In a world filled with sketchy people and intentions, finding a reliable or the right debt solution company can seem impossible! Wherever you read, you’ll hear about the warning signs of trusting a debt settlement company. But hey – we’re not all bad! Scams lurk, but trustworthy mediators exist too.
In this post, we’ll guide you on spotting red flags and building trust with debt solution companies. Let’s uncover the secrets to finding the right mediator debt solutions for your financial needs.
How To Spot The Red Flags
In November 2023, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) shared news that 845 former clients of Student Aid Institute (SAI) would receive reimbursement through mailed checks. The action followed a lawsuit against Frank Ronald Gebase Jr., founder of Processingstudentloans. The lawsuit revealed that Processingstudentloans, a fraudulent student loan debt-relief firm, had illicitly withdrawn funds from former SAI clients’ bank accounts without consent. The total payout is $240,994.00 from the CFPB’s victims relief fund.
This highlights the prevalence of deceptive practices in finance, emphasizing the importance of recognizing warning signs when dealing with such firms. But what are some of the red flags we can spot before falling into their traps?
-
- Robocalls: Be wary of unsolicited offers for debt relief, especially if they come through recorded phone messages.
-
- Upfront Payments: Legitimate debt relief companies do not ask for upfront payments. If asked, it’s likely a scam.
-
- Government Affiliation Claims: Scammers may falsely claim association with government programs or legal entities to appear more legitimate.
-
- Excessive Promises: Legitimate companies cannot promise to halt debt collection calls or achieve specific credit scores.
-
- Enrollment Offers Without Review: A reputable company will review your financial documents before offering assistance.
Being aware of these red flags can help you steer clear of debt settlement scams and protect your financial well-being.
