These fake companies were simply deceiving innocent people by demanding their service payments in advance. Actually they did not help their clients to decrease the amount of their debts.

If a person demand them to return the service charges then they refuse by claiming that the charges not repayable. These out of law practices make people scared and they lose their confidence on such companies and usually adopt the option of bankruptcy. The immense increase in the rate of bankruptcy is not favorable for the country's financial matters. To prevent people from filing bankruptcy, the central government devised debt settlement act 2010.

They can only ask for payment after the successful completion of their task.
