Credit card debt relief FAQ

Fast answers to common questions about consolidation loans, hardship relief, and balance transfer strategies.

What is the best credit card debt relief option?

Start by comparing consolidation loans and balance transfer offers to reduce APRs. If those are not a fit, hardship relief and settlement programs can restructure payments and reduce balances.

Will checking my options hurt my credit score?

No. The initial consultation and comparison are completed without a hard credit pull.

How long does credit card debt relief take?

Consolidation loans often run 36–60 months, while hardship relief programs generally take 24–48 months depending on balances and negotiated terms.

How do I compare consolidation vs. hardship relief?

Compare monthly payments, total payoff timeline, and credit impact. Use the Compare Us page for side-by-side details and the FAQs page for more guidance.

Consolidation Loan

One loan pays off many cards. We try this first; if not a fit, we instantly pivot to a hardship relief program.

Payments: one predictable payment; amount depends on APR & term.
Timeline: typically 36–60+ months.
Credit: best fit when the new APR is meaningfully lower than your blended rate.

Hardship Relief Program

Alternative hardship path that helps lower balances when you’re behind or don’t qualify for a loan.

Payments: often lower than current minimums (varies by balances & hardship).
Timeline: ~24–48 months typical.
Credit: short-term impact during the relief process; recovery possible after completion.
