Apparently the guy ran off with a bunch of money Luke. It is a shame because a lot of people gave him money to settle accounts and he said they were settled but never sent the money. Instead, he kept the money at least according to other posters.
I agree with you Rickey. I have always been an advocate of DYI when it comes to debt settlement. I don't think the companies out there do a good job especially considering the amount of money they charge. I think that money would be better spent in settling your debts for a little more or spending it on a decent attorney if one of your creditors sues you. I certainly would not give a company direct access to my funds or power of attorney. They can just as easily do the settlment for you and then you make the payment. That is how an attorney would handle it.
