What card debt really costs

$69,766

That's what $25,000 in credit-card debt really costs if you only pay the minimum. About 32 years to clear it.

A consolidation loan can help. For a lot of veterans, a debt-relief program costs even less. The free debt check shows which one fits.

Example: $25,000 at 22% APR, paying interest plus 1% of the balance each month. This is just an illustration, and your own numbers will be different.

Checking is free and takes about two minutes.

How a debt-relief program works

It's four steps, and you stay in control the whole way.

1

Start with a free debt check

Share your balances and budget. No obligation, and checking won't affect your credit score.

2

Make one monthly deposit you can afford

It goes into a dedicated account that stays in your name, under your control.

3

A debt-relief partner negotiates eligible balances

They work to resolve what you owe for less than the full amount, on your behalf.

4

You approve every settlement

Program fees come only after a debt is resolved, never upfront.

Waiting has a price

FAQs

˅Is a debt-relief program the same as a loan?

No. A loan adds new borrowing on top of what you owe. A debt-relief program works to resolve the balances you already have for less than the full amount. Veterans Debt Reset connects you with a debt-relief partner; it doesn't lend money or settle debt itself.

˅Is this a VA program or a government benefit?

No. Veterans Debt Reset is a private marketing and matching service. It isn't affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, or any government agency, and it isn't a VA benefit. We connect veterans with third-party debt-relief and lending partners.

˅Will this affect my credit score?

Checking your options won't affect your credit score. Enrolling in a debt-relief program may mean pausing payments to creditors, which can lower your credit during the program. Many people see it recover as balances are resolved.

˅Does everyone qualify?

No. Eligibility depends on your total unsecured debt, your state of residence, and other factors. Programs aren't available in every state. The free debt check shows whether one makes sense for your situation.

˅Is the debt check really free?

Yes. Checking is free and there are no upfront fees. Reputable debt-relief partners are paid only after they resolve a debt for you.

Eligibility. Debt-relief eligibility depends on total unsecured debt, state of residence, and other factors. Programs are provided by third-party partners. Not all consumers qualify, and programs are not available in all states.

Credit impact. Checking your options uses a soft inquiry that will not affect your credit score. Enrolling with a partner may involve pausing payments to creditors, which can negatively affect your credit and may have tax consequences.
