(prHWY.com) February 16, 2012 - Chicago, IL -- If you're faced with financial difficulties, a
debt settlement may seem to be a great source of relief. For a one-time, lump sum payment, your debts are resolved. You're no longer making monthly payments to a creditor, no more collection calls, no more letters threatening action if you don't pay. It can be dreams come true for a family struggling to make ends meet.
With so many Americans facing financial difficulty, the number of settlement companies has expanded exponentially. In some cases, these companies are merely scams, attempting to obtain vital personal information and money from people in a bad situation. The Federal Trade Commission is cracking down on these scams in a big way. People found running scam settlement companies are awarded lengthy prison sentences.
To further crack down on the scams, the FTC imposed a new rule on settlement companies. No longer can a company charge an upfront fee for services. Companies that attempt to collect fees before services are rendered now find themselves confronted by the FTC. Companies attempting to collect fees before service should be reported to the FTC immediately. You should not pay any money to these companies.
