What is the Settlement Tollbooth?

When a consumer hires a debt settlement firm or attorney to negotiate on their behalf, those firms typically call your collections staff to haggle — eating up hours of phone time per account. The Tollbooth replaces that entire process with a self-service portal. Firms look up the account, see the minimum you'll accept, and submit an offer. They get an instant accept or reject — no phone calls, no staff time, no back-and-forth. You get a $200 flat fee per settlement charged to the firm (not deducted from your recovery).

1

Firm Looks Up Account

Settlement firm enters the account number. System returns balance, status, and the minimum settlement you'll accept.

2

Firm Submits Offer

They choose a dollar amount and payment timeline. Faster payment = lower acceptable minimum.

3

Instant Decision

Offer is instantly accepted or rejected with a counter-offer. Settlement agreement is auto-generated. Zero humans involved.

Why Do Minimums Vary by Payment Timeline?

Faster payment is worth more to the creditor. A lump sum today eliminates collection risk entirely, so the creditor accepts a lower percentage.

Creditor economics: This is pure upside.

From the Founder

I represent consumers being sued for credit card debt at a debt settlement law firm. Every day I see the same pattern: your members want to pay — they're just paralyzed. I built Debt Digest to fix that relationship from the inside out, with empathy and math instead of judgment and pressure. This isn't a collections company trying to sound nice. It's the product I wish existed for every client I've represented.
