Debt consolidation clients cannot track which creditors agreed to settlements

People managing multiple debts through settlement or consolidation services lose track of which accounts are settled, in negotiation, or still active, leading to accidental continued payments or missed settlement deadlines. Most debt management platforms show account status but don't integrate settlement agreement terms, timelines, or proof of completion from creditors.
