ABC News recently reported a fair and balanced look at debt settlement – one that warns of the “bad actors” without painting the entire industry with a broad brush of negativity. Clarky Davis, a.k.a. the “Debt Diva,” warns of unscrupulous practices and red flags to avoid when choosing a debt settlement company, such as claims to be a part of a federal program or that debt can be settled for “pennies on the dollar.” Check out the video, called “Debunking Debt Settlement,” and follow the Debt Diva on Twitter at @DebtDiva (in addition to us at @USOBA!)
As part of an industry self-policing act, the USOBA Zero Tolerance Policy – which outlaws deceptive or manipulative language in advertising, marketing and other communications channels – goes into effect on July 15, 2010. According to the policy, phrases linking any debt settlement company to a federal or Obama-backed debt settlement program are strictly prohibited, as no such policy or program exists today.
The key to consumer protection is doing your research. Make sure that whatever debt relief solution you choose is credible, ethical and trustworthy. Most importantly, don’t give up – debt is everywhere, and you can get help.

What does USOBA plan to do in preparation for the ban on upfront fees for the debt settlement industry?
The ban takes place on October 27, 2010, which means that after that date, debt settlement companies will no longer be allowed to charge clients upfront fees.
It’s obviously not fair to consumers who sign up for a debt settlement program between now and 10/27 to be enrolled in an upfront fee program as the “last one in the door” Will USOBA begin right away to help it’s members impliment a compliant performance based fee model?
Nice to find out you back. And again through an interesting posting.

When you are in a not good position and have got no cash to move out from that, you would need to take the mortgage loans. Just because that should aid you emphatically. I get auto loan every time I need and feel great just because of it.
