So, how to to Avoid Costly Debt Settlement Mistakes:
RULE #1. Only get quotes from a debt settlement company who requires statements.
Watch out for high pressure sales people or slick-sters trying to sell you on the lowest monthly payment without even looking at your specific situation. Steer clear of any company or sales person who attempts to enroll you into a program without covering everything included in the “TASC Standard Disclosure.
RULE #2. Only work with a debt settlement company who has been in business over 5 years.
If 90% of businesses fail in the first five years, why would you ever trust your financial future with an unproven start up company? Stay away from start ups or companies with a “business start date” listed on their BBB Report less than five years ago. Choose a company with a proven track record over time.
RULE #3. Only work with companies with a clean BBB Reliability Report.
Stay away from companies with a long list of complaints… especially “unresolved” complaints. This is a sure sign they over-promise and deliver poor results, probably getting their clients sued unnecessarily. You need a company, and a consultant, who will be there for ou throughout your program to see to it you are taken care of and successful in your efforts to get out of debt.
