Slightly confused

Hello all. I signed up for the site and received an email that Superior Debt Services would be contacting me for my debt. I had talked to a lady there and she told me that their company only does settlement. I was more interested in consalidation, b/c from what I had been reading, this looked better on our credit report. She told me that the settlement would look bad in the beginning on my credit report, but after everything was paid off that it would look good. That they pay 3 companys to raise your score or something to that effect. She also said that the consilidation would not look better. Is that correct?? I thought it would be better to have paid off all my debt, then a settlement of that amount?

How would I get in contact with a consilidation company?

Thanks.
