What this typically includes
Reviewing your debts and budget, communicating and negotiating with creditors or collectors to reduce balances, documenting each settlement, and advising on the credit and tax consequences. A dedicated settlement account, court defense if a creditor sues, and any bankruptcy alternative are separate.
Debt settlement is regulated by state law in Massachusetts: many states license debt-settlement (debt-adjusting) providers and cap their fees, and some restrict for-profit settlement — so who can help you, and what they can charge, depends on Massachusetts. Your state’s statute of limitations on debt also affects your leverage.
Debt settlement attorneys in Massachusetts typically charge a percentage of the enrolled debt or the amount saved, or a flat fee per account. Federal and state rules limit advance fees — generally you should not pay until a debt is actually settled — and free nonprofit credit counseling is an alternative, so compare options and watch for upfront-fee scams.
