Ft. Lauderdale Debt Settlement Attorney

Settling Your Debt through Negotiation with Lenders

If you are in debt you probably have paid attention to the ads promoting programs that sound as if the government has just authorized banks to reduce and settle a consumer's debt, or companies that promise to help you get your debt under control - at a cost to you. Recent state laws have been enacted to protect consumers from scams, but many of these companies have made big business in the Ft. Lauderdale area, preying on those who need real help. In fact, if you want to settle your debt at a lower amount, you should get legal assistance from a trusted Fort Lauderdale bankruptcy attorney from our firm.

It is not a simple procedure to settle debts, and does require the ability to negotiate with a lender or debt collector successfully. As we are very familiar with debt collection agencies, how they operate and what they will accept in a settlement, we feel we can be of great service to you in this important issue. A Fort Lauderdale bankruptcy lawyer from our firm should evaluate your personal financial situation immediately to determine how to get you back on track. We have a variety of options that could be very helpful to you if you are struggling with too much debt.

How does debt settlement work?

In debt settlement one negotiates with a creditor to accept a lower amount to pay off a loan. If you are being hounded by creditors, such as credit card companies, collection agencies or even mortgage lenders, we can help. Many collection agencies are much more willing to become reasonable when an attorney is involved. Many settlements are done either in a lump sum or over a three month period, and in some cases, the debt is cancelled altogether, particularly when we discover that our client has been a victim of creditor abuse or harassment.

This requires a very competent financial assessment and a deep understanding of consumer law and all the options for people who are facing overwhelming debt. Christian and Lisa McCue of The McCue Law Firm have achieved great successes for their clients in settling large debts fairly, and usually at a much, much lower final amount than an individual could hope to arrange on their own. They also know that it is not a suitable route for everyone and so are diligent in counseling their clients onto the best possible route for resolving their debt issues.
