Pacific Debt has one of the best-rated settlement programs available for Wisconsin residents who are eligible for our relief program. Debt settlement is a great option when you face pressure from bill collectors and creditors. We understand what it is like to be unable to pay your creditor bills because of high interest rates or being unable to make the monthly payment for unsecured loans.

The secret to settlement is to stop paying your bills to make creditors negotiate. This action can come with late fees and collector phone calls. Debt settlement may cause some credit score damage as a settlement can stay on your credit report for up to seven years. Consider settlement for bills that are very delinquent or already in collections.

Most people considering debt programs do not have a high credit score. Most people who successfully complete our debt settlement services plan can see rapid improvements to their credit scores.

If you're a Wisconsin resident looking into debt relief programs, speak to one of our debt management experts -- you'll understand your options and how we can help you reduce unsecured debts.
