Debt negotiation can be a good bankruptcy alternative. Your credit report is still negatively affected by debt negotiation, but there are times when the situation can be better than with bankruptcy. However, debt negotiation is only beneficial, if done right. Unfortunately, there are debt negotiation companies out there who are really scam artists. The regulation is non existent, some of the companies are out of state or even out of the country. That is why having an experienced bankruptcy attorney representing you is a safer and better option.

Debt Negotiation vs. Bankruptcy
While filing for bankruptcy can be very beneficial, we always discuss bankruptcy alternatives with our clients. This is because we want the best possible option for you. Whether this includes bankruptcy is entirely dependant upon your specific circumstance. However, when it comes to debt negotiation, an alternative to bankruptcy, we stress the importance of understanding the risks of some debt negotiation companies. While there are good and ethical debt negotiation companies out there, there are some who are scam artists. When you hire a debt negotiation company, you send payments through the debt negotiation company instead of directly to the creditor. This can be risky because it may become difficult to see exactly where your money is going. Not to mention the possibility of extra fees and penalties.
Having an experienced legal professional handle debt negotiation for you is a safe and secure option. In addition, only an attorney can advise you of the law and whether to file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy if you decide to go with one of these options. Instead of getting financial assistance from more than one source, do it in one stop with an knowledgeable, licensed and skilled attorney.
