New Hampshire Debt Relief

What is New Hampshire Debt Relief?

New Hampshire Debt relief is the reduction of debt through a debt settlement program or debt consolidation. Pacific Debt Relief specializes in debt settlement and we take an active approach to reduce your debt for substantially less than you currently owe. Most types of debt qualify for our debt relief program, including credit card debt, or any other type of unsecured debt.

How Does New Hampshire Debt Relief Work?

The first step of the NH debt relief process is to have a FREE phone call with one of our debt specialists who can discuss with you all your options so you fully understand your position and what steps need to be taken with your creditors in order to reduce your debt.

The debt relief program works by having you deposit an agreed amount in your very own escrow bank account. Once enough funds have been built up, our debt negotiators will get started negotiating a substantial debt settlement amount with your creditors. The program usually takes anywhere from 2-4 years to complete because everyone's financial situation is different.
