Debt Relief - Guidelines For Selecting a Reputable and Trusted Settlement Company

June 2, 2010 - PRLog -- If you've found yourself with debt that you are having a difficult time dealing with, you most likely need the services of a good debt settlement company. Unfortunately, bad companies run rampant in this industry, and you must use caution when choosing a company that will represent you. Here are some guidelines for selecting a reputable and trusted settlement company. There are essentially three rules to follow.

  1. Get to know the TASC. The TASC, or the Association of Settlement Companies, is your gateway to the most reputable and trusted companies in the debt settlement industry. You don't have to visit hundreds of websites to find the best that there is in the industry - you can access all of the reputable companies directly through the TASC website.
  2. Learn to do simple Internet Research. Even after selecting a few companies that look promising through the TASC, you must take it upon yourself to do your own online research. Search for consumer reviews for each company, and also check the BBB online to see if there have been any negative reports or complains. You may also gather information through the FTC website.
  3. Check your desperation level at the door. You don't want them to 'see you coming.' Although reputable companies tend not to take advantage of people who are desperate, there are still some who might. Less than reputable companies always charge desperate people higher prices, and often try to make them feel like if they don't make a decision right this second that they are doomed. Get your desperation under control before making contact.

If you follow these three simple rules, you will find a debt settlement company that you can count on - 100% - to help you get your debts settled, and you won't have to worry about the level or the quality of the service that you will receive.

If you are over $10,000 in unsecured debt you should at least consider getting a debt settlement. Creditors are scared about collecting on their unsecured debt and you as the consumer can benefit. Check out the following link to find the top performing debt settlement companies.Free Debt Advice
