Resolve Your Debts and Regain Financial Freedom

If mounting debt is causing stress and threatening your financial stability, debt settlement may provide a practical solution. At Sims Bankruptcy Law, PLLC, we help clients across Texas negotiate with creditors to reduce the total debt owed and create manageable repayment plans—offering relief without filing for bankruptcy.

What Is Debt Settlement?

Debt settlement is a legal process where a qualified attorney negotiates with creditors to lower the total amount of your debt. This approach can help you:

  • Pay Less Than You Owe: Reduce the overall debt burden through negotiation.
  • Avoid Bankruptcy: Resolve debt problems without going through a formal bankruptcy process.
  • Simplify Payments: Set up a repayment plan that works for your budget.
  • Protect Assets: Retain property, savings, and other important assets while resolving debts.

Unlike bankruptcy, debt settlement focuses on reaching agreements directly with creditors, making it faster, more flexible, and less damaging to your long-term credit score.
