Debt Management: Debt Settlement a SCAM?
January 13th, 2010 | by admin |
Most debt consolidation companies do nothing better than simply ruin your fico score in order to settle your debt. If you really want to work with an agency that will help you reduce your debt, contact a company member of “CONSUMER CREDIT COUNSELING SERVICES” (CCCS)

Sorry folks, you …
Sorry folks, you have been had, peed on, scammed and lied to.
WallStreet bailouts were rigged and a fraud, market manipulations,
high freqency trading, flash orders, naked short selling by:
Goldman, JPM, Cit, MorgStanley, Aig, stay away from this scum.
The Fed, Comex, ETF’s, Govt data: frauds. Your labor devalued to Zero.
Pull your money out, walk away from your mortgage and CC card debt,
We can beat them at their own game, buy pure silver bullion,
buy local mom and pop. Starve The Beast!

My co. does NOT take an up front fee. The CC’s will settle at a BETTER with US than they will with the cust. We give them BULK. If you owe 30, you ACTUALLY owe 90k with interest. if we get you 15K with fees you ACTUALLY saved 75k. thats WORTH it. The loopholes ppl dont know, If you settle yourself, they will send the rest to collections 99% of the time. Most people DONT HAVE the money up front and CANT save the money on their own. if they COULD they wouldn’t BE in debt.

ive been settling debts for people for 7 years now and this lady is not 100% correct, this lady probably never has been in a bad situation with credit cards, shes probably paid off by the credit card companies some how. the fact is a good settlement company will save you on an average of 70% depending on what credit cards you actually have, and YES people need to get paid for the work. there are about 10% of good companies out there ARE actually good, this is not an advertisement

lol……a question for MiCasaMiDinero…….if you have a 750 fico sore and you make 70 k a year…but you owe 80k in debt which means your debt to income ratio is high….that good credit score means nothing because nobody will loan you money because they look at you as a risk…..worrying about your credit score with a high DTI….is like worrying about your yard if your house is burning down….

Out of everyone who has posted disagreeing comments about the info provided in this video, is anyone of you a BK lawyer, a certified financial advisor, a credit counselor member of the NFCC or an employee of the credit bureaus who has access to the secret algorithm used to calculate FICO scores?
Didn’t think so!

Companies looking …
Companies looking to defraud people are never transparent on how they operate. The “.org” domain is widely viewed as a “non-profit” focused on educational side of business & not the commercial “for profit” side. Ur site is a “.org,” however the real company behind the scenes is “”Coastal Credit Solutions Inc” which is for profit. The initials for this company: CCS which could be very misleading to people looking for a real Consumer Credit Counseling Service “non-profit” agency member of the NFCC

This lady is a complete moron! She has some of the worst financial advice I’ve ever heard. If you owe more than 7-10k in debt and it will take you more than 6/7 years pay it off, file a chap 7 BEFORE you have judgments filed against you. Or if statute of limitations has expired, notify the collectors to stop bothering you and apply for new credit cards and begin rebuilding credit.
Don’t listen to this woman, she is a moron…

debt consolidation and credit counseling can be helpful but many are way too far in debt to be helped.

Finally, folks, ALL debt management programs hurt your credit. The banks lowering your credit limit hurts your credit; the banks closing your accounts and raising your rates hurts your credit too. So do you want to save money or stay in the rat race? Do your homework and do what is best for you

The only things …
The only things dear ole Suzy said that was correct. Any company that charges an upfront fee and a monthly fee like the one in the video probably is not the best idea. And yes in settlement you can have a tax liability. Thats the 2% accuracy. But in another video she says that if your insolvent/hardship. The IRS will not force you to pay taxes.

Suze is 98% wrong!!!! She is the paid spokesperson for FICO. Ive been in finance for over 20 years; ANYONE enrolled in CCCS will have damaged credit. Each account enrolled is reported with an intervention statement. Dont believe me, go to a CCCS website and check the FAQs. They state they dont report, but the creditors do For goodness sake CCCS is paid by the credit card companies. They are a non profit so check their books. Its a glorified collection agency.

A large majority of ‘facts’ in this video are incorrect or misleading. All of them direct you basically to pay the banks as much as possible.
Facts:
1. Banks would rather negotiate with you then a professional company because a professional WILL get them to settle for less(20-50%)
2. CCCS will freeze your credit anyway, if not ‘damage’ it, and again, banks make more money when you pay in full via CCCS then settlement.
3. Suze here is on the take from FICO. Knew it when I listened, found ver

I will never advise a lay person to watch this video and be misled, she is talking in a particular context; first she should clarify what she is talking about; any good presentation starts with definition of terms and scope of presentation.

You are correct. And just to add, if one really needs to settle as their only option, it is better to contact the creditor and ask for settlement themselves. No need to work with any settlement company because it won’t do anything good.
