What to do in considering debt settlement.

—Ida

Hi Ida,

Dealing with debt collectors, especially ones who are persistent in harassing and who may even use questionable tactics to get you to pay something, can be tough to manage.

I see that you want to attempt settling with them. This is a reasonable option to get from under your debt. Prior to looking at ANY company to assist you in your efforts, you should determine if negotiating the debts down to a pay off amount you can handle is even the best option for you at this time. I would like to assist you in determining if debt settlement is a good option, given your personal circumstances.

There are no shortage of bad actors in this industry. At this time, I personally think the attorney model or “law groups” offering debt settlement have more than their fair share of disreputable sales people fronting for their services.

I would encourage you to get back to me via the email I sent in reply to your consultation request. I want to help you find the right solution.

Best,

Michael

“I think it is wonderful to have someone like you out there, to help people with these type of circumstances. So many, like myself, don't know what to do or who to turn to. Keep up the good work!!!”

“Thank you for all of your help?! We have one settlement payment left to B of A and three other accounts to settle, but I feel like we are already done! It has been such a weight lifted off my shoulders and we owe you such a big 'thank you'! It got a little stressful there for awhile, but you talked us through it and now we are almost debt free! :)”
