Debt Questions &
Answers
What is debt
consolidation?
Debt consolidation plans involve restructuring your existing debt with
your existing creditors. Money is not loaned, and creditors do not
change --- but the terms and conditions under which the existing debt
can be repaid usually change significantly. Under our Debt Consolidation
Plan, the monthly payment which is expected by the creditors is
typically lowered and, in most cases, interest due to the creditors is
lowered --- and sometimes totally eliminated.
A person qualifying for a debt repayment program will usually find they
are making more progress towards reducing their debt even though they
are making lower monthly payments. Since most creditors report payments
received under this plan as prompt payment, the person's credit report
is usually improved by a payment plan.
What are the benefits
of a debt consolidation program?
Our Debt Management Program combines two
essential elements: the ability and the motivation to get out of debt.
Under such a plan, you make one convenient monthly payment to Federated
Financial and we disburse all funds to your creditors. Usually this
payment is lower than current minimum payments and it is always within
your financial ability to pay. When Federated Financial pays your
creditors, it is almost always at a lower interest rate so that your
payments actually go toward reducing your debt.

Will credit counseling appear on my
credit report? Only your creditors can report your actions to the
credit bureaus. Creditor participation in our program and financial
support of our operations are strong indicators that such a program will
not harm your credit. By reducing debt and having the creditors report
the payments received as prompt payments, most people who enter into a
consolidation plan will actually improve their credit rating. Some
creditors do report participation in a debt consolidation program to
credit reporting agencies. You should keep in mind that such reporting
has many positive elements. Participants in debt payment programs cannot
go further in debt. In addition, debt plan participants are paying
creditors according to the creditors terms and conditions.

How
do you obtain lower payments on your
behalf ?
We have established relationships with many of the major
lending institutions and credit card companies who have agreed to either
reduce or eliminate an individuals interest charges and late fees. It
should be of interest to you that we may be able to lower your monthly
payments by as much as 50%.
Can medical and hospital bills be included in a
debt consolidation plan?
We work directly with these types of creditors on an
ongoing basis. We contact them immediately and are usually successful in
negotiating better terms, lower payments and rates.
Should I consider filing for bankruptcy instead
of joining your program? Filling bankruptcy should be your
last resort in solving your financial difficulties. Although it may help
you now, it will hurt you in the future. If you choose to file
bankruptcy, be prepared to accept the unfortunate consequences. It will
appear on your credit report for at least ten years. In addition, it can
be reported for the rest of your life when applying for certain types of
state licenses, jobs, as well as various types of loans. Before you
consider filing bankruptcy, give yourself one last chance to obtain
financial freedom.
Why
shouldn’t I apply for a home equity loan or debt consolidation loan to
pay off my creditors? Most
people like this idea, as they receive a check to pay off all their
creditors almost immediately. In addition they are told that the
interest payments are deductible.
What
these companies don’t tell you is as follows:
A very large majority of people who apply for these types of loans end
up in deeper financial trouble than they were before. The reason this
happens is because these loans do not reduce the amount you owe. In
addition, you jeopardize your two most valuable assets - your house and
your family. It won’t be long before your credit cards are maxed out
to their limit once again. The only difference is that this time you
will have two types of loans to pay off: your credit cards and the home
equity loan. You will then be facing several unfortunate consequence
among them the possibility of bankruptcy and foreclosure.

If
I miss several payments after joining your consolidation how do I get
back on to the debt reduction program? If you fall behind on
your payments for a while there is no need to worry. All you need to do
is contact our customer service department, and our counselors will
explain the simple steps that would be necessary to bring your accounts
to a current status. Please note that it is very important that
you continue to make consistent and timely payments when on a debt
reduction program. Failure to do so can jeopardize your position with
your creditors resulting in late fees, interest charges, collection
calls etc.
Who
should consider a debt consolidation plan? In general, anyone
who has enough debt so they can only afford to make the minimum monthly
payments on their obligations should consider a debt consolidation
program. There are many other signs of potential financial trouble, but
the real guidelines should be the impact it has on your life. If you are
worried about your bills, you should get a professional opinion about
your financial options. If you are currently behind on some or all
of your payments, there is hope for your financial situation! Many of
your creditors will bring your accounts current shortly after you begin
a consolidation program. Usually one or two consecutive payments will
bring an account current --- no matter how far past due it is. If your
account has already been charged off, is in collection, or even has a
judgment filed against it, we can still set up reasonable payments.
What
kinds of debt qualify for debt consolidation? Many debts can
be included in a debt consolidation program. Generally, most unsecured
debt can be included. For example, credit cards, medical bills,
department store cards, student loans, taxes and bank lines of credit
are examples of debt that are frequently consolidated. Secured loans
such as house payments or car loans usually cannot be successfully
consolidated. Also, any loan that has been cosigned by another person
will require that the other person pay on the loan if you do not meet
the original terms and conditions. Secured debt is debt that is secured
by something tangible. In other words, if payments aren't made, the
security (a car or a house, for example) can be taken away. In general,
secured debt should be paid before unsecured debt.
Who Participates? All major
creditors participate in consolidation programs. Master Card, Visa,
Discover, department store cards, hospitals and medical clinics, student
loan bureaus and state and federal revenue departments are just a few
examples.
