The type of debt relief Allied Debt Relief offers is known by several names: debt resolution, debt negotiation, and debt settlement. Debt relief allows you to resolve your unsecured debt by negotiating with creditors and reducing the amount you owe. You could negotiate with your creditors on your own or use a debt relief program like Allied Debt Relief to help you settle your debt. 

During the debt relief process, you usually stop paying your creditors and start saving money in a special purpose account you will use to settle your debt. Once enough money is saved, either you or the debt relief company you hired contacts your creditors to negotiate a new debt amount that is lower than you currently owe.

No. Allied Debt Relief is a legitimate company that has helped tens of thousands of clients since we started in 2001. Every day, our dedicated employees carry out our mission to help people solve their debt problems — even if the solution they choose isn’t Allied Debt Relief.

Our goal is to help you get out of debt as fast as possible by negotiating with your creditors to get them to accept significantly less than face value on your unsecured debts. Depending on the condition of your credit report at the time of enrollment, any debt settlement or debt negotiation program, including ours, could negatively affect your credit. Negative information could remain on your credit report for up to seven years. By engaging in good credit behavior, anyone’s credit score could recover over time. Results vary depending on your payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history, and debt-to-income ratio. 

If getting out of debt is more important to you than the likelihood that your score will be negatively impacted, our program could help you resolve your debt faster and for less—without declaring bankruptcy.

Due to your legitimate financial hardship, you are able to participate in this savings program in order to help pay your debts in the future. We are not here to advise you not to pay your debts now, however if you are able to make payments to your creditors, then you probably don’t actually have a legitimate financial hardship.

There are federal and state laws designed to protect you from collections harassment, but the fact is most of our clients will experience some collections calls. Our goal is to get your creditors to call Allied Debt Relief, not you. Find out more about laws that regulate debt collector behavior and what your rights are.

Bankruptcy is an option that is generally treated as a last resort. It will remain on your credit report for 10 years & you can be denied employment, state licenses, insurance, as well as tenancy of an apartment. Most importantly, you can be denied virtually any type of credit with a bankruptcy on your report. In addition, since the bankruptcy laws have changed recently, it is even more difficult to qualify for Chapter 7, the method of liquidating assets to eliminate your debt. You will not be allowed to discharge alimony, child support, taxes, student loans, judgments, or any loan on the bankruptcy petition. Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your debt payments are simply restructured meaning you will still have to pay a percentage of your debts while you suffer the consequences of bankruptcy. Debt settlement is an alternative to bankruptcy.
