How long does a debt negotiation or debt settlement program take to complete?
The time it takes to obtain an agreed settlement on each account will differ depending on the creditor, type of account, length of your program, and amount of debt in question. Some accounts may take up to the full duration of the program to settle, while others may take much less time. Remember, although an agreement may be reached with your creditor in just a few months, the settlement will not take place until the funds are available in your settlement account. This means that in the typical consolidation and settlement program, accounts will begin getting settled typcally around 12-18 months into the program, and continue one at a time throughout the duration of the program. The time it takes to settle all your accounts depends on your monthly savings program but is typically 36-48 months.
