Why the Holiday Season is the Best Time to Start Resolving Your Debt

, , , , ,

December is a busy month filled with shopping, gatherings, and holiday traditions. It can feel like the worst time to think about money, especially if debt has already been weighing on you. Many people decide to wait until January to deal with their finances, but that often leads to more stress once the holiday bills arrive.

The truth is simple and supported by years of helping people through financial hardship: The holiday season is actually one of the best times to start resolving your debt. If you are thinking about debt relief, debt consolidation, or simply getting a clearer plan for the New Year, starting now puts you miles ahead.

1. January Will Feel Better When You Start Now
The start of the year often brings a flood of credit card statements, buy-now-pay-later balances, and leftover holiday debt. Beginning the debt resolution process in December allows you to walk into the New Year with a plan rather than panic.

Even a simple first step, like reviewing your accounts or speaking to a debt relief specialist, creates positive momentum. You start the year with clarity instead of confusion.

2. Holiday Spending Can Make Debt Feel Bigger Later
It is common to lean on credit cards to get through the season. The problem is that temporary relief often leads to bigger balances in January. When you wait to address your debt, interest continues to build and the stress builds with it.

Starting the process now helps you stay in control. You can still enjoy the holidays without feeling overwhelmed by the financial aftermath. Many people tell us they felt immediate relief as soon as they took the first step

3. You Enter the New Year With Financial Momentum
There is something powerful about taking action before the calendar turns. By starting the debt relief process now, you set yourself up for a stronger financial year. You do not have to wait for motivation in January. You are already moving forward.

If one of your New Year financial goals is to reduce debt or improve your credit, December is the perfect launch point.

4. You Do Not Have To Manage Holiday Debt Alone
Financial stress can make the holidays feel heavier. While everyone around you seems relaxed, you may be quietly worrying about how to pay everything off. Reaching out now means you do not have to handle it alone.

Talking to an expert during the holiday season gives you support, options, and a clear understanding of what debt relief might look like for your situation. You get answers instead of assumptions.

5. A Better Year Starts With a Better Plan
If you want a more stable financial year ahead, the work begins today. Waiting for the perfect moment usually leads to more delays. Starting now gives you time, structure, and a clear path toward the financial reset you have been hoping for. If you are carrying more than $10,000 in credit card debt, December is one of the most strategic times to take action.

Give Yourself the Gift of Financial Peace This Season
The holidays are filled with gifts, experiences, and moments that matter. One of the most meaningful gifts you can give yourself is a renewed sense of control over your finances. By taking the first step now, you reduce stress, strengthen your New Year financial goals, and start building a more stable future.

If you want help understanding your options or figuring out the best way to resolve your debt, we are here to make the process simple and supportive.

How to Tell If a Debt Relief Company Is Legitimate and When to Call a Law Firm Instead

, , , , ,

When people feel overwhelmed by debt, the promise of fast relief can sound like a lifeline. Unfortunately, the debt relief industry includes both legitimate organizations and companies that take advantage of people in vulnerable financial situations. Knowing how to separate the two is the first step toward protecting yourself and finding real help.

This guide will walk you through the signs of a legitimate debt relief company, the red flags to avoid, and why working with a law firm that handles debt resolution can offer stronger, safer solutions.

The Appeal and the Problem

Debt relief can sound simple: a company negotiates with your creditors, reduces your balances, and helps you become debt-free faster. In reality, some companies overpromise, charge high upfront fees, or disappear before your debts are settled.

Understanding what legitimacy looks like helps you avoid scams and find professionals who act in your best interest.

Red Flags of Illegitimate Debt Relief Companies

Be cautious if you notice any of the following warning signs:

  1. They demand large upfront fees.
    Under federal law, most debt settlement companies are prohibited from collecting fees before they deliver results. If someone wants payment before any debt is reduced, that’s a red flag.

  2. They guarantee specific results.
    No one can promise a specific dollar amount or percentage of debt reduction. Legitimate professionals explain possible outcomes, not guarantees.

  3. They tell you to stop paying creditors entirely.  Ending payments to your creditors in order to enroll with a debt relief company must solely be your decision. It’s true that most people cannot afford to make payments to their creditors while making payments to a debt relief plan. Furthermore, creditors are more likely to negotiate on past due accounts. However, be aware that ending payments to creditors can lead to late fees, lawsuits, and damaged credit.

  4. They lack transparency about who they are or where they’re located.
    Legitimate companies clearly display business information, contact details, and credentials. Hidden ownership or vague websites are cause for concern.

  5. They pressure you to sign quickly.
    Scammers often create urgency. Real professionals give you time to review agreements and ask questions.

