Debt settlement mechanics

When you begin the process of debt settlement, your Fairbanks debt settlement service will create an escrow account for you. They will also arrange for you to stop making payments to your creditors. Instead of making payments to various creditors, you'll make one reasonable payment each month into your Fairbanks debt settlement account.

While you begin to build your debt settlement account, your Fairbanks debt settlement service will negotiate with your creditors. The goal of debt settlement is for you to make a one time, final payment on each of your credit bills, but for less money than the total amount due. In many Fairbanks debt settlement cases, creditors have agreed to settle for 40% to 60% of money originally owed! If you have any questions, please visit our FAQ Alaska Debt Consolidation page.
