I am going to quickly touch on the two reasons that I see turns many debt settlement companies into "bad" companies.

The first thing is the company hires to many counselors enrolling clients and does not hire enough client service employees to maintain the quality of service. These companies become whats called "top heavy" meaning they have to many clients and not enough employees to do the correct job. These sorts of operations usually hire around 30-40 counselors and maybe have only about 10-15 people in client services. That is a recipe for disaster.

The second problem is having counselors who do not go through the necessary motions to ensure a client is qualified for debt settlement. What qualifies a client? The types of debt. Many counselors will completely look over or briefly look over the clients debts to ensure they can do the job. Another qualifying factor is the income and budget. If a person ends up having to put out more than 20% of their income to repay their debt, debt settlement may not be the best option. Unless the person has not many other monthly bills. My point is all of these areas need to be gone into in full detail to make sure that debt settlement is the right option for this client to take.
