FAQ
If you can't or don't want to keep paying the secured debt, you have the option to surrender the collateral. This means you give the property back to the lender, and you're no longer responsible for the debt.
Which debt solutions write off debts? Bankruptcy: Writes off unsecured debts if you cannot repay them. Any assets like a house or car may be sold. Debt relief order (DRO): Writes off debts if you have a relatively low level of debt. Must also have few assets. Individual voluntary arrangement (IVA): A formal agreement.
If you're struggling with a lot of unsecured debt — like credit card bills, personal loans or private student loans — debt relief companies, also known as debt settlement companies, can negotiate with your creditors to get your balance lowered.
The five major debt relief options are debt management programs, debt consolidation loans, nonprofit debt settlement, traditional for-profit debt settlement and bankruptcy. Each program has benefits and negatives, depending on the consumer's financial situation.

In Illinois, the statute of limitations typically ranges from five to ten years, depending on the type of debt. Once this period expires, the debt becomes “time-barred,” meaning that while the debt still exists, collectors can no longer sue you to recover it.
For example, old credit card debts can only be enforced for 5 years after your last payment. Most written contracts can be enforced for 10 years after your last payment. Credit cards are not legally considered written contracts in Illinois. Read more at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau about old debt.
