Credit Card Settlement vs. Bankruptcy

Often we discuss both options for credit card settlement and bankruptcy during your free consultation. There are circumstances where debt consolidation or debt settlement is a better solution than filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Debt Settlement

Debt settlement, meaning, getting debt relief by negotiating with a creditor to pay less than what you owe, is a great solution when you have only one or two delinquent accounts. You may get one or two creditors to accept a credit card settlement offer. But when there are several accounts, it is difficult to get all creditors to settle, and while you may pay some, others would be free to sue you. Also, keep in mind that forgiven debt is taxable as income to you.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy forces all creditors to the table, in that the automatic stay prevents any collection efforts, such as phone calls, letters, and lawsuits, as well as wage garnishments and levies on bank accounts. Most unsecured debt, like credit card debt and medical debt, is “discharged” or wiped out.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy, again, forces all creditors to the table and stops creditor abuse with the automatic stay. This is for people with steady income who can afford to pay a small portion of their debt over a three or five year plan. Chapter 13 is powerful: you can “strip off” a second mortgage and have it discharged as unsecured, you can “cram down” a car loan to the car’s current market value, and you can force a lender to accept repayment of loan arrears, like car loan arrears, mortgage arrears, alimony arrears, or child support arrears, over the course of three or five years.
