Okay, you can check debt settlement companies ratings at the Better Business Bureau website (bbb.org) The BBB rates debt settlement companies using the A to F grading scale.

After listing down the companies that you liked from the BBB site do try to call them one by one.Also, instead of just relying on debt settlement companies ratings in choosing the right company for you, why not also check their membership with The Association of Settlement Companies: http://www.tascsite.org. and with the Chamber of Commerce and the US Chamber of Commerce.

Feel free to also fill out one of the forms here at destroydebt.com to speak with a debt consultant that could match you up with the right company. They would not recommend a company that's not a member of the BBB or TASC. Don't worry it's free.

Good suggestions by everyone. Keep in mind that you want to supplement your search for a good company, and not go only off of the debt settlement companies ratings. Do your homework, make a few phone calls and really try to nail down how much a company is out to help you become debt free.

DebtBusters (www.debtbusters.com) has been in business for over 10 years (consumer settlement) and it's parent company Arbitronix (www.arbitronix.com) has been around for 20 (commercial settlement).Both companies have an A+ rating with the BBB in Las Vegas.-S

Debt Settlement companies ratings..an A rating means that a settlement company has been around for 5 years. Does it make the company legitimate? Yes. Does it make the company the best for the consumer? Maybe-- but the consumer should know that his/her financial situation and the settlement companies program and policies must match for the settlement to become a success.

Actually an A doesn't result solely from the fact that a company has been in business for 5 years. That is one (out of like 16) factors that they consider. I mean Bernie Madoff was scamming people for 60 years out of hundreds of millions of dollars, so just because someone's been around the block doesn't mean they are a great company or legitimate. That being said, I am sure a lot of those who have a debt settlement company rating of A through the BBB are doing a great job and deserve that mark.

The debt settlement business is still very young, maybe in 5 more years or 10..there would be a more put together system for debt settlement companies ratings-not just their grade, but like a team standings or something. Who knows..then people would have a clearer idea as to who the top players are..the industry leaders.
