subject: Reviews Of Debt Settlement Companies – How To Find Legitimate Debt Relief Help [print this page] Finding the best reviews of debt settlement companies sometimes can be an exercise in frustration. Often the reviews are based with bias and sometimes what starts out as good company becomes a bad company in 'real terms'. I am going to reveal in this short article the main criteria for assessing any debt settlement company. After reading you'll know what to look for and how to spot a 'dud' when you see one...
1. Are There Any Upfront Fees?
This is one of the main ways to spot an upstart company. First, established companies don't charge upfront for any consultation with you. They recognize for the most part that if you are seeking debt settlement, then you are probably short on cash, so they accommodate that by looking into your circumstances for free. The really bad companies try to take you for a ride and want to charge you for everything.
2. Length of Time in Operation
This is also a key thing to look for when judging a company. Don't get me wrong, a short operation life span doesn't spell disaster, but generally the longer the company has been operating the more trust you can put in them. Of course you should always look at things like consumer reports etc, but in the main, pay close attention to how long they've been around. Anything over 2 years is good.
3. How Helpful is the Company?
This you'll be able to judge by how they interact and engage with you. Are you getting 'personal' service. The really poor companies are so in a rush to take your money that you often don't get looked after very well. If from the outset you find that the company doesn't extend a lot of consideration this may very well be a sign that they won't get you good results in terms of a reasonable debt settlement.
The three pointers outlined above are gold when it comes to choosing a decent debt settlement company. Moreover, reviews of debt settlement companies, should be based around these three points. If you come across a review or a online debt settlement company that doesn't fit the bill based on the above, move on.
Final Note: The debt settlement process can be overwhelming and frustrating. Having a specialist on your side can greatly reduce the stress, as they do all the negotiating and paperwork on your behalf. I highly recommend that you first start off with afree debt evaluation in order determine the best course of action based on your financial situation.