What Legitimate Debt Relief Looks Like

A legitimate debt relief company should demonstrate:

  • Clear communication. They explain all fees, timelines, and expectations in writing.
  • Proper registration or licensing. Depending on your state, certain debt relief providers must be registered or bonded.
  • Client education. Ethical providers help you understand the risks and alternatives.
  • No unrealistic promises. They discuss both benefits and potential drawbacks honestly.
  • Positive reviews and verifiable history. Look for consistent feedback and an established track record.

Why Legal Debt Resolution Offers More Protection

A law firm that handles debt resolution provides an extra layer of security. Attorneys are bound by professional ethics and can offer legal advice tailored to your specific situation.

Here’s why that matters:

  • Attorney-client privilege. Your conversations are confidential, giving you a safe place to discuss financial details.
  • Direct legal authority. If a creditor does takes legal action, a lawyer can provide appropriate legal advice and manage the lawsuit to lead to a successful outcome.
  • Integrated strategy. Law firms can evaluate all your options, from negotiation to potential legal defenses, ensuring the path forward fits your entire financial picture.
  • Regulated oversight. Attorneys must follow state bar rules that protect clients from unethical conduct.

When to Call a Law Firm

If you’re facing lawsuits, wage garnishment, or harassment from collectors, or if you simply want legal protection while resolving your debt, a law firm is the safer option. Debt resolution through a law firm focuses on settling your debts while minimizing legal risks.

Final Thoughts

There are trustworthy companies that help people get out of debt. The key is knowing how to identify them and understanding when your situation calls for a legal approach. If you want debt relief with the security of legal representation, contact National Legal Center to explore your options with a team that protects your rights and works toward lasting financial freedom.

May 5: Student Loan Payments Restart – What If You’re Already Facing Credit Card Debt? 

, , , , ,

On May 5, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education will resume involuntary collections on defaulted federal student loans. This follows a multi-year pause that began during the COVID-19 pandemic – and it’s a significant shift for borrowers who are already managing other forms of unsecured debt, such as credit cards. 

What’s changing on May 5? 

If your federal student loans are in default, the government is resuming active collection efforts through several key measures: 

– The Treasury Offset Program will be reinstated, allowing the government to withhold funds such as tax refunds and Social Security benefits to recover defaulted student loan balances. 

– Tax refunds and Social Security payments may be withheld. 

– Notices will begin going out this summer to initiate wage garnishment for borrowers who remain in default. 

– More than 5 million borrowers are at risk of being impacted. 

It’s worth noting that interest on federal student loans resumed in October 2024 – but May 5 marks the beginning of enforced collections.

Already dealing with credit card debt? 

If you’re managing high-interest credit card debt and now face the added strain of renewed student loan collections, it may be time to take a closer look at your broader financial picture. 

At National Legal Center, we work with individuals facing significant unsecured debt and help them understand their legal rights, potential options, and how to move forward. 

We can: 

– Review your credit card situation in full 
– Work with you to pursue resolution options with creditors 
– Provide legal guidance and support throughout the process 
– Help you take action before financial pressure escalates 

While we can’t assist with student loan debt directly, addressing other areas – like credit card balances – may help restore balance to your financial life.

Protecting Your Security Clearance: Addressing Debt-Related Challenges

, , , ,

In today’s financial climate, unresolved debt doesn’t just follow you—it can stop your career in its tracks, particularly if you hold or are applying for a security clearance. Financial issues remain one of the leading causes of security clearance denials and revocations. Understanding how your debt can affect your clearance status—and knowing what steps you can take to mitigate the risk—is critical.

The Link Between Debt and Security Clearances

Security clearances are granted based on an individual’s trustworthiness, reliability, and ability to protect sensitive information. When an individual faces excessive debt or demonstrates poor financial management, it raises concerns that they may be more vulnerable to coercion or unethical behavior.

In fact, according to the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, financial considerations are consistently among the most common reasons for clearance denial or revocation.

Security clearance graphic

Financial Red Flags That Can Threaten Your Clearance

Several types of financial behavior may jeopardize your ability to maintain or obtain a security clearance:

  • Delinquent accounts: Unpaid or overdue bills reflect financial instability.
  • High debt-to-income ratio: Owing more than you earn suggests poor financial judgment.
  • Bankruptcy: While not automatically disqualifying, bankruptcy requires additional scrutiny.
  • Liens and foreclosures: These major events often signal deeper financial distress.
  • Gambling-related debt: This type of behavior can be particularly concerning to evaluators.

It’s also important to note that the context matters. Debt caused by unforeseen medical expenses, for example, may be viewed differently than debt resulting from reckless or habitual overspending.

