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 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.
Some collectors want 75%–80% of what you owe. Others will take 50%, while others might settle for one-third or less. So, it makes sense to start low with your first offer and see what happens. And be aware that some collectors won't accept anything less than the total debt amount.
In many cases, a bankruptcy discharge can eliminate your personal responsibility for secured debt, so the lender can't sue you for unpaid amounts. However, the lien on the property doesn't automatically go away. The lender can still take back the collateral if you stop making payments.
