I received a document from this group. It is a real group that helps with giving you money from the stimulus plan to pay off your debt with lower payments?


I have found today a News agency who has recently done an investigation against this company, Please see the full article and news real:

The National Debt Relief Group sales office GHS Solutions was currently investigated for the mailer program and Debt Settlement offer.

GHS Solutions is a sales office on behalf of National Debt Releif Group in Brooklyn, NY GHS Debt Solutions, 4733 W. Atlantic Ave - Ste 3, Delray Beach, Florida 33445

They sell this offer under the National Debt Relief Group and are also a member of the
TASC - THE ASSOCIATION OF SETTLEMENT COMPANIES.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Consumer credit counselors are trying to warn metro residents about a debt letter arriving in the mail.
The letter says it's from the National Debt Relief Program. Some say it looks like it's from the government, but it's really from a company trying to make money off people in debt.
Jennifer Wallis works at Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Central Oklahoma, and she's always on the lookout for consumer scams.
"That's the problem I have, is tricking people into a program that's going to damage their credit," Wallis said.

That's exactly what Jennifer said a letter her client received is trying to do. It claims that "under the National Debt Relief Program" people can reduce "monthly debt payments by up to 50 percent." It goes on to say "Oklahoma records" show the person receiving the letter qualifies.
"I think the letter is misleading because it looks like something that would be from a government agency," Wallis said.
But the letter is not from the government, in the fine print at the bottom, the letter reads the message is from "GHS Solutions," a debt settlement company. The company has 44 complaints filed against it with the Better Business Bureau.
"They've gotten more than their fair share of complaints for not doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing," said Bob Manista with the Oklahoma City Better Business Bureau.
Jennifer Wallis said debt settlement companies can destroy your credit, land you in the middle of a lawsuit or cause tax problems. She's frustrated with how GHS Solutions solicits clients, and warns consumers to do your homework before signing up.
"People are struggling in debt. They're struggling to keep their jobs. They're struggling to pay their bills and kicking someone when they're down is absolutely despicable to me," Wallis said.
NEWS 9 called GHS solutions in Florida, but the owners never returned the call.
The Better Business Bureau also said if there are government programs available, you don't need to pay a company to find out about them.

This company is making many people suffer more then actually helping them. Someone needs to stop this so called government program from doing all of this.

As earlier post suggests, the National Debt Relief Stimulus Plan is NOT a government backed plan. It is also not the same as National Debt Releif Group, which has been attacked for some of the indistry's shadiest advertisements.

If you read up on the National Debt Relief Stimulus Plan at http://debtfreeleague.com/national-debt-relief-stimulus-plan.html you will see that it is a debt elimination service provided by Debt Free League, a debt settlement company based out of San Diego, California.

The service claims to provide some exceptional benefits including a re-enrollment credit and the lowest debt negotiation service fees in the country. Although the National Debt Relief Stimulus Plan appears to be a legitimate service, in recent times, there have been droves of shady debt relief services targetting consumers, so you need to be very careful doing your research.

Sounded too good to be true, and I am certain that it is. Letter has a typo in their return address - actually reads "United STATE of America" instead of "States." No way the gov't would make that kind of mistake. DEFINITELY FRAUD - be careful
