Are debt relief companies for real?
HOUSTON (KTRK) — You hear the ads on the radio and have probably gotten an email or two about programs that can eliminate your debt.
Before you sign up with someone who claims they can wipe away what you owe, there are some important things to consider, so you don’t end up in worse financial shape.
Offers like only paying pennies on the dollar for credit card debt sure sound tempting. We will start seeing these deals more and more so it’s important to know what you are getting into. "They constantly bug you, they are in your email, on your phone," said Tanisha Gill who receives debt cancellation offers.
Gill is like the rest of us, inundated with offers to eliminate debt, but she is not signing up anytime soon.
