DebtFixNavigator editorial team and methodology

DebtFixNavigator helps you understand debt relief, credit repair, and personal loans in plain English.
We focus on practical tradeoffs: what each option does, what it costs, what can go wrong, and when it actually makes sense.

What we cover

  • Debt Relief: settlement, counseling/DMPs, hardship programs, legal risk basics, scam red flags, tax considerations (1099-C).
  • Credit Repair: credit score basics, disputes, late payments, collections, utilization, identity theft steps.
  • Personal Loans: APR and fees, requirements, DTI, prequalification, comparing offers, consolidation vs balance transfers, bad-credit options.

Our editorial approach

We aim for accuracy, clarity, and realistic expectations. Articles are written to explain:

  • how the process works step-by-step,
  • common mistakes to avoid,
  • questions to ask before you commit,
  • where outcomes vary by lender, state, and personal situation.

How we’re funded
