Debt Settlement Protection Act - How A Consumer Can Legally Terminate Unsecured Debt Easily

103 173
Let's have an introduction of the debt settlement protection act.
If you observe the previous records of the debt settlement processes, you will see that many people have been deceived by many settlement companies in different ways.
There was a general practice to ask fee for services in advance.
Many non professional companies used to take money and then prolong the process because they did not have experts who could make good negotiation for reduction.
This practice was damaging the trust of consumer over debt settlement companies and once again bankruptcy ratio increased in the country.
Although bankruptcy is a legal process for consumers to get rid of massive debts but it is not in the favor of anyone.
From creditor's point of view, it is a total loss and it also affects the economy of a country.
There is legal way by which consumers can legally terminate unsecured debts easily but due to fraudulent activities of some non professional companies, people hesitate to avail this option.
Now with the help of debt settlement protection act some changes have been made for companies to ease consumers.
Due to new debt settlement protection act, a debt relief company is not eligible to charge upfront fee from its consumers.
This law has been enforced on the companies and now until the consumer is not satisfied, he may not take upfront fee.
A consumer simply has to apply for getting reduction in outstanding amount through a settlement firm without paying it a single penny.
The company starts the process and completes it as soon as possible to get paid for the services.
Once the negotiation process is over and all the documents made are in the favor of consumer, the company demands for the decided fees.
Debt settlement protection act was made by keeping consumer's satisfaction on priority.
Consumers are the basic need of economy of a country and that is why the government and financial institutions always provide relief from anything.
Since the new law has been imposed, the bankruptcy ratio is been decreased and people are opting for debt relief programs to terminate their unsecured loans easily.
