreed upon. Once we reach a settlement, it’s important that you make all the necessary payments as failing to do so can negate the benefits of debt negotiation and affect your credit score.
