Credit Card Debt Eliminators, Are They For Real?
By Christopehr M Luck

If you have excessive credit card debt, then you have probably
not only seen the ads but been tempted to look into them. These
are the ads that say you can terminate and wipe out your credit
card debt legally. Before you buy into these companies, there is
some information you should have that will probably help you to
steer clear of such advertised services.

These credit card debt elimination companies will tell you some
things that are not entire true. For instance, many of them will
claim that your credit card debt is the responsibility of your
bank. They will tell you that when your credit was established
and the limit on the card set, that the supporting bank was
taking responsibility for the debts in much the same way as a
co-signer would on any other loan. They will tell you that the
credit card company may call you or even report you to a debt
collector, but that they will not sue you for the amount. The
problem with their theory is that if it were true, wouldn’t most
people solve the problem of credit card debt by just not paying?
Also, why would the banks even take the gamble on the cards with
the huge risk out there that you won’t pay them?

Another way these companies will draw you in is by claiming
that you can erase credit card debt through the use of hidden or
obscure laws. They will tell you that they understand certain
loopholes that protect you from having to pay the banks that
you’re your credit. In the end, though, they are not willing to
make any guarantees, so the process of credit card debt
elimination starts to sound a little less credible.

However, if you get that far and still haven’t hung up on them,
these credit card debt elimination companies will hit you with
the big one: a program they want you to buy. Now, the program
will supposedly be sure-fire, but they are also going to want
their money up front (perhaps in case the sure fire debt
eliminator isn’t so sure fire). So they will tell you that it
doesn’t cost anything, except for what you are paying them for
all of this top secret information they have.

So before you consider getting rid of your credit card debt
through one of these debt elimination companies, take some time
to educate yourself and to think about what they are telling
you. For one, wouldn’t you think that most lawyers would be
aware of these loop holes? If so, then you would probably save
money by talking to your attorney first in a consultation. Also,
would credit card companies be so prevalent if it was so easy to
get out of what you owe on your cards? Probably not, since they
are absolutely counting on you to make any money at all. The
thing to remember is that if something sounds too good to be
true, then there is a good chance that it is. That goes for debt
elimination as much as it does for any other scam you see out
there. So, before you go forward with anything that is going to
affect your finances, you may want to take some time to ask a
lot of questions, research for yourself, and make sure you are
completely comfortable with the entire process.
