Sorry if this is posted twice. My computer did something crazy and now I can't find my original post.
From my understanding or misunderstanding...a debt settlement company negotiates your bills and then you pay into a fund which is disbursed once enough money is in there to pay a debt. So, your cards are untouched until the company recieves enough money to pay it off. If that is the case than why can't I just save the money myself and negociate with my creditors. I already have several offering settlements.
