Clear One Debt Relief Joins The Association of Settlement Companies (TASC)

2008-04-22T15:39:00.003-05:00

Becomes a member of the debt settlement industry’s leading association _______________________________________________________________________

Columbia, MD (March 18, 2008) – ClearOne Debt Relief, a premier debt settlement company focusing on superior product knowledge and customer service while offering the leading options in debt management, debt settlement, and debt resolution, announces that is has been approved as a member of The Association of Settlement Companies (TASC).

“We are proud to be a member of such a prominent organization whose interests are so clearly consumer-based,” said John Wrinn, President, “TASC’s goals to promote good practice in the debt settlement industry and protect the interests of consumer debtors are exactly what ClearOne stands for.”

About TASC

TASC’s™ goals are to promote good practice in the debt settlement industry, protect the interests of consumer debtors, and lobby on behalf of debt settlement companies on the federal and state level. Debt settlement companies act on behalf of consumer debtors to help them clear their debts. They do this by entering into direct negotiations with creditors in order to facilitate the repayment of debts. In return for their services, debt settlement companies are generally paid a fee by the consumer debtor. In order to avoid any hint of impropriety, TASC™ members do not handle, manage, or otherwise control their client’s funds.

Membership of TASC™ is reliant upon debt settlement companies being able to demonstrate that they comply with the standards set out in the TASC™ Bylaws. The Bylaws have been developed in consultation with a number of debt settlement companies, discussions with different states’ legislators, and major lenders. The aim of the Bylaws, and that of TASC™, is to encourage debt settlement companies to provide services of the highest standards to ensure the public and the credit industry’s confidence.

ClearOne Debt Relief

2008-02-20T10:24:00.001-05:00

The Clear One Advantage

There are many options for managing debt, but the Clear One program has several advantages over other recently publicized choices. See below the ClearOne Debt Relief decision model:

ClearOne Debt Relief Decision Model

	Continue to Pay Minimum	Equity in House	CCCS	Ch. 7	Ch. 13	ClearOne Debt Relief
Starting Debt	$30,000	$30,000	$30,000	$30,000	$30,000	$30,000
Term of Pay Off	15-35 Yrs	10 Yrs	4-6 Yrs	Immediate	3-6 Yrs	24-36 Months
Payment Per Month	$1,200	$500	$600	$0	$600	$500
Total Debt Paid Off	$90,000+	$50,000+	$45,000+	$1,500+	$20,000	$17,000-$20,000
Short Term Credit Effect	None	None	Negative	Negative	Negative	Negative
Long Term Credit Effect	None	None	Negative	Negative	Negative	Positive

Continue to Pay Minimum

Paying the minimum payment on revolving interest rate credit cards is a tough battle. To just maintain the balance without going deeper into debt, one must pay 4% of the total balance. Even at this rate it will take upwards of 35 years to pay off the balance. As you see above this is the most expensive and timely option.

Home Refinance

With the downfall and uncertainty of today's housing market and depreciation in home values, consolidating unsecured debt into a secured mortgage debt can be an uncertain option. Also remember, this will not reduce your debt by 50% and you will be paying on this interest and debt for 15 to 30 years, while the goal of our program is designed to have you out of debt in 2-3 years.

Refinancing is a less desirable option, because people may get turned down or not qualify based on income, time on job and equity in their home. Between the up front appraisal fee, title fees, escrows fees (taxes and insurance) and origination fee which could end up costing you a total of up to $15,000 you are not getting rid of your debt but only transferring it from your credit cards to your home while losing equity. If you hit a hardship and can't afford the new higher monthly mortgage payment you are now in risk of losing your home to foreclosure.

Consumer Credit Counseling

Their debt option can be for up to 5 years or more, while the Clear One program is between 2-3 years with similar monthly payment. The CCCS program may show up on your credit as the borrower in a "consumer serving program". In contrast, during and after completion of the Clear One program, the account will appear on your credit as "settled paid in full." It will appear as if you handled the pay off in debt on your own, which will look more favorable for you.

Bankruptcy

Chapter 7
While this option might meet some individual needs the credit repercussions are great. A bankruptcy may stay on your credit for up to 7-10 years and should only be looked at as a last option. Bankruptcy not only affects your credit but may even affect your ability to secure certain job promotions or positions. Chapter 7 also includes possible significant up front cost to have a lawyer represent you in bankruptcy court. This program does not guarantee acceptance even after payment of your lawyer's fees.

Chapter 13
This debt option is for 5 or more years, while our program is between 2-3 years with similar monthly payments. Like a chapter 7 your credit repercussions may be significant. A chapter 13 bankruptcy will stay on your credit for up to 7-10 years and should only be looked at as a last option. This option may also require significant up front costs while our upfront costs are zero.
