PROVANTA. , MY CREDIT CARD SOLUTION

Have you found yourself unable to pay your bills? Buy your groceries? Or even put gas in your car? I have been there and long before the recession. Let me tell you a little about myself before I go into more detail so you will have a better understanding of how my life used to be.

My husband and I were a young new married couple just starting out with student loans,lines of credit, credit cards, debts of all sorts and was barely scraping by. He worked 2 full time jobs and I worked one 60 hours a week plus as a salary manager at a local restaurant when I found myself pregnant. What a scary thought I could barely pay my bills as it was, let alone be off of work for 2 months. Not to mention diapers, clothes and food for a new baby. What should have been a joyful time in our lives was a horrible nightmare. So what should I do? Were do I go? Should I file bankruptcy? All I new was this was not going to work and something needed to change and fast. So I do the same thing that all Americans do, flip open the laptop and search the net for the best settlement company.

The Answer 

After searching awhile I found the program to work for me. The company's name is called PROVANTA. PROVANTA is a debt settlement solution for unsecure debt that you may have. These debts are credit cards, unsecured loans, or any type of debt that does not have callatoral. So what does PROVANTA. do? If you sign up with PROVANTA. , They will send you a debt settlement solution plan. This debt plan will break down all your unsecured debt and give you a lump sum of what you owe. Then Provanta will give a estimate as to what they could reduce this total debt to and make you a budget plan that fits your needs. My situation was I was paying around 700.00 a month in unsecured debt and they set me up on a budget plan were I paid them 400.00 a month for 2 years. So what happens next? PROVANTA. took my 400.00 and put it into a account and let it grow while they delt with the creditors.

This was my selling point. No longer having to deal with harassing creditors hounding me for money, calling me all hours of the day, my phone used to ring all day long it was great to have peace in my house. I turned it all over PROVANTA. and never had to deal with them again. On a occation I would get a random call and all I had to say was that they have dialed the wrong number and I could not speak to them they needed to speak to PROVANTA. at # and hang up. It was a great feeling to unload all that stress unto someone else. Trhoughout this story, you will see why I consider PROVANTA to be one of the best debt settlement companies out there.

New Arrival, New Problems 

So when my beautiful son decided to try to come 3 months early the doctors put me on bed rest so I ended up with a 6 month maturnity leave wich was not in my budget. I called PROVANTA. (with that dredful knot in my stomache thinking here we go again) to explain the situation they were kind and delightful and answered politely so what can you afford to send us today shonna? No judgements, no threats, no nothing. Just a simple what can we do to help? What can you afford? They were wonderful, they considered my situation first not thiers. They realized that my family was suffering. This is one of the reasons i consider them to be the best settlement company out there, they cared about us, my family, and our well being.

PROVANTA. settled my 19,000 debt down to about 7,000 in just a little over 2 years. I would recommend this program to anyone listening. Provanta helped me in a great time of need and prevented me from filing bankruptcy. I owe them great gratitude what they had done for our family and our debt crisis. With today approaching a failing economy, everything going up (but our paychecks) were are you to turn for help with your debt? People are stuggling with finances more now than ever. Divorce is on the rise and people are starving. Older couples are freezing to death literaly in their homes because they cant afford heat.

A New Look on Life 

Today my out look is a lot better even in a recession. I am a stay at home mom now living a pretty good life. I don't have everything I want, but we live a lot better than we did. I know attend pee wee functions, and book fairs, and my husband and I actually see each other these days. How good would it feel to pick up those bundled bills and just hand them over to someone else and just say "here you deal with it I cant do it anymore" Would it be a brick off your chest? What a relief! Would you feel healthy for a change? I know I did. Provanta changed my life and they can change yours too. This is a very personal story for me and I know what your going through don't struggle alone. There are real people to help including me if you have questions feel free to post here or email me at anytime. Provanta in my opinion is the best settlement company out there, if you are looking for real people who care about your needs, and your financial situation. They want to help and are always courteous and treat your finances with dignity. They have earned the "best settlement company"in my book by fighting to get me the best settlement and fast.

