Debt settlement, also known as debt arbitration, a work out or debt negotiation, is an approach to debt reduction in which the debtor and creditor agree on a reduced balance that will be regarded as payment in full. Debt settlement may be an alternative to bankruptcy if you have some money, but just not enough to entirely pay all your creditors. Since the creditors recognize the fact that in many instances we can file a bankruptcy and eliminate their debt altogether, they may pay more attention with the threat of bankruptcy as an option.
