Debt consolidation is the process of combining multiple debts into a single loan.
According to Debt.org, “Debt consolidation reduces the interest rate on your debt, lowers monthly payments and simplifies bill paying. Instead of keeping up with multiple bills and multiple deadlines from multiple card companies, you make one payment to one source, once a month.” This can make it easier to manage monthly payments by replacing multiple due dates with just one. It’s a popular choice for people with various debts.

Initial Assessment
The first step in the debt consolidation process is an initial assessment. This helps consolidation lawyers determine if debt consolidation is viable for you. To make this decision, they evaluate your financial situation, including income, debt, and expenses.
Development of a Customized Debt Consolidation Plan
Once an experienced attorney determines that debt consolidation is suitable, they develop a personalized plan. Strategies may include:
Negotiation with Creditors
Lawyers have the capacity to negotiate with your creditors on your behalf. This may involve reducing interest rates, eliminating penalties, and setting up a manageable payment plan.
Implementation and Monitoring of the Plan
After creating a plan, attorneys can help implement it. This includes ensuring timely payments and regular monitoring. They aim to keep you on track and make adjustments as necessary.
Stiberman Law, P.A. can provide guidance and support throughout every stage of the debt consolidation process, helping you achieve financial stability.

Common debts include credit cards, medical bills, payday loans, and unsecured personal loans. A single loan to pay off these different debts can simplify your financial situation.
Will Debt Consolidation Affect My Credit Score?
Debt consolidation can have different effects on your credit score. According to Debt.org, “At the start, most debt consolidation methods have a negative effect on your credit score.” So, your score might dip slightly in the short term due to new credit inquiries. Over time, if you make timely payments on your consolidation loan, your credit score can improve.
According to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, “debt settlement is built around the idea that creditors will be happy to accept less than the total amount due if you do not make your payments. So, you avoid paying your debts directly, and you make payments to the settlement firm.”
In other words, debt settlement involves negotiating with creditors to pay a lump sum that is less than the total amount owed. This can be a viable option when you’re unable to pay your debts in full. However, it’s important to note that settlements can stay on your credit score for up to seven years, as noted by In Charge.org.
Our lawyers can negotiate on your behalf, potentially reducing the debt significantly.
Additionally, debt settlement differs from debt consolidation, which combines multiple debts into one loan. Debt settlement may be more appropriate if you cannot manage the monthly payments of a consolidation loan.
If you are behind on your mortgage payments, the bank may be considering beginning foreclosure proceedings. However, before this occurs, we can explore a short sale. This allows you to sell your home for less than the amount you owe on the mortgage to avoid foreclosure and get out from under high payments.
When the buyer gets an offer, the mortgage lender is required to approve the offer before the sale of the house can go through, but once complete, they will forgive the remaining balance.
When the debt comes from medical bills, credit card bills, or even private student loans, a debt negotiation lawyer can step in on your behalf. Often, they can negotiate lower payments or a lump sum settlement that is less than what you owe, allowing you to get out from under high payments and hefty interest rates.
In other cases, they can consolidate your debts into one monthly payment to satisfy all your creditors. This option comes with the following benefits:
Bankruptcy is another option, often considered a last resort. There are two main types:
We can help determine if bankruptcy is a better solution than debt consolidation. For example, filing for bankruptcy might be the most appropriate action if you’re overwhelmed by debt and have no feasible way to repay it.
