They used their credit card for all their expenditure and when it came for the repayment they used the settlement for it.
The settlement process is quite technical process and to get the high reduction on the outstanding amount one should have knowledge of the system in which creditor operates. FTC understands that lay man will not know all these detail so they have to hire the firms for the same. Federal trade commission is providing help to costumers so that they can hire the firms at low cost or no cost. By this the genuine consumer gets the settlement and the private firms cannot charge what ever they want to. The upper limit on the fees is also fixed by the FTC. In this way your interest are saved. The agency is monitoring the working of relief firms in the market so that citizens should not get in the trap of fraudulent firms.
The relief should reach to the intended user, for this FTC is working hard. The new debt settlement legal guidelines are for the people. You can even get the tax break if you are using settlement instead of the bankruptcy. Any how bankruptcy can never solve the unsecured loan problem.
There are multiple firms in the market whom you can hire for the settlement. FTC is making sure that the firms should be genuine but you need to do your part. Check the relief network for the list of genuine firms and cross check all their claims. Gather as much as possible information about the genuineness of the firm prior to hiring it. You should have at least ten thousand dollars as unsecured loan to get the settlement and with the help of relief firms you can easily get the reduction of 50%.
