How do you find a legitimate debt relief program?

Answer:

Talk to an Attorney. They usually give you 1 hour free to talk to them. As a former debt collector, this is the way I would recommend. From my experience, debt relief programs will still have a neg. impact on your credit rating. They try to negoiate for a reduced amount; meaning a settlemnet. Talk to an Attorney or start talking to your states BBB for info on these companies.

Due to few companies which are fake the trust on all the real and good debt relief companies are also under doubt. You should check whether people have really benefited from their services. Freedom Debt Relief is a good option as their debt reduction program can make you debt free in the earliest possible time.
