subject: Reliable Debt Consolidation Agencies – Need A Reputable Service? [print this page] Reliable Debt Consolidation Agencies Need A Reputable Service?
The old adage, "Good help is hard to find" is certainly true as it relates to finding reliable debt consolidation agencies.
While there are some stellar agencies in the field, there are also some very shady characters who would like nothing more than to empty your bank account and move on to the next sucker in line.
Aurora Lillo Editor of the "Best Debt Consolidation Services" website -- http://www.ReputableDebtConsolidationCompanies.com -- pointed out;
"...For this reason, it is important to slow down and give some serious thought to the debt-relief companies you are considering hiring. There are 3 key considerations that should factor into whether or not a company deserves your business. First, they should have a positive record of accomplishment amongst former customers and watchdog reporting agencies. Second, they should offer a reasonable rate with no hidden fees. Third, they should offer additional financial support to help you build a healthy fiscal future..."
Record of Accomplishment
Reliable debt consolidation agencies will have no problem producing a lengthy record of accomplishment in order to prove that they serve their customers with excellence. If a company cannot provide good references, move on. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) can also help you to ascertain whether any given debt-relief agency is worth your patronage. If any negative reports have been filed against your prospective company, the BBB will let you know about it in short order.
Reasonable Rates
Certain fees are to be expected when you sign up for a debt consolidation service. For instance, customers are usually charged a registration fee, monthly service fees and interest rates that vary based on the terms of your loan. Reliable agencies will be upfront and transparent about their fees; shady companies will try to hide additional fees and penalty charges in the fine print. Make sure you go over any prospective agreement with a fine tooth comb before signing on the dotted line. If you are unclear about any of the terms of your consolidation loan, you may want to bring the document to a lawyer or simply move on to another agency that can be a bit more forthcoming with their charges.
Financial Support
"...Clawing your way out of debt is one thing; staying out of debt is another. Reliable debt consolidation companies will provide you with solid tools to help you rebuild your financial base and move forward toward achievable financial goals. Hold out for debt-relief agencies that can provide you with budgeting tools, support groups and educational materials..." added A. Lillo.
