Key insights from Sheldon Banker:
  • Most debt settlement companies can’t help once a lawsuit has been filed, Solo can.
  • The scariest part of debt relief is the fear of letting go of your credit score, but minimum payments forever isn’t a real solution.
  • If your debts total more than $7,500, a settlement program may be a smart alternative to bankruptcy.
  • Private student loans are eligible for settlement, even if you’re a co-signer.
  • You can negotiate yourself, but working with a company can save serious time, stress, and money.
George and Sheldon also walk through Solo’s roadmap for financial recovery, from responding to a lawsuit to rebuilding credit after resolution. Learn more about TurboDebt at https://www.turbodebt.com.To submit a question to The Debt Hotline, you can:
