FAQ
California debt relief is a real thing. It's available through a number of different California Debt Relief programs, including the state's Debt Relief Program and Mortgage Assistance Program. You can also get help from private debt relief companies.
California's Fair Debt Collection Practices Act has long been a critical framework for protecting consumers from abusive or unfair debt collection practices. Recently, however, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law SB 1286 on September 24, 2024, expanding these protections to certain commercial debts.
In California, there is generally a four-year limit for filing a lawsuit to collect a debt based on a written agreement.
Specifically, the rule states that a debt collector cannot: Make more than seven calls within a seven-day period to a consumer regarding a specific debt. Call a consumer within seven days after having a telephone conversation about that debt.
You enroll through a credit counseling agency. The agency will work with your creditors to reduce or eliminate interest and work out an affordable repayment schedule. Qualifying Californians can get out of debt in 36-60 payments, on average.
Generally speaking, the main types of debt relief that will affect your credit are debt settlement and bankruptcy. Debt management and debt consolidation will not affect your credit much, but if you stick to the plan to relieve the debt, you may see an increase in your score over time.
