You decide: Loan Modification or Debt Consolidation?

At the moment, the most common forms of debt management seem to be debt consolidation and loan modification. While these two methods greatly differ, the success of both these methods relies on how well your negotiator knows his way around the industry.

For individuals with a stable source of income but, under unforeseen circumstances, have missed  several payments or have become unable to accomplish their monthly dues because of increasing interest rates, loan modification may be a viable solution. Firms offering this service will get in touch with your creditor directly to negotiate a revision to your loan’s terms, often in the form of reduced or fixed interest rates.

Debt consolidation, on the other hand, may be more useful to individuals who have a number of debts with different creditors. It is essentially a repayment plan that may keep people from yielding to bankruptcy as a last resort. Clients choose which debts go into the program before the firm negotiates with the creditors for reduced rates or “forgiveness” of the late fees. A lump sum monthly will then be paid to the firm for distribution to the creditors.