Steps to Mitigate Debt Concerns

If you’re experiencing financial challenges that could impact your clearance, taking the following actions can help strengthen your case:

  1. Seek professional help: Our first suggestion (before considering additional steps) is to enlist legal support that specializes in debt as it related to security clearances, something National Legal has deep experience in.
  2. Establish a repayment plan: Even partial, consistent efforts to repay debts show accountability.
  3. Communicate openly: Be honest and transparent during the security clearance process.
  4. Document extenuating circumstances: If your financial trouble stems from unavoidable hardships, keep documentation to support your case.

Being proactive can make all the difference—not only in preserving your clearance, but also in building long-term financial security.

Who Does Midland Funding, LLC Collect For?

, , , ,

Midland Funding, LLC is a name that might ring a bell if you’ve been receiving relentless calls about an old debt. Understanding who this company is and the kinds of debts they collect can help you deal with them more effectively, should they come calling.

Midland Funding is well-known in the debt-buying industry. They purchase large portfolios of consumer debt from major banks and financial institutions, often for pennies on the dollar. If you’re on one of the lists they acquire, you can expect letters and calls from Midland Credit Management seeking to collect the debt. The types of debt they collect on are generally unsecured, meaning there’s no collateral backing them up. But who exactly do they collect for?

Debt Collector Letter

Debts Midland Funding, LLC Collects On

Understanding the type of debt being collected on can help you when negotiating with Midland, disputing a debt claim or defending a debt collection lawsuit. Midland Funding focuses on debt that can typically be categorized as follows:

  • Consumer Credit Cards: One of the most common types of debt Midland purchases is from credit card companies.
  • Personal Lines of Credit: Loans extended without collateral fall into this category.
  • Student Loans: Particularly private student loans that do not have government backing, with or without co-borrowers.

Debts Midland Doesn’t Usually Collect

There likely have been exceptions in the past and every company may shift it’s focus, but Midland Funding, LLC does not generally involve itself with:

  • Commercial Debt: Business-related debts are not typically within their realm of collection.
  • Mortgage, Auto or Secured Debt: Debts tied to a tangible asset, like a house or a car, usually fall outside of their interest.
  • Medical Debt: Unlike other debt collectors, Midland isn’t known for pursuing medical-related debts.
  • Government Debt: Debts owed to government agencies are not targeted by Midland Funding.

What to do when Midland Calls

When you get a call from Midland Funding, it’s essential first to verify the debt. Make sure it truly belongs to you- you can dispute debt with MCM if you don’t believe it is valid.

Wondering if the law limits how Midland Funding can collect on your debt.

Level One Law: Be a Cautious Consumer

, , , ,

The lawsuit filed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) against Level One Law, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, et al. v. StratFS, LLC (f/k/a Strategic Financial Solutions, LLC, et al., Case No. 1:24-CV-00040-EAW-MJR), has sent shockwaves through the legal industry. The allegations against Level One Law or StratFS, LLC raise serious concerns for their clients.

Understanding the Allegations

The CFPB alleges that Level One Law engaged in deceptive and unfair practices, including:

  • False advertising
  • Excessive fees
  • Failing to disclose risks

  • Client-Centric Approach: We believe in building strong relationships with our clients based on trust and open communication.

Don’t Let Legal Issues Hold You Back.

If you’re currently a Level One Law client, it’s important to understand the potential risks associated with the ongoing lawsuit.

Once you started falling behind on your debts a clock started that will not stop just because the service you hired was sued. If you have defaulted debts that are still collectable, you may have risk. Reach out to our firm to see if we would be a good fit for you.

Contact us today for a consultation and let us help you navigate your legal challenges with confidence.

Is Debt Resolution your Solution?

Maybe. But no one can accurately answer that question without more information.

Downsides to Debt Resolution: Falling behind on your debts will hurt your credit. Not paying on debts means that a creditor could file a lawsuit against you. Not all creditors will settle all of the time. If you can pay off your debt and plan to continue to be able to do so, then stay current and do it.

The right fit for Debt Resolution Legal Services would be someone who isn’t able to keep paying everything in full on time. If your credit is already shot and you need a plan to manage the situation and minimize risk we may be the best fit.

Do your research first, read reviews. I like reading the lowest score reviews first when I am trying to assess a business.

No one knows exactly what will happen in the future. Learn what you can about all your options.

Be a skeptical consumer. If someone is promising to make your debt disappear for next to nothing, run away. Honesty is not a swift sales pitch.

Building a Credit History: Why Good Habits Aren’t Enough

, ,

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right, only to be met with disappointment?

One of our legal assistants’ story is a perfect example. Despite paying her bills on time and in full, she struggled to get approved for a home loan because she had a thin credit file. She nearly hissed at the loan officer after being denied.

The Myth of Perfect Credit

Many people believe that simply paying your bills on time is enough to build good credit. However, this is a misconception. Credit bureaus look at your credit history, which includes the types of credit you’ve used and how long you’ve had accounts open. Monthly bills that are not related to a credit account are generally not reported to credit bureaus. If you have not built a good credit history you could have a hard time getting approved for credit.

