Debt Consolidation vs. Debt Settlement: 5 Things You Need to Know

So let me ask you: Got debt? If so, you're not alone. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 28% of consumers have an account in collections. Think about that. More than one if four of us are getting hounded on a past-due bill!

Maybe you're not to that point yet, but you can probably relate to the feeling of the bills piling up. Or maybe you're wondering how you'll pay off your part of the more than $1.7 trillion in student loan debt.

Bottom line? Getting out from under debt can be daunting. Like marriage or car leases, debt's a lot easier to get into than to get out of.

So this week we're going to look at different solutions to destroy that debt.

In this week's podcast, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. We have two special guests this week, Natalia Brown and Jeff Biesman from National Debt Relief. They'll walk us through options like debt consolidation and debt settlement.

Before we start, two things: First, MoneyTalksNews has an advertising relationship with National Debt Relief. But that's not going to influence our panel's opinions. Second, be aware that anything you hear on this podcast doesn't constitute financial advice. Always do your own research and consult your own experts before acting on anything you learn here.

OK, let's dive in.
