In theory, any and every individual can do any and everything without any outside assistance.
You can grow your own cotton, make your own cloth, stitch your own clothes and leave your own life the way you want.
You can grow your own food, calculate your taxes, create your own automobile, extract your own patrol and lead an independent life.
Well, does this sound absurd? Why? Well, everything stated above is not as simple as it does made to be.
Extracting petroleum for your automobile is not a joke.
The same is case the case with a credit card debt negotiation also.
You cannot just walk into the credit card issuers office and demand debt relief and get in a jiffy.
Debt relief is something that you will have to negotiate and fight for.
If you do not do this task well, chances are high that you will end up with a less than perfect settlement deal.
Remember that when you are at the brink of bankruptcy, a twenty percent discount instead for a forty percent discount can make all the difference between financial recovery and financial doom.
Just take a look at some practical problems that you will have to face if you try to negotiate credit card debts on your own.
For starters, you will have absolutely no idea about the hierarchy of the credit card company.
You will not know which company follows which policy.
Chances are high that you will end up getting confused and deal with a wrong person for a very long time.
Credit card companies are not exactly reputed for their consumer friendliness.
In such a scenario, there always is a possibility that you may end up hassled and irritated at the entire process.
That is exactly how the credit card issuers want you.
They want you confused and irritated so that you would not be in a position to negotiate properly.
Secondly, the credit card executive will sit in front of you and expect you to initiate the proceedings.
There will be absolutely no move from their side to discuss the issue.
They will ask you to state your case and listen to it.
The moment you agree to such a request, you would have lost your dominant advantage.
Instead of negotiating a settlement deal, the entire process will be converted into one where you request a settlement deal from the credit card company and the company, after taking its own sweet time, will tell you whether you qualify or not.
The company to is badly in need of the settlement deal.
However, it will not disclose this fact to you.
It will behave as if you are asking a favor and it will take its own time and approach to offer the favor to you.
In such a scenario, if you make use of a professional, you can be rest assured of that these minor points will be taken care of.