10 Questions To Ask When Choosing A Debt Settlement Company 

I Foud This Post On Provanta's Website. Some Really Good Suggestions!

Choosing the debt settlement company can be tough in todays world of scams, and hardships. Everyone is screaming for you to join thier debt settlement company. So How do you choose which one is right for you? Once again I am proud that PROVANTA has posted this free information on thier site. This is some great useful information on helping you make a informed decision as to how to find the best debt settlement company for you. Check out PROVANTA's Top 10 questions to ask when choosing the best settlement company below:

1. How long have you been in the debt settlement business? In my opinion the answer needs to be at least 10 years. Any less and the company does not have enough of a track record to provide feedback on average settlement rates etc.

2. Are you going to be handling my settlements or do you outsource this to a third-party? Generally speaking you do NOT want to be dealing with more than one company

3. Are you a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB)? If not you can immediately discard the company regardless of what they say. If they are a member visit www.bbb.org to search for the business listing. Make sure that all outstanding complaints, if any, have been resolved.

4. Can you do business in my state of residence?

5. Can you reach settlements with my creditors? Provide the company a list of your creditors with the respective balances. Make sure they have a history of settling with your particular creditors. Tell them your story. Provide a little background as to how the debt accrued.

6. What is the total cost of the program including fees? This figure should be somewhere around 60% of your current debt amount.

7. How much are your fees and how are they assessed? The answer you should be looking for is somewhere between 15 - 20% and the fees should be fixed. If there are "administrative", "retainer", "variable", or other fees involved, or if the company cannot quote you a figure for fees then this might be a red flag.

8. What are your hours of business and who can I contact if I have a question regarding my account? The rep you speak with on the phone with may not ultimately be the person you have to deal with if you have an issue. Strong customer service is the cornerstone of a successful debt settlement company.

9. What is your web address (URL)? The company website can provide a wealth of information as to the legitimacy of the business. Make sure they list a physical address under the "contact us/about us" page. Look around for fresh content. Make sure the site is copyrighted for the current year. Make sure there are no discrepancies between the messages on the website and what the representative on the phone tells you.

10. Ask a couple tough questions and guage the response. For example, "can my creditors sue me", "will they continue to call me", and "will my credit score go down"? The answer to all these questions is "yes" so make sure the representative does a good job explaining why.

There are many other questions to ask of course but ultimately you need to be comfortable with whatever decision you make. Remember, you are looking for peace of mind and not additional stress. A debt settlement company CANNOT magically eliminate your debt overnight but a good debt settlement company should be able to adequately address your concerns regardless of what they are or when they occur.

Thank you PROVANTA for this unbiased information! What a way to prove that you are there for the people and not yourself! Another reason why I have given them "The Best Settlement Company" title.

    Excellent lens on Debt Negotiation Settlement, I found it very informative and user friendly, it's important that people are made aware of their options if they ever fall into an insurmountable level of debt.

    One thing to be careful of is this: Any amount you get "forgiven or reduced" is considered income, example you owe 20k and they settle for 5k that 15k IS considered income by the IRS and you WILL be taxed on it, I think the form you get is a 1099E, I ran into this a few years back

    Debt settlement program Debt Negotiation Program Bankruptcy, credit crad debt or any kind of debt will be settled with the apropiate Debt Management Program. Negotiating over the price of a purchase could be called Debt Negotiation, and a few people realize there is a debt solution that puts you in the ball game and levels the playing field between you and your creditors.

    Clients of a Debt Settlement Program realize a savings of up to 50% in payments, and reduce the amount they owe by 40% to 60% which enables them to pay off debts quicker and regain financial stability.

    It is very easy to fall into the habit of buying more than one can afford. So many new toys and other 'things' made to look attractive to our eyes. Dad was a fine example to his kids. He said, "Don't buy on impulse, 'Sleep on it.' In other words let a day go by to think about the purchase .. chances are you will NOT buy it. I saved a lot of money by following his advice. This is a very good lens for those who have fallen into debt though. 5*s
