How to Write a Debt Negotiation Letter

Posted on Aug 25, 2006 at 12:18 PM by Gibblet | Comments (2)

When it comes to writing a debt negotiation letter there are a few things you should keep in mind. First off, it's important to note that your creditors can refuse to settle with you so it’s best to write a polite debt settlement letter.

Also, if your debt has not been validated by your creditors let them know you’re aware that you have the legal right to initiate the lengthy process of having the debt fully verified to you as legitimate. Tell them you have yet to do so because you’d like to save each other time and energy by settling the debt. Don’t claim responsibility for a debt that has not been validated.

If you’re considering bankruptcy then briefly explain why but don’t threaten them by saying something like, “I’m sick of you harassing me and if you don’t accept my offer you’ll get nothing from me because I’m going to claim bankruptcy.” Remain calm and have a positive attitude.

Mortgage Refinancing - Things to Consider

Posted on Aug 7, 2006 at 08:40 AM by Sherrie Le Masurier | Comments (0)

At one time mortgage refinancing was based on whether or not the lower monthly payment savings was worth the costs involved in acquiring a refinance loan.

Today the costs to refinance house and home are much less thanks to new “no cost” and low cost refinance rate packages.

Refinance rate packages minimize or in some cases eliminate the out-of pocket expenses that you have to pay to initiate mortgage refinancing. Please note however that associated costs to refinance house and home are still there. Borrower, beware. With these new refinance rate packages that promote “no cost” or low cost mortgage refinancing some of the costs are hidden or come out in higher interest rates.
