Debt Elimination Programs Defined

There are five basic debt elimination programs, and we've defined them below:

Debt Settlement - Got access to a lot of cash, just not enough to pay off all of your debts at once? Then you might be interested in this debt elimination program. Debt settlement allows you to pay off your unsecured debts at 30-60 cents on the dollar. Generally, you have to have the money all at once, but some debt management companies will give you 1-3 years to pay it off.
Debt Consolidation Loan - This debt elimination program is a low-interest loan given to you to pay off your unsecured debts. You pay off your unsecured debts immediately, but you still have the loan to pay back. The benefit is that the interest rate on the loan is so much lower (generally half of what you're paying now) that you can have it paid off in five years or less. However, you do need to have collateral in order to qualify for this type of debt elimination service.
Debt Consolidation Mortgage - A debt elimination program that allows you to borrow from the equity in your house to pay off your unsecured debts. Your payment is combined with your mortgage, and you get the same interest rate as your mortgage. In some cases, the interest is even tax-deductible (check with your tax advisor to see if this will work for your tax situation).
Debt Consolidation - A debt elimination program that doesn't require access to a lot of money, doesn't require collateral and doesn't require you to be a homeowner. Instead, this debt elimination plan involves negotiation to get your unsecured debt balances and interest rates lowered. Then the new, lower balances are combined and you make one monthly payment to the debt consolidation company, which they distribute among your creditors. Because of the reductions, you can become debt free in about five years.
Student Loan Debt Consolidation - This combines all of your outstanding student loans into one and locks in a much lower, fixed interest rate for you. Your monthly student loan payments are cut in half, too, because you are given more time to pay them off. This is one of the most popular debt elimination plans.
