Went applying for traditional debt loans but only got offers for Debt relief programs.
I got talked into a debt relief program, Freedom Debt Relief is highly rated and said I'd be an easy client with high success rate because my debt is $14k and I offered 1k/month which gives them a lot of room to negotiate.
However, I don't really want to go into a negative state in order for this program to kick in so I'm thinking of just trying to negotiate on my own by asking if they can temporarily lower my apr for at least 6 months to a year? It would just be for my Capital one Savor and Chase Amazon card , What is the best way to approach these banks about my situation?
