   Don’t be afraid to get a negotiation. Amazingly many people are faced with the problem of personal or business debt and pressure from creditors, failed to perform debt negotiation as an option. Whether because of fear or shame in doing the debt negotiation until it’s too late to do so. Relax, you’re not alone. Many successful businessmen have debts of the bankrupt and as part of the experience and risks in business. Yes, that is part of life in the process of growth and development. Remember, experience is the best teacher in life. You might think that the debt negotiation is useless and is not an option, you are wrong, and here’s the reason: Creditors most afraid of losing their money much less need to remove the debt from their books altogether. Therefore, creditors generally respond positively to your efforts in starting the negotiation process of debt collection. I prove it myself! For creditors, debt negotiation program means they have a chance to recover some or all of its assets. Without debt negotiation will likely be a lot of unpleasant things on both sides. One of the debtor usually will happen (for various reasons) are unable to pay its debts (insolvent, disappear, deliberately avoiding, suicide, etc.). Finally, creditors have no choice but to erase the debt off, losing everything, and must pay the cost of debt recovery. And after that, the debtor will deal with the police or other violence that embarrassing. Just wondering, how if you are in the position of creditors and debtors facing a naughty? What do you do? Which is better, if you are dealing with debtors who honestly and openly? Again, do not be afraid to do debt negotiation, attack that fear. When I forced myself to do first, though a little surprising creditors (this is fair and humane) but at the end of creditors and melted his heart softened. After hearing all the sad story of my business failure, believe it or not, almost 90% debt negotiation program (other than credit card debt negotiation) that I asked them to receive and I carried on until today.

   Plan a debt negotiation program that you want before you meet the creditors. Prepare in advance before you meet the creditor indicates that you have actually been thinking about this step as a last step to save yourself and the assets of creditors. You are the one who best know your own condition and your current role as a source of problems for creditors, so make creditors listen to your problems in advance to plan your debt negotiation program. It’s good that we do not get stuck in creditors anger and did not provide the opportunity for creditors to determine the debt negotiation program for you.

   Keep your behavior by being open and positive and try to continue to maintain trust with the lender (though this time they already do not trust you anymore). If the lender trust and believe that you want to do an honest debt negotiation, the creditors will be positive and flexible as well. They want to help you work with your way in overcoming the difficulties, because they know that if you fail, they will lose their assets. Debt is also a threat to business creditors, who have people who can be assertive and aggressive in matters of debt recovery.

   Communicate. One thing you should remember when running the debt negotiation program is keep a good communication with creditors. Do not make them nervous that eventually will make them panic and take harsh measures. It’s better to give an uncertain promise than not answer their phones or did not immediately reply their SMS (short message service).

   Then, adjust and lower your lifestyle, would be very unusual for creditors if when you run the debt negotiation program has been agreed and at the same time you buy a new car.

   Be humble with all people, admit to yourself that this time you are on the bottom. It’s okay, everybody has done something wrong and wheel of life is always turning. God gives exams that are specific to his servant skills. As long as you remain diligent effort, the storm would pass and the storm will be forgotten by everyone. If you’re used to being arrogant and cocky, I’m sure this will be heavy. That’s okay, it might be need time to learn and improve. And if you keep trying to be cocky, I’m sure will be many negative things you encounter in the future.

    Make a change. Debt occurs because there is something wrong, so we must understand it and take steps to prevent this from happening again or continue in the future. Debt generally does not happen by chance, they happen because of many factors such as; bad planning, fraud cases, no control, a rogue employee, or because the expenditure is not monitored properly. Immediately identify what went wrong and fix it. Also tell creditors at the debt negotiation what the cause of your bankruptcy and what you do so they understand that you’ve taken the right steps to ensure the problem does not get worse or re-occur. In my opinion, there are two types of people; easy to despair and not easily discouraged. Suicide, escape, and the lazy attitude of human beings are easily discouraged. I was initially dismayed with, but fortunately I did not linger in this mindset, at longer we will be made more and more lazy. Despair will stuck our creative ideas to add new revenue sources to pay our debts. Creditors do not like the debtor is easy to despair. Once again, attack yourself and impose a variety of ways to always renew your spirit.
