BBB is warning financially troubled families to beware of misleading debt settlement companies claiming they can easily reduce or eliminate credit card debt. Since late 2007, BBB has received more than 3,500 complaints from individuals, including many who paid hundreds of dollars in upfront fees to debt settlement companies but only fell deeper into debt.
