The great majority of us have a goodly amount of debt today, and some of us have gotten to the point where we need help just paying the bills and straightening out the mess we've created because we have not managed our money the right way. Unfortunately, there are a lot of businesses that have sprung up all around the country that tout methods of getting you out of debt, and keeping you out; and I was particularly interested in the ones that claim to be a religious based operation and advertised themselves as Christian debt consolidation businesses.
So, let's take a little closer look. If you wanted to make a name for yourself in the crowd, and stand out from the rest, what would be a good gimmick to use that would point the crowd in your direction. Yeah, good idea----let's use the old religious hook and make the folks who are desperately looking for financial help and credit restructuring think we are the most honest folks in the business. Everyone has the feeling that if you are following Christian tenets in your work, then you would be the tree that they would bark up. That may be very true for some unscrupulous businesses, but there are those who truly live by the Bible's teachings and the same applies for their work ethics----so using the moniker of Christian debt consolidation service would certainly apply to their business.
You can't be too careful these days in choosing a debt consolidation service, because just think what you are telling these folks----your financial life history with some facts thrown in that you would rather never have anyone know. Corruption is all around us these days: the government is rife with it, Wall St. has its share of bad boys and just the average person on the street more and more is becoming someone whom you cannot trust.
So, just because a debt service advertises themselves as a Christian debt consolidation service, does that mean that they are on the up and up and will treat you as they would want to be treated? For the most part, yes. There are some that are not trustworthy in their dealings with the public, but generally the businesses that advertise as Christian based, are what they say they are, and they conduct their business lives the same way they conduct their own lives--based on the Bible and how they themselves would want to be treated.
And in doing your due diligence about these so called Christian debt consolidation services; make sure to check with the Better Business Bureau and see if any negative comments or complaints about the business have been posted with them. But, don't use the BBB as an all or nothing source; make sure you talk with friends or other folks you know of that have used the services themselves and what they thought of the way they were treated and what kind of results did they have. I myself have checked out many a business before using them with the BBB, and although most were okay; there was a couple of instances where I was still burned by the business even thought the BBB had no indication there was anything wrong----so be aware.
Remember, just because a business says they are based on religious principles, like some of the Christian debt consolidation services do; does not mean that they practice them on a daily basis. Some use them as a marketing trick to make you think they are more trustworthy than the next guy, solely to get you to walk in the door and get your business. Be careful when choosing a service for whom you are going to bare your financial soul, and make sure they are what they say they are before you deal with them.
The days of when a handshake sealed a deal and put the word of the folks involved on trial, are long gone; and in their place are thousands of shysters and double talkers and amoral people who would take you to the cleaners as soon as look at you-----so the advice here is to beware. The world is not a hospitable place anymore, and there are so many people looking for ways to dupe others and make a quick buck, that before you do business with any service, make sure you check them out thoroughly. Remember, just because they say they are a Christian debt consolidation service doesn't necessarily mean they practice what they preach; and it is up to you to make sure you are dealing with a service that means what they say. - 29866
