Is there a minimum debt amount to qualify for debt settlement?

Yes, in Nebraska there is a minimum debt amount to qualify for debt settlement. Generally, most creditors and debt settlement companies will not consider settling debts of less than $1,000. This is because it does not make financial sense for them to spend the time and resources required to negotiate the debt settlement if the total amount owed is too small. Additionally, the cost of the debt settlement fee, which is typically a percentage of the debt amount, is likely to be more than the amount of debt itself. Debt settlement is only available to those who have enough of a financial burden that they cannot pay off the debt in full or make their regular payments on time. Therefore, if the debt amount is too small, it may not be a financial burden that would qualify for debt settlement. In Nebraska, consumers should contact a debt settlement attorney to determine if their debt amount is large enough to qualify for debt settlement. A debt settlement attorney can provide advice on whether a consumer has enough debt to qualify for debt settlement and how to proceed with a successful debt settlement negotiation.
