Debt Reduction and Counseling – Does it Hurt Your Credit?

Exclusive Summary About Debt Reduction Counseling By Arlene Schneider

Debt reduction and counseling-does it hurt your credit? There are two primary types of debt reduction and counseling programs. The first is consumer credit counseling and the second is debt settlement. Debt settlement is a debt reduction program and what this means is through this program your credit card balances are reduced.

Debt settlement is a viable option if you have a lot of debt or if your debt is old and has not been paid on in more than 6 months. Credit counseling, in most cases will have little or no negative impact on your credit report.

Some creditors will add a comment to your credit report stating the account is in credit counseling. As far as your credit score is concerned, credit counseling is friendlier than debt settlement. However, which debt relief option you choose, should depend on your overall financial situation.
