So someone comes to you with a brilliant idea to intentionally stop paying your creditors. Instead to pay them and when you have paid them enough money they will attempt to "settle" your account with the creditors. And this sounded legit to you?
There is no law or regulation that says a company must accept a settlement offer, in fact many will actually just go and file suit the moment they find out you are using a debt settlement company. You actually should be looking at "Credit Counsling" as that is a totally different process where the company actually works with your creditors to reduce your interest rates and payments..but you still pay them every month.
Sorry..but you didn't get into your debt overnight..and there is no magic quick fix to get out of it..as you have seen. Just be on the alert that for every company you failed to pay...you can expect like these two, to also get sued. Your only chance now is to find these people(good luck) and if they aren't in jail to sue them in civil court like the creditors are suing you. If you are lucky you may get the money you paid back.
