Posted on April 27, 2010 at 4:39 am Debt consolidation services in illinois - debt settlement - and what to look for in a settlement company :::: -The settlement company's program must have a fast completion time. 12-36 months. -The program must be able to protect and improve the consumer's credit standing. -Must be a member of the Better Business Bureau, BBB, for at least 5 years. -Must also have a good standing with the Chamber of Commerce -A Member of TASC - The Association Of Settlement Companies and the IAPDA or the International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators

Posted on April 27, 2010 at 4:45 am Must be a member of the Better Business Bureau, BBB, for at least 5 years. Right but just like to clarify that the BBB has given some of the most able debt settlement companies a bad rating, even if they don't have a bad record (complaints-wise), and have revoked memberships for perhaps, public relations purposes, because the debt settlement industry has been on the hot seat as of late, because of some BAD companies. Here's how the BBB rates a debt settlement (basis): -accreditation with the BBB -how long the industry has been in operation -how long the debt settlement company's been in operation -if the government has taken an action against the company -number of complaints filed against the company, and whether it was resolved or not -if there's any advertising issues against the company -if  the company has supplied the BBB with a clear and sufficient profile of their operation
