I've been researching this and I'm confused.
From what I understand, the way it works is you make payments to your debt settlement company, until you have enough money in your account for them to try to settle with the credit companies. But if I'm struggling with my credit card bills, how am I supposed to also set aside money for settlement? And if I did have money to set aside, why would I let the debt settlement company hold it for me? Why not put in in my own savings account and then contact the company when I've saved enough money to try to settle?
