I'm not sure .. debt counseling could be referring to credit counseling anddebt settlement is that program that negotiates the total balance or the balanceitself - when the consumer's account charges off..

If debt counseling be credit counseling - it negotiates the consumersinterest rates - and debt settlement negotiates the balance itself.

Debt counseling (credit counseling) vs debt settlement - in terms of their program -(credit counseling is for people whose debt amount is not that high, less than$10,000, whose acct. is current, has a steady stream of income for 3-5 yrs) -(debt settlement is for those whose debt amount is $10,000 and above,whose accounts are close to or are past due)

debt counseling vs. debt settlement - in terms of restrictions and limitations on their practice, per state? I think debt counseling wins. Some states are not friendly to debt settlement, states like : :::Giorgia/ Idaho/ Kansas/ Maine/ Mississippi/ Minnesota/ North and South Carolina/ Utah/ Wisconsin/ -- As to the why? - There really are no Federal laws regarding debt settlement so the states fend for themselves.
