Desperately looking for a way out of debt? Yes we understand! But, today, we are not going to discuss the way out of debt.
Instead, we will discuss how you can avoid falling prey to a fraudulent debt relief service on your way out of debt.
Once we are in trouble, we just want to bounce back to safety! But, being too eager to do this has its own risks.
For instance, we can overlook so many better options which we could have chosen if we were a bit attentive to detail and careful in analyzing the options.
In the internet era, people have a global reach.
So do the fraudsters! That means if someone wants to carry out a fraudulent activity, he can do so with ease using the internet.
Therefore, when choosing a debt relief Company, you need to be careful not to pick a fraudulent Company.
Let us see how we can do this.
First, let us look at some characteristics of a fraudulent debt relief service.
Since these Companies do not carry out their businesses in a legitimate way, most probably there will not be a business registration number and a registered address.
Most of the fraudulent Companies prefer being web based as they can escape from the law and other regulatory bodies in the industry.
Another characteristic is that they are keen on getting your financial information and account details even before you enter into a formal agreement with them.
Some of these Companies are always in a hurry to get your confidential financial information so it will be easier to identify them.
But, some others are shrewd negotiators and will show you a rosy picture offering guaranteed discounts and unrealistic repayment options.
Due to so many tactics they use to mislead the consumer, it is difficult to trace the genuine ones from the fraudsters.
The only way to be safe is by using common sense and by using the search options available on internet such as business registries, chambers of commerce and other regulatory bodies.
A good debt relief company is a Company which is well established or incorporated under the relevant laws and carries out business in a legitimate way.
It also should have a good relationship with the society, Banks, chambers of commerce and other regulatory bodies.
Being a member of a recognized body such as The Association of Settlement Companies will increase the credibility of the Company.
This makes sure that the Company is regulated by a responsible body and that the business is carried out professionally, according to the industry standards.
We can also look at the reviews they carry in their websites but should not solely be guided by the customer reviews.
