DDCF: Dissecting Debt Consolidation Firms
In accounting classes, debt consolidation still hasn’t made it to grade. The term “debt consolidation firm”, in that case, wouldn’t be found in any textbook. But in reality, debt consolidation is one of the most important things a person with struggling finances should be aware of. For the record, though, debt consolidation is reaching a point in life where the sheer abundance of bills flooding your mailbox overwhelms you into a state of helpless frustration. So you choose debt consolidation as an alternative.
Now, it’s important to choose a firm that you know you can trust. It’s not enough to see lots of advertisements about the firm. Try researching about the background and financial records of the firm. It’s better if you personally know someone who did business with that particular debt consolidation firm so you can rest assured that your financial future is in good hands. Check with the Better Business Bureau if the debt consolidation firm you’re eyeing has a good rating with them. Although some say that an A rating with the BBB counts for nothing nowadays, it’s still better than no rating at all or worse, a negative one. Some websites also have a list of companies to avoid and so if the debt consolidation firm you’d like to make business is part of the list, better hit the yellow pages again and look for another one.
One debt consolidation firm that has been making headlines is AmeriDebt. Recently, it was even ordered to close down but lo and behold, it’s still up and running, this time supposedly disguising itself as 800CreditCardDebt[dot]com. Now, this author has nothing against either of those companies mentioned but I think it’s prudent to suggest that it’s better to choose a debt consolidation firm with a reputation not as colorful or as sensational as the aforementioned.
So how do you spot a good debt consolidation firm? Well, to be perfectly honest, spotting a good and trustworthy debt
consolidation firm is not an easy task at all. It’s like being asked to determine if one’s feminine assets are all-natural like chamomile tea or proof of the wonders of Nip/Tuck. If you’ve been around the business for a long time, you’ll be wise to their tricks. But if not, you better pay attention to the following tips.
A good debt consolidation firm, first and foremost, will truly keep the creditors at bay. One of the Ten Commandments of all debt consolidation firms, is, of course making sure that you need not worry about paying off your bills anymore. All those irritating calls and letters --- gone in a flash! All you have to do is continue paying the debt consolidation firm and the latter will be responsible in making sure that you’re given lower rates, more leeway when it comes to due dates, affordable monthly payments and so on.
A good debt consolidation firm will also keep classified information classified. This is harder to certify if you’re having your debts consolidated online. With an Internet transaction, you don’t have the luxury of having an office to go to, a face to picture and a company name to report. So it’s safer for you to choose a debt consolidation firm that makes its transactions face to face.
Lastly, if you still don’t have any confidence in yourself about choosing a good debt consolidation firm, then allow me to make a last suggestion: check out Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS). It’s one of the most recommended and it’s a good place to start as any.
