We Alert Clients to Unscrupulous Debt Settlement Companies
Are your family or small business finances in such bad shape that you are considering turning to a debt consolidation company for help?
You should think twice about the quick-fix marketing tactics of heavily advertised debt settlement companies. We have information about them that you need to know, at Alford & Bertrand, LLC, law offices in Massachusetts.
We have served clients in Greater Boston and vicinity with accurate, legal debt relief strategies for 30 years.
If a television or radio commercial for a debt settlement company sounds almost too good to be true, it probably is. An illuminating New York Times article on the hazards of debt settlement will illustrate that point.
If you are the victim of exorbitant interest rates, you certainly do not want to be the victim also of deceptively attractive inducements that could leave you with more financial problems than you already have.

For 30 Years in Boston, Alford & Bertrand, LLC, Has Protected Your Best Interests
How can you tell if a debt settlement company is attempting to operate a scam to your financial detriment?
If a company's communications with you are sporadic and undependable; if they want to take money directly from your checking account; if you are asked for seemingly irrelevant, personal information; or if the company refuses to specifically spell out conditions for doing business with it — then settling or consolidating your debt with that company will likely end badly for you.
There are also tax obligation consequences. You could owe taxes on settled debts outside of bankruptcy. You may be misled into thinking that payments to creditors can stop while a settlement is being negotiated.
Don't allow your financial distress to drive you into the arms of a company that does not have your best interests at heart. At Alford & Bertrand, we can recommend legal, workable solutions to your money worries through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy protections.
