Settle for less than you owe.

Debt settlement is a proven strategy where a debt relief provider negotiates with your creditors to reduce your balances. You make one affordable monthly deposit while the provider works in the background. Better Debt Solutions does not negotiate settlements directly. We connect you with a vetted settlement provider that fits your situation.

The basics

What is debt settlement?

Debt settlement is a proven financial strategy where a debt relief company negotiates with your creditors to reduce the total amount you owe. Instead of paying your balances in full, you may settle them for less. Programs vary across providers, but most share the same structure: you stop paying enrolled creditors directly, build savings in a dedicated account, and the provider negotiates settlements as funds accumulate.

Typical settlement
40 to 60 percent of enrolled debt before fees, on average, for consumers who successfully complete a program.
Typical timeline
24 to 48 months, depending on enrolled balance and monthly deposit.
First settlement
Most clients see their first settlement within 4 to 7 months of enrollment.
Performance-based fees
The provider you are matched with typically charges 14 to 27 percent of enrolled debt, only after a settlement is reached.
Why consider settlement

A real alternative to bankruptcy.

01

Reduce balances

A negotiated settlement lowers the total amount you owe, sometimes significantly.
02

One monthly deposit

Instead of juggling many minimum payments, you make a single affordable deposit into a dedicated account.
03

Provider handles creditors

Once enrolled, your provider handles creditor communication on your behalf.
04

No upfront fees

Settlement fees are performance-based and disclosed by the provider in writing before you enroll.

Frequently asked

Questions worth asking.

If you don't see your question, call us, we'll answer it plainly.

Debt settlement reduces the actual balance you owe through creditor negotiation. Debt consolidation combines multiple debts into one new loan with a single payment, but does not reduce the underlying balance.
