Why Would Creditors Agree to Accept Less?

There are several reasons creditors will accept less than what is owed. The degree of debt foregiveness creditors are willing to provide varies, with many factors being taken into consideration, but the primary one is cost effectiveness.other words, what percentage of the debt is likely to be collected in the future if they do not negotiate a settlement now? Another factor creditors consider is the likelihood of collecting the full debt through normal collection activity or through the legal system, and at what expense. Before they agree to any settlement they will take into account your income and assets, the province you live in, your circumstances, your payment history, the age and type of the debt, your other debts, your assets, etc.

In presenting an offer to settle, Debt Arbitrators put together and present sufficient information for the creditors to understand it is in their best interests to agree to settle the debt.

Professional Debt Arbitrators will usually negotiate settlements of between 50% to 80% less than what is owed (E.G.: a $10,000 debt might be settled for between $2000 and $5000), depending on circumstances.
