Freedom Debt Relief an Alternative to Bill Consolidation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 8, 2009 -- SAN MATEO, CALIF., Nov. 24, 2009 -- Bill consolidation is not a one-size-fits all debt relief option, especially for those with high debt amount. Many people can’t qualify to consolidate their bills because of poor credit, lack of access to the collateral required, or they simply don’t have enough money to pay it back. For those people, debt settlement may be an alternative to bill consolidation.

As a debt settlement firm, Freedom Debt Relief (FDR) negotiates directly with creditors on the consumer's behalf to resolve a consumer's debt balance. Offering an alternative to bill consolidation methods such as credit counseling, debt consolidation loans and bankruptcy , FDR's debt settlement programs help qualified clients fully resolve their debts, typically in two to four years. According to Andrew Housser, FDR's co-CEO, debt settlement is best suited for individuals who are carrying serious debt, who are struggling to make required minimum payments, and who would otherwise often be considering bankruptcy, credit counseling or other forms of bills consolidation. FDR acts as an independent consumer advocate on behalf of its clients to help them resolve serious debt burdens in a timely manner. Having resolved over $500 million in debts for its clients since 2003, Freedom Debt Relief has proven that debt settlement is a much needed option for consumers considering bill consolidation.
