are there any debt settlement companies that are legitimate? I have several old debts at least three years old that have been put into collections...haven't been able to pay on any in years. Looking to pay off but cannot make very high monthly payments so the CCS seems like it wouldn't work since I have SO many creditors to work with and so little money. The credit counseling pays off the whole balance due which has been greatly increased unecessarily. Looking for some debt reduction and a monthly payment option. Is debt settlement right?

Are debt settlement companies a scam? I was thinking of signing up with a debt settlement company but I have heard the debt settlement companies not what they seem. They promise to settle your credit card and unsecured debt for half or less than what you owe. I have heard what they don't tell you is that you usually get sued, get your wages garnished, and that the debt settlement companies over report what they actually save you while charging you a huge fee. In addition, I have heard that your savings are reported to the IRS as income and that your credit report is trashed. Supposedly their seemingly caring sales people are paid high commissions. Apparently you can negotiate with your creditors and be just as successful while saving the thousands of dollars these companies charge you. What I want to know is if all that is really true about these companies and can I actually negotiate with my creditors myself and save thousands in fees. I need the scoop from someone that is honest and knows the truth about these companies

Does anyone know of a good U.S. debt settlement company? I have about $27,000 in bad debt and want to start paying it off.

I have spoken to a few, debt settlement usa; which I have a really bad feeling about because the rep I spoke to lied to me more then once. And the other 3 companies were similar in their answers. Also many of them are only sales people that have been harassing me to enroll. Dont want any more BS! If anyone out there knows a good debt settlement program, please provide a link to the company so that I can find them.
