Pacific Debt, Inc. is a great company if you are looking solely for debt settlement.

Debt settlement differs from debt consolidation providers, debt consolidation loans, or credit counseling in that the debt settlement company typically negotiates with creditors on your behalf to pay less than what is currently owed.

Clients pay funds into a third party bank account, which the debt settlement agency uses to pay the creditor either in a lump sum or scheduled payments. With this type of debt settlement, debtors are essentially making the decision to stop paying their bills until the debt settlement agency secures a lower amount and more favorable terms.

For this reason, debt settlement will most likely lower your credit score. The upside is you will usually get out of debt faster and it won't affect your credit nearly as much as filing for bankruptcy.

If debt settlement is an alternative that fits your needs, there are few better companies than Pacific Debt considering its reputation for customer service and high reductions in outstanding balances.

Pacific Debt Inc. Services

Services - 4.5 / 5

Pacific Debt, Inc. offers debt settlement services and promotes this as the superior alternative to other choices such as debt consolidation, bankruptcy, and credit counseling.

The company points to success stories of clients settling debt for 20%-50% of the original balance with creditors such as PNC Bank, Citibank, and Capital One. Although these results are fantastic and significantly above the norm for debt consolidation companies, Pacific Debt cannot guarantee the same for all clients.

Best case scenarios occurred for clients who successfully met all program terms. Also, not all prospective clients will receive settlement offers.
