It looks like debt settlement is the best option for me - three PDL's that I can't keep up with. The total balance is just over one thousand dollars - I've only found one firm that will deal with that small of an amount (small to them, not to me!) but their upfront fee is $256, too much for me right now. How can I find a 'good' (reputable?) firm to help me? Also, how do I find out if the 3 PDL's are legal in Oregon? Thanks so much.
