Getting quotes left and right from supposed “debt specialists” that seem too good to be true? In most cases, IT IS! What you must know before taking any “debt specialists” word for it…
"Just like a dentist can't give an estimate over the phone without X-rays of your teeth, or the knowledge of how many cavities you really have, a Debt Counselor cannot give you an accurate quote to eliminate your credit card debt without current statements for all your debt accounts."
Dear Debtor,
If you're looking for a solution to your debt problems and someone offers you a "quote" or "estimate" for a debt settlement program (especially), debt management plan, debt resolution program, etc., WITHOUT requiring ALL current statements (within 45 days) for EVERY debt account included in the quote, RUN THE OTHER WAY!!!

Beware of anyone who gives you a quote without thoroughly researching your account statuses, creditor names, balance transfer, cash advance and large purchase activities, minimum payment amounts and interest rates FIRST. This is the surest sign of a company who is only out for your initial fees and either has no intention or ability to service your accounts after you sign up
