If you are one of the millions of American urgently seeking
debt relief, then you
have most likely been bombarded with countless debt programs
and plans. There are enough debt options to literally drive a
person crazy. You end up asking yourself the question, “Which
debt solution program should I decide on?” We’re here to
provide unbiased information that is clear and concise and will
help make the right decision. In your search, you have no doubt
come across a commonly known program called debt
elimination. Before you commit to any debt counseling plan
or program, you need to know the answer to the question, “What
is debt elimination?”
What Is Debt Elimination? Essentially,
there are two types of debt elimination, legitimate and
illegitimate. Here’s a brief snapshot of the legitimate plans,
how they work and who qualifies for them:
1). Debt Elimination - Insurance Company
Payouts Various insurance companies offer products
that will effectively pay off loans in the event, for example,
of a loss of employment, death or other significant personal
life changes. It’s a straightforward process; provided that the
person has insurance to cover the loss, the insurance company
will pay off the debt.
2). Debt Elimination - Income
Replacement
There is a specific insurance program designed to pay bills in
the event that the policyholder becomes unable to work as
specified in the agreement. Once the person becomes injured,
incapacitated, etc., their bills are paid by the insurer.
Effectively preventing their debts from piling up.
3). Debt Elimination - The Combat Veterans Debt
Elimination Act of 2008, H.R. 5148 You really don’t
want to qualify for this one… H.R. 5148 amends title 38, United
States Code, to prohibit the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from
collecting certain debts owed to the United States by members
of the Armed Forces and veterans who die as a result of an
injury incurred or aggravated on active duty in a combat
zone.
4). Debt Elimination - Selling Off Assets Program
(SOAP)
One quick way to eliminate debt is to use SOAP. The selling off
of assets in order to pay your debts. Both businesses and
individuals use this easily implemented debt elimination
technique. It only works if one has the assets and is willing
to part with them in order to satisfy their debt(s).
These four legitimate debt elimination programs and products
should never be confused with the illegitimate
debt elimination programs responsible for disappointing
countless debtors. To date, the number of individuals who have
been taken advantage through these unlawful programs is
staggering. The amount of money they have lost is even more
saddening; we are talking in the millions! And these are the
people who could least afford such a loss.
As more and more consumers struggle to meet their mounting
debt obligations and begin exploring the available options to
get out of debt, they are often left confused. The terms
thrown at them seem like they came right out of a college
professor’s study guide, (debt elimination, debt termination,
debt settlement, debt management, etc.)
That’s why it’s important for consumers to first understand
what these programs are, their limitations, pros and cons
before deciding on a course of action. In the next section,
we’ll examine the illegitimate debt elimination programs.
