Debt Relief Options - How The FTC Has Made Debt Settlement More Affordable For Borrowers
This option is the most affordable debt relief options because of the new FTC laws made to make this industry more feasible.
According to the new FTC law; a debtor only pays for the settlement services when he has received up to the mark bargaining services from the company he has hired.
If the services are below the mark then he is allowed to not pay at all.
Due to this law the consumers of this industry have gained great benefits.
Firstly the consumers are facing and conducting very limited amount of research while hiring a settlement firm.
Previously the consumers had to search for legal as well as the best firms in the industry.
This was because many illegal firms were operating in the industry and the consumers were suffering losses by hiring such firms.
The search for legal firms has become easier because many illegal firms have exited the market because this market was no more lucrative for their illegal activities and they were suffering losses.
Due to this the legal firms are easy to locate and now the consumers only spend time on locating the best service provider.
Another benefit to the consumers of this industry is that they are getting the efficient and effective services if compared to the services provided prior to this rule.
This is because the firms are now aware that they get paid only if they provide quality services and fast relief.
Prior to this rule a lot of cases were being solved after a long time period and the settlement industry was not using its full power to solve a case.
These are the advantages of not paying upfront fees.
Another benefit of this rule the industry is that those consumers who were willing but did not have the ability to use this technique have even become eligible to use this technique.
This is because they no longer have to pay upfront and they pay after they have acquired the services.
The benefits of this technique are not limited to those using this option; this option even benefits those who allow their borrowers to practice this option.
This is because the government has made a promise to subsidize the creditors with the loss of amount of money faced by a lender who allows his consumer to use this option.
The industry poses more advantages than disadvantages and this is why it is flourishing day by day.
