The Truth about Big Credit Counsellors

Most consumer credit counseling firms claim non-profit status and pretend to be independent. But in fact, these non-profits are funded and supported by the very people you owe money to: the credit card companies.

This is why consumer credit counseling companies do not negotiate your debts down: They merely try to come up with a plan to make sure you keep paying your credit card bills every single month.

They want to force consumers to pay as much money as possible to the creditors.
