subject: Is It True If You Do A Debt Consolidation It Can Show Up As A Bankruptcy On Your Credit Report? [print this page] Author: Hector Milla Author: Hector Milla
The answer to this extremely important question is absolutely not. This is just one more of the huge number of misconceptions that surround debt consolidation. In fact, it is far more likely that consolidation will be the only thing that keeps you from having to go into bankruptcy. Aurora Lillo Editor of the "Best Debt Consolidation Services" website -- http://www.BestDebtConsolidationServices.net -- pointed out; And that by consolidating, you will keep your credit report sound, so that you look like a good debtor for anybody who is considering lending to you in the future. This rumor about debt consolidation was probably started because of a single thing that consolidation companies are able to do excellently This is that they will bargain with your creditor on your behalf and try to get the creditor to settle for less money than you owe, if you are consolidating because you are having trouble paying your debt. If they succeed in getting a bargain, those debts will show up on your credit report as settled, which creditors see as you being unable to pay them. You would kind of be declaring bankruptcy on those particular debts, but thats the closest that you will get. The consolidation itself will not show up on your credit report as a bankruptcy. Its really just a glorified type of refinancing, as you are taking out another loan to cover your previous debt. Otherwise, beyond this rumor, it is also unlikely that debt consolidation will have any negative effect on your credit score. The settling of the debts, as discussed before, is the only real negative effect on your credit report, but there are quite a few positive effects. For example, you are closing open lines of credit, given a great opportunity to lower your debt to income ratio, and you receive free financial counseling services, which can help you raise your credit score through other means. All of these are positive, meaning that after you go through the entire process, you will probably find that your credit reputation has increased, rather than decreased. I highly recommend that anybody who is having financial trouble investigate debt consolidation as a solution. It doesnt deserve the bad reputation that it has attained added A. Lillo.
