Debt Consolidation Scam

What is Debt Consolidation?

If you owe $10,000 or more worth of debt, this can be the solution to pay off your debt legally. This is a government-approved debt relief program through the process of combining all your debts into one easy monthly payment, reducing your debts to 50% to 75% from the original total payable.

This will protect debtors from possible lawsuits by creditors. All interests will be frozen and wage garnishments wont be an option for creditors anymore.

How to Spot a Fake Debt Consolidation?

1. Too Good to Be True

When a company or someone tells you what steps will be taken to help you get out of debt without asking for your current financial situation first, be wary for this may very well be fake debt consolidation. Usually, if you speak to a legitimate debt relief and consolidation agency; they will need to assess first your financial capacity including income, expenses, and debt history before they can make a judgment on what debt relief solution to offer you.

2. The Company Charges Upfront Fees

If you are being asked to make a payment or secure a deposit when nothing has been done yet, then this is a red flag. They might also ask for a deposit before they start processing your debt consolidation. Avoid this company immediately.

Dealing with a Debt Consolidation Scam

3. Being Too Pushy

Beware of companies that push you to send money or ask for information that is not relevant to your debt situation, or those which contact you at a time other than the regular company working hours.; sometimes contacting you at a very inconvenient time.

4. You Are Being asked to Ignore and Stop Communicating with your Creditors

Once the debt consolidation has been approved and taken into effect, your creditors cannot contact you anymore. But if a company asks you to ignore your creditors before they have done anything yet, then consider this as a cause for alarm. Your creditors might think that you are running away from your debt and may take actions that might only add up to your worries.

5. The Company Information is Not Available

When dealing with a company offering debt consolidation, having all their information readily available at all times is essential. They should have a valid professional-looking website with all details of the company. If you are dealing with someone who introduces himself as representing an organization but refuses to share more information; you need to avoid them. A legitimate company wouldn’t hide its identity and/or information from potential clientele.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Debt Consolidation is a negotiated debt settlement offer made between you and your creditors with the help of a Debt Relief Agency in Ontario. Some key benefits of Debt Consolidation are interest-free program, no upfront fee required, combined monthly payment into one affordable amount, no lawsuits, and many more.

Yes, your assets are safe from creditors. A licensed debt relief agency in Ontario will help you come up with an offer to your creditors that will make sure your assets will be out of the paper.

No, in fact, this is one of the great advantages of a Debt Consolidation Program. All wage garnishment will stop from the day you filed the proposal.

The effect on your credit score is not going to be severe. Your credit score will most probably go to R7 Rating and will remain in your credit report for another 3 years after you completed the program. This means that it will not be permanent and you will still be able to rebuild your credit score.

 

This varies depending on the proposal you will be discussing with the help of a certified debt relief agency. It is also worth noting that debt consolidation cannot exceed more than 5 years.

If a debt is shared, you need to file a joint debt consolidation offer to your creditors. However, in most cases, in which the debts are individually incurred will have no impact on your spouse.

After three missed payments, your debt arrangement with creditors will be broken and you will end up getting chased again for the original debt amount plus interest.

A debt consolidation offer can be paid off earlier if you can. In this way, you receive your “Certificate of Completion” sooner and you can immediately start rebuilding your credit score.

Let’s Just Put It Simple....... Not All Hero's Wear Caps........I spoke with Suma over a fairly lengthy period of time because of my busy schedule and lack of free time on my part, and she was not only extremely patient and understanding, but also beyond helpful And informative. Any question I had and no matter how many times she had to explain it to me she took her time to make sure I completely understood every single step and process before she moved on to the next thing. I have been so stressed out and worked up about my debt and trying to figure out how to fix it all since I know I will not be returning to work at all in the future because of medical issues and being 26 with that realization makes things just that more stressful but Suma made everything so easy and my payments are $100 a month for less then 5 years with no interest or penalties for early pay off. I’m so glad that I didn’t settle with some other place that was asking for $350 + a month for 7-12 years and paying off early would cost you more.
