Debt Invalidation: This involves challenging the validity of the debt, often through legal means. If successful, the debt is deemed unenforceable, meaning you may not have to pay it at all. This approach focuses on proving that the debt is invalid or that the creditor cannot legally collect it.
Debt Settlement: This is a negotiation process where you agree to pay a portion of the debt in a lump sum, and the creditor accepts this reduced amount as full payment. The remaining balance is forgiven, but the settlement may negatively impact your credit scoreorn
Many of our customers successfully pay off their enrolled debts in just 24-48 months.

Clients join our Debt Resolution Programs because they’re facing challenges in meeting their financial obligations. While we don’t recommend that anyone stop paying their credit card bills, it’s crucial to understand that continuing to make payments may reduce our leverage when negotiating with creditors. Ultimately, the choice to halt payments is yours.
Thrive cannot and does not provide tax advice, but generally speaking, if your debt is canceled, forgiven, or discharged for less than the amount owed, the forgiven amount may be considered taxable.
Typically, if the forgiven debt exceeds $600.00, you are required to report it on your tax return for the year in which the cancellation occurred. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you owe taxes on the forgiven portion. Many clients can legally exclude resolved debt from their income by using the ‘insolvency exclusion’ provided by IRS regulations. This exclusion applies when your liabilities exceed the fair market value of your assets, meaning you ‘owe’ more than you ‘own.’ For more information, please consult the IRS or a qualified tax professional.
Like any approach to managing overwhelming debt, the debt relief process has its pros and cons—but only you can decide if it’s the right path for you. Because debt relief requires a significant commitment, it’s important to take some time to reflect on your financial goals by asking yourself a few key questions.
What am I using my credit for? Do my goals require a strong credit score in the short term, or am I focused on achieving an excellent score in the long term? Can I afford to make a monthly payment toward my debts?
Ultimately, you know your situation and financial goals better than anyone. You may decide that debt resolution isn’t the best fit for you, or you may discover it’s exactly what your finances need.
