Start With a Few Questions
Submitting information through Harbor Relief does not enroll you in a program, constitute a loan application or guarantee eligibility, approval or any particular outcome.

Different Situations May Call for Different Approaches

There isn't one debt solution that works for everyone. Your debt, credit profile, income and financial goals can all affect which options may be worth exploring.
The right option depends on your individual situation.

Debt consolidation may be worth exploring when you:

Have a steady source of income
Want to simplify multiple debt payments
Are looking to lower the interest you're paying
Have credit that may qualify for financing
Can reasonably repay your debt with more manageable terms

A debt relief program may be worth exploring when you:

Have significant unsecured debt
Are struggling to keep up with existing payments
Are experiencing financial hardship
Want to resolve your debt for less than you currently owe
Don't have an affordable way to repay debts under their current terms
A participating provider can review your situation, explain which options may be available and walk you through potential benefits, costs, risks and eligibility requirements.

Common Questions

What is Harbor Relief?

Harbor Relief is an independent consumer matching and referral platform. We help people explore potential ways to manage their debt, ask a few questions about their situation and, when possible, connect them with a participating third-party provider.

Is Harbor Relief a lender or debt settlement company?

No. Harbor Relief does not lend money, settle debts, negotiate with creditors or collect debt payments. Participating third-party providers are responsible for their own products and programs, eligibility or approval decisions, terms and services.

What is debt consolidation?

Debt consolidation generally involves using a new loan to combine or pay off multiple existing debts. For qualifying borrowers, this may simplify monthly payments and could potentially lower the interest rate being paid. Eligibility, rates and loan terms are determined by the participating provider and depend on the consumer’s financial profile.

What is debt relief?

Debt relief is a broad term that can include programs designed to help consumers manage or resolve qualifying debts. Debt settlement is one type of debt relief in which a provider may work with an enrolled consumer to negotiate with creditors in an effort to resolve eligible debts for less than the amounts owed. These programs are not appropriate for everyone, and results are not guaranteed.

What types of debt can Harbor Relief help with?

Common types of debt may include credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, collections and other qualifying unsecured debts. Mortgages, auto loans, federal student loans, tax debt, child support, alimony, court fines and most secured debts are generally outside our focus. Available options depend on the participating provider, debt type, credit profile, state and individual circumstances.

How are debt consolidation and debt relief different?

Debt consolidation generally uses new credit to combine or pay off existing debts, which the consumer then repays under the terms of the new loan.

Debt relief programs generally take a different approach and may involve working to resolve qualifying unsecured debts rather than replacing them with a new loan. Each option has different eligibility requirements, costs, risks and potential effects on credit.
