PROBLEM: I HAVE A HARDSHIP

Problem: “I have a hardship that’s causing me to fall behind.”   

Divorce. Alimony. Child support. Lay-offs. Disability. Care of elderly parents or family members. All of these equate to one thing when it comes to qualifying for a debt settlement program: hardship. Many people overwhelmed by debt don’t understand that they may be able to find debt relief through a hardship program. Any kind of the aforementioned hardships can have a significant impact on an individual's ability to pay their debts.

A hardship can take many forms, from job layoffs, to simply not being able to afford the daily needs of a family. In a recent study by the Urban Institute, it was found that 40% of Americans are struggling to pay for basic needs such as food, rent, utilities, or healthcare.

According to that same study, the most common issues amongst respondents was the inability to afford food (23.3%), being able to pay medical bills (18%) or medical care (17.8%), missing bill payments (13%), and not being able to make rent or mortgage payments (10.2%).

How We Solve it

Every day we work with clients who are experiencing legitimate hardships that directly impact their ability to manage their debts. By identifying all of the factors in someone’s life that have contributed to their inability to handle their debts we can often uncover justifiable hardships that can be helpful for our clients in qualifying for a customized debt settlement program.

If you’re experiencing a legitimate financial hardship and are unable to keep up with debt payments on eligible unsecured debts, you may qualify for a hardship-based debt settlement program.

In this program, you contract directly with our affiliate law firm and are assisted by the law firm to substantially lower your overall unsecured debt amount. Additionally, our hardship program is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), ensuring strict compliance within the guidelines of these programs, and safeguarding consumer protections.
