Debt Settlement Complaints – The Better Business Bureau Can Help
Today, more people are turning to debt settlement as an alternative to bankruptcy; this is not surprising because Americans are burdened with more debt now than before. Debt settlement is the process where a consumer negotiates with either debt settlement agencies or creditors to reorganize their debts with lower monthly payments and interest rates.
Debt settlements have advantages for both consumers and creditors, but there are also some complaints, too. A lot of these complaints are made with the Better Business Bureau. As the number of settlement companies increase, so do the number of complaints. Complaints regarding settlement of debt are filed by consumers towards those companies when they do not complete their promises or are unable to satisfy. The number of complaints was high last decade but has lowered some in the past few years. Over the years, 70% of complaints filed with the BBB are resolved, so filing with them may help your individual situation.

On the 13thday of October in 2009, the Better Business Bureau issued a warning to individuals actively seeking teeth whitening products online. Apparently, a large number of advertisements floating around on the World Wide Web offer individuals the ability to acquire the smile that they have always dreamed of – for free! Several consumers felt that this was a great offer and immediately signed up for the free offer that the advertisements spoke of. Apparently, the offers appeared on official, trustworthy websites such as CNN.com and even FoxNews.Com. Once a person clicked on the ad, they were directed to a website hosting false testimonials and then redirected once again if they were interested in the free teeth whitening product.
Once on the offer website, individuals interested in the free product could sign up in order to receive their complimentary gift. The initial catch was that shipping would have to be paid. As a result, credit card information had to be obtained. The website disclaimer stated that it was a free trial and it could be cancelled. Unfortunately, many people who attempted to cancel the trial found that they were unsuccessful. These consumers were charged over and over again – against their consent. Many complaints were issued against the teeth whitening scam. If you want to purchase at home teeth whitening products, the Better Business Bureau reminds you to be extremely cautious.
