Golden Financial Services moved into Alabama back in 2004, to educate consumers on Alabama debt relief programs. Since then, the company has maintained an A+ BBB rating, was awarded “#1 Rated debt relief company by Trusted Company Reviews”, is IAPDA Certified, and helped millions of Alabamans become debt-free.
The truth is, banks and credit card companies will often hide your best debt relief options from you. Have you ever gone to the bank and spoke with a manager at the bank, and they whisper to you, “hey, I know this program that can help you get out of debt.” Or, “Hey, I know this licensed credit repair company that can fix your credit, take this phone number.” And then they hand you the phone number to a debt relief or credit repair company. Here at GFS, we get hundreds of phone calls from consumers like this, who were referred by someone at the bank, on the “DL” (for down-low).
Bankers are not supposed to refer you to a debt relief program. Alabama Debt relief programs reduce your debt. Sure, you save money, but the banks lose money. Banks are not in the business of helping people get out of debt, it’s just the opposite, their goal is to keep you in debt for as long as possible … it’s how they make money! Sound fair? Or, are you ready for a change?

The debt relief programs in Alabama that don’t pay your creditors on a monthly basis will hurt your credit.

Debt Settlement – Alabama?
Your total balance can be reduced by around 60%, before fees. If you owe $10,000 on a credit card debt, your debt negotiator can reduce the balance down to approximately $4,000 to $5,000. After adding in the debt settlement company fee, you end up paying only around 70% of your total balance.
On top of saving around 30% on your balances, you will be saving additional money by not having to continue paying interest on your credit cards every month. While on a debt settlement program late fees and interest may accrue, but when it comes time to settle your debt the past due charges and interest get mitigated into the settlement.
You will get a confirmation letter from each creditor showing your balance is $0 after a debt is settled. The amount of debt that gets reduced is forgiven and wiped clean.
Are you considering debt settlement? Alabama residents are eligible for a free consultation with an IAPDA Certified Debt Counselor.

Credit Repair in Alabama
You dispute a debt through the credit reporting agencies, like Experian and Transunion.
The credit reporting agencies will then contact your debt collectors and request proof of the debt.
If the debt collection company fails to provide the credit reporting agency with proof of the debt within 30-days, the debt and its associated negative marks will be removed from your credit report.
The debt collection companies will often get these disputes and ignore them.
Over a $100 debt, often they don’t even want to bother trying to put all the documents together that a credit repair company is requesting.
If the debt collection company ignores the dispute, within 30-days, the credit reporting agencies will remove the debt from your credit.
Debt Validation – Alabama
Debt validation is dealing directly with the debt collection companies, but credit repair is dealing with the credit reporting agencies.
Step one: Dispute the debt until the debt collection company can’t prove it to be valid. A speeding ticket can get dismissed right? With debt, the process is similar.
When an attorney is disputing a speeding ticket at court, eventually, the police officer will either fail to produce a document, did something wrong, or provides inaccurate material. The speeding ticket then gets dismissed.
With debt, the process is similar, but there are more laws to use in a dispute.
Step two: Once the debt is proven to be invalid and becomes legally uncollectible, now the credit repair can dispute it on the credit report.
Alabama debt validation companies will dispute a debt for you. The debt collection company will have to provide items including the original agreement that you signed, a full accounting on the debt, their debt collector license. And these are just a few examples.
See, federal laws require debt collection companies to maintain certain documents and accurate information. Debt collection companies are also legally required to keep specific details about the debt. (i.e., When the statute of limitations expires on the account, the address for your original creditor, the date you opened the credit card)
How Debt is Disputed
A debt validation company will send the debt collection company a declaration that may have 50 questions on it. A debt collection company must answer all of the 50 questions in the declaration to prove that they are legally authorized to collect on a debt. The answers they provide in the declaration will act as evidence to whether or not a debt is valid.
Debt validation laws are powerful. These laws give consumers the ability to question a debt before paying it. After requesting debt validation, if creditors try to continue collecting on the debt before validating it, they are violating your consumer rights. You can sue a collector after they violate your consumer rights.
If any information is inaccurate and records are missing, your debt becomes legally uncollectible. A legally uncollectible debt is on that you DON’T HAVE TO PAY.
