Debt settlement is a process which is initiated by the borrower once he fails to pay the extra amount that has accumulated over the time because of his inability to pay his debt. The borrower fails to make the monthly payments and this accumulates the money adding the unpaid monthly amount and interest on that amount to his credit. Generally the borrower has two options at this time; he can either opt for bankruptcy or he can initiate a debt settlement process. The debt settlement process generally involves a third party which is often a company that settles the issue. Such a company initiates the negotiations with the bank and settles the credit. The borrower is generally asked to pay some of the outstanding amount and then he has to make a promise to pay the remaining amount.
The debt settlement affects the score of the borrower. The settlement is referred to the credit bureau and it is stated that the credit is settled but it is also mentioned that less than full amount is paid. This badly affects the borrower as his credit score goes to the negative.
