The process may also be referred to as Third Party Debt Negotiation. If negotiated properly on behalf of the debtor it can quickly and dramatically reduce the debtor's debt. Settlements typically range from 20% to 80% of the current debt, with the typical overall savings being about 50%. Most creditors offer a special repayment plan to their customers who undergo financial hardship and enroll in a Debt Management Program provided through an established nonprofit consumer credit counseling agency.

If you do not agree with the value, you must take action to prevent the value listed by the debtor from being the amount of your allowed secured claim. Reducing your claim to the value of the collateral is referred to as "cram down." "Cram down" means the that the debtor can keep the collateral by paying the secured creditor only the present value of the collateral, plus interest over the life of the plan.
