Internet's first get-out-of-debt community - members

I signed up on this site and got reccommended to try Superior debt relief, then I start reading and find many negative comments about them. Seems that all the companies have bad and good, so now I am really confused. One mentioned that sounded pretty good was sfixpert or something like that, but I don't know who that is. Can anyone clear that up for me? Also has anyone ever heard of a new one that is linked to the Allegro Law Firm? They sent me papers that had Allegro Law Firm LLC all over them with locations in Alabama and New York? the more I read the more confused I am becoming.

Read my comments on the next thread. I am very happy with Halo Debt Solutions.

Why do people keep signing up with debt settlement companies that have hundreds of client complaints on file?

I don't know why people do it in this day of age. Before I signed with the company I went with, I checked BBB, this site, and googled their name. You always hear the horror stories about people getting ripped off for their hard earned cash.

Sometimes it's REALLY cheaper to do it yourself. I know it may be very frustrating, but, at least you know its getting done...because YOU are the one doing it.

I am with Sifxpert over 2 month now. I am happy with what he has done for me so far. Sifxpert is run by James Lombardo.

Hi scottinred, you may had a wonderful experience with sifxpert, but you may also hear form many who hadn't. Hence, avoid promoting the commercial sites in the forums.

Its important that we maintain the non-commercial image of this community and share our experiences without violating the forums guidelines .

Mtoth, search about the company on the BBB site. It'll give you the fair idea about their status and reputation. You can then decide things accordingly.

I guess everyone needs to do what's best for THEMSELVES. Thanks for the details,SCOT. I've been looking into different comopanies...some of the fees, I have 'encountered' are pretty high. But..I'll keep looking.

I'm doing my own debt settlement and I'm currently 120 days late and have settled with one creditor with 4 to go - they are all talking settlement with me, but not low enough yet; I want 40%-50% - they would like 60% - I'll just wait it out.

If you have a true hardship and you just tell them you can't make the payments; they will keep calling; talk to them monthly, save your money and when you have enough, settle the account. The same thing a negotiator will do.

OK, Jason. 'We' understand. Thanks for the post. I know we can post about our experiences, but not 'advertise'. Makes sense. GUEST- you had some GOOD advice...just save until you can settle debts.

I agree 100%. Search just debtcc alone and you will find so much info about all the companies listed above. That was all I needed to make my decision. I chose not to use any of them. I have read some success stories with some but read more negatives than positives.

I considered doing DS on my own so my husband and I stopped paying every CC officially in January. Well, times got even worse and we are now unable to save to settle. Creditors keep calling-we don't pick up anymore. Suprisingly we are starting to get settlement offers in the mail from these creditors. Unfortunately because of our finances and debt load-we have no other choice but to file BK but if I had the funds to do it...Settlement is a great option!

It can be done on your own if you have the funds to do it. It takes time and a whole lotta patience.
