Has anybody had any experiences with this outfit? Are they legit? Is it
better to try to work directly with credit card companies or go through an
intermediary paying them a set-up fee as well as a monthly service fee?
Input? Thanks! Jim

Hello,
There is some information responsive to your question on my
website at
http://www.insolvencyhelp.org/options.html#option2
Look, in particular, at the second paragraph of the section
called "Prepackaged Compromises" a bit further down on the page.
Hope this helps you!
Happy New Year everyone!!
Kindest regards,
Tom

DO not do business with Cambridge! My friends got involved with this
outfit, and they took a bad situation and made it much worse. (And
they take 10% of everything you send every month, plus an up front
fee.) DO not be fooled by their "non-profit" status .... this is a
tax dodge.
There used to be TRUE Consumer Credit COunseling organizations, that
charged no fee -- nothing. They would recieve a voluntary "fair
share" compensation from the creditors. (I used to work years ago in
a bankcard center, so no, its not a fairy tale.) I don't if they exist
anymore - but try to find them if they still exist. Don't do business
with any "help" that takes money up front or out of your payments.

I have heard the same thing. I also heard people who had problems
with Ameridebt. Those non-profits are a total misnomer. My friend
was in a credit counseling program and switched to debt settlement and
found it to be much better. i think the name of the company was debt
settlement usa. i looked them all up on the BBB and this was one of
the few who had a clean record.
