Avoiding Debt Consolidation and Tax Settlement Scams
If it sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true. Hold onto your wallet and walk away.
Most people dealing with debt pressure do not know where to turn for help. They start listening to ads on the radio and television promising instant solutions to credit card debt or tax problems. Before calling the toll-free number, investigate the business and its claims. You will find that most of the tax relief and debt consolidation programs trolling for your business are little more than scams.

To spot a scam, here is the first question: who is running the program? If it is a credit card affiliate or other for-profit operation, you should know that you will need to commit a lot of money up front to enroll, and your payments over the first year or so will go straight to your agent's fees. In other words, you will make no progress toward debt reduction until you have parted with $10,000 or $20,000. The tax settlement programs work much the same way.
There is a possibility that nonprofit consumer credit counseling or Pennsylvania mortgage relief programs can do you some good, but these are very much different from the commercial tax settlement and debt consolidation programs.
At the Law Offices of Brian J. Tyler, we do not promise quick fixes to complex financial problems. Instead, we offer creative debt resolution ideas that are tailored to the circumstances and goals of each consumer and business client. Sometimes they involve bankruptcy, but more often they do not.
