Making a survey and some "shopping" for debt relief services here . . . can anyone tell me, what are some good debt relief companies? Can you also fill me on on what makes them "good"? And what I should also watch out for? Thanks a bunch!

Interesting query on what are some good debt relief companies out there. A lot of organizations really make a lot of tall promises and do not back up what they inform their clients. It's good that you're doing your research mei_mei, keep it up.A good debt relief company would make sure to receive proper accreditation. Membership with the Better Business Bureau is a plus--that means that the company has the willingness to comply with quality standards in reference to building trust with the customers. Having few complaints with the Bureau is also a good sign, especially in terms of contract compliance.

How'd I know if they're not out to scam me? Does BBB membership immediately protect me from such?

I'm not really an expert on this sort of thing, but I believe it is safe to assume that BBB membership entails a certain degree of responsibility. By complying with the standards that this organization has set, the company is then expected to deliver the best quality of services in reference to debt relief and debt management. Consumer trust and good business practice are optimum, and when companies agree to comply with BBB standards, customers are guaranteed that they will receive top quality service and have a high degree of satisfaction.

Accreditation is key in scouting for a good debt relief company. Aside from the BBB, it's also vital if the company is also accredited with the TASC (for debt settlement) and the NFCC (for non-profit credit counseling).

Good debt relief companies are also willing to sit down with you and discuss their program with you, as well as clearly explain the terms of the contract with you. If any such discrepancies or certain items appear unclear to you, they will be quick to explain and rectify the situation at hand.
