Debt Settlement is Like an Onion. What You Need to Know About the Five Types of Debt Settlement.
Debt settlement is not a monolithic debt relief solution. I like to say debt settlement is like an onion. It has layers. There are several forms of tackling your debt using settlement. All are distinctly different, and understanding the differences is important to make the best choices for you and your situation. For example, you could listen to someone on Facebook tell you what you should do to settle your debt. You might buy a book and try to learn how to do it yourself, or you might contact a...

Personal Loan Bait and Switch Bastards
For many years I've written about the tactic some debt relief companies use to trick consumers into signing up for some form of debt relief.

Damon Day and I discuss the issues raised in I Was a Bait and Switch Debt Relief Sales Person in this podcast. Here is a list of some past links on this subject.
