Can I negotiate a lower principal balance as part of a debt settlement?

Yes, it is possible to negotiate a lower principal balance as part of a debt settlement in Nebraska. Debt settlement law in Nebraska is regulated by the Uniform Consumer Credit Code (UCCC). Under the UCCC, a creditor is the party to a consumer credit transaction (e.g. loan) that is owed money and the debtor is the party that owes the money. The UCCC establishes certain rights and duties of the creditor and debtor in a consumer credit transaction. In Nebraska, a debt settlement typically involves the debtor signing a settlement agreement in which they agree to pay a lower amount than the original amount due under the original consumer credit transaction. The purpose of the settlement agreement is to reduce the amount the debtor must pay, while still allowing the creditor to receive some form of payment. The creditor may accept the settlement agreement or deny the offer. In addition, under Nebraska’s UCCC law, a debtor may also negotiate for a lower principal balance as part of a debt settlement. This may involve the creditor agreeing to reduce the principal balance by a certain percentage in exchange for the debtor making full payment on the loan. This type of negotiation is often referred to as a “principal balance reduction” or “principal reduction”. In summary, debt settlement in Nebraska allows for the negotiation of a lower principal balance as part of a settlement agreement. However, such negotiations are subject to the discretion of the creditor and are not always successful. Debtors should be aware of their rights under the UCCC and should use caution when negotiating their debts.