Credit and real estate

The Importance of Credit History

A strong credit history is essential for securing loans, renting an apartment, and even getting some jobs. It’s a reflection of your financial responsibility and trustworthiness. Please keep in mind, credit reports are a fairly modern invention. The first credit score was introduced in 1989. Companies do need to have a seemingly fair way of evaluating someone’s history when they decide to loan or not to loan money. As a society we don’t want companies to rely on our looks, race or gender to decide if they think we are a good risk. Here in the US, the credit report and credit score don’t seem to be going anywhere. Instead, there is a complicated structure and rules that credit bureaus and information furnishers have to follow to remain compliant and protect themselves from lawsuits.

Limits of a Credit Score

Just like a high school student’s grade transcript, a credit score cannot tell anyone what you are going to do in the future. It can be looked at to predict how likely you are to default on a debt. Some kids do better when they are in college than they did in high school. A new environment can distance the student from people or things that made it hard for them to be successful. Taking classes in topics you enjoy can get you better grades. It can be this way for credit. Maybe moving into your own home helps you choose to save money by making food yourself instead of ordering. Maybe you had been renting from a bad landlord and had to leave the conditions of the terrible apartment building for you and your family’s safety. There could be a million possible reasons for something negative to appear on your report. It may not even be your debt showing up.

Credit Score rating based on debt reports showing creditworthine

Please remember that your credit score is not a summary of who you are. Just like that high school transcript, it is a recorded history of how you did during a specific time period. It does not actually have any real bearing on how you will behave moving forward. It is only the best tool companies have to try and guess.

How to Build Credit

If you’re starting with a thin credit file, here are some steps to take:

  1. Get a credit card: By using it responsibly and making on-time payments, you can build your credit history.
  2. Use your credit wisely: Pay your bills on time and in full. Minimum payments are not a default goal. Always try to pay your card off in full or as close to it as you can each month.
  3. Monitor your credit report: Regularly check your credit report for errors and take steps to correct them. (www.AnnualCreditReport.com)

Remember: Building credit takes time and patience. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results immediately.

By following these tips and taking proactive steps, you can establish a strong credit history and unlock the doors to financial opportunities.

In case you are like me and hope for a happy ending: yes our legal assistant was able to make a few tweaks to her financial life. She built her credit positively and is now living in her very own home.

Why High Earners Should Consider Debt Settlement Now

, , , , ,

The economy is showing signs of stabilization, but for many individuals, the lingering effects of the pandemic continue to impact their finances. High earners, in particular, may find themselves burdened with unexpected debt due to job changes, medical expenses, or other unforeseen circumstances.

While high earners often have the resources to make significant debt payments, continuing to carry a heavy debt load can have long-term financial consequences. Here’s why it might be advantageous to consider debt settlement services:

  1. Reduce Interest Payments: High-interest debt can significantly impact your monthly budget. Debt settlement can help you negotiate lower interest rates or even eliminate interest payments altogether, freeing up more of your income.
  2. Avoid Bankruptcy: While bankruptcy can provide a fresh start, it comes with significant consequences, a high earner may not qualify for a Chapter 7. Debt settlement can be a more strategic approach to resolving your debt without resorting to bankruptcy.
  3. Protect Your Assets: If you’re a high earner, you likely have valuable assets. Debt settlement can help you protect these assets from creditors, ensuring your financial future remains secure depending on the laws in your state and your attorney’s advice.
  4. Gain Peace of Mind: Living with a heavy debt burden can be stressful and overwhelming. Debt settlement can provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re taking proactive steps to resolve your financial challenges.

Please know that not making payments will drop your credit score dramatically. The question becomes how much is your credit score worth to you?

The Power of Paper: Why Documentation is Crucial in Debt Resolution

In today’s digital world, it’s easy to overlook the importance of physical documents. However, when it comes to debt resolution, every piece of paper can be a valuable asset.

Why Documents Matter

Creditors’ letters can provide essential information about your debt, such as:

  • The balance of your debt: Knowing the exact amount owed is crucial for creating a repayment plan.
  • Debt ownership: Understanding if the debt has been sold to a collection agency can impact your negotiation strategy.
  • Settlement opportunities: Creditors may offer to settle the debt for less than the full amount.
Mail

Time is of the Essence

Promptly forwarding these documents to your legal team ensures they have the most up-to-date information to advocate effectively on your behalf.

Our Process

  • Thorough Review: Our legal assistants meticulously review all documents to identify key details and share with your attorneys.
  • Strategic Planning: We use this information to develop a tailored debt resolution strategy.
  • Proactive Approach: We stay informed of any changes in your debt status to ensure we’re always prepared.
