Appearances may often be deceptive but that does not mean appearances are not important. If your debt settlement a service provider operates from a shabby corner office in a decrepit building,
it is best to deal with some other service provider. The expert may be very good at what he or she does but will find it very difficult to win the confidence of the customers. On the other hand, if a brand new settlement company registered just a few days ago leases office at a very posh and expensive mall, then you should consider this as a warning sign as well. If you rely on such a settlement company, chances are high that you will have to pay a lot of fees just to help the company manage its expenses. That is the reason why you should check out the website of the settlement company before you get in touch with the expert personally. If the service provider has not bothered about the web site at all, then that is a negative point. This means that the expert is not proficient in the World Wide Web or does not respect its importance. A lot of resources including the latest news and information is available on the web. If you ignore this resource, chances are high that your service provider will not fetch a very high waiver. The absence of web site also implies that the settlement service provider is not affiliated with TASC or other such trade bodies. This is because these bodies have specific guidelines governing the web sites. If these rules and regulations are ignored, then it either indicates lack of competence or lack of honesty. It is best to deal with a company that has well maintained and functional web site. Again, a web site that provides basic information without any useful addition to your knowledge is also of no use. The website should be something more than a list of all the employees working in the company. These small things will go a long way in determining whether the service provider is genuine not. The next time you feel confused; simply rely on online resources before you make a personal visit to the office of the settlement company. Just 15 minutes on the web and 15 minutes on a personal visit will be sufficient for you to conclude whether the service provider is a reliable entity or not. If you are over $10k in unsecured debt it would be financially prudent for you to consider a debt settlement.
