You\u2019ll make monthly payments to a third-party savings account. Once you\u2019ve accumulated enough cash, those funds will be used to pay off the negotiated amount. Debt settlement programs of Debt Academy provide some advantages as follows:<\/p>\n<h3 data-fusion-font=\"true\" data-fusion-google-font=\"Poppins\" data-fusion-google-variant=\"300\" style=\"font-family: Poppins; font-weight: 300;\">Providing Industry Experience<\/h3>\n<p>If you find yourself in deep debt, you might not have much experience dealing with creditors to become debt free. Working with Debt Academy can put that experience on your side. Debt Academy knows how much each creditor is willing to settle for, and what terms they will agree to at different points in the process. On the contrary, a consumer who tries to begin negotiation on his own debt relief might end up with a bad deal.<\/p>\n<h3 data-fusion-font=\"true\" data-fusion-google-font=\"Poppins\" data-fusion-google-variant=\"300\" style=\"font-family: Poppins; font-weight: 300;\">Lowering the Amount of Your Debt<\/h3>\n<p>Debt Academy reduces the total amount of your debt. On the other hand, credit counseling services usually decrease your payments, but not the total primary amount that you owe. So, to make a bigger amount of debt more convenient, look for Debt Academy that can minimize the debt amount.<\/p>\n<h3 data-fusion-font=\"true\" data-fusion-google-font=\"Poppins\" data-fusion-google-variant=\"300\" style=\"font-family: Poppins;\">Reducing Multiple Debts to a Single Monthly Payment<\/h3>\n<p>Rather than making payments every month to each creditor, you pay a monthly payment to the savings account. This can help you focus on a single payment every month so that you don\u2019t stake up late payment fees just because you\u2019re weighed down with the costs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydebtacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
