Pros and Cons of Debt Settlement
I’m new into this program and kinda skeptical about it. I’m not sure about the Pros and Cons and what company to trust. I just need to get rid of high interest rates and pay off our debts faster. Is it advisable to get into this program?

I have a VERY low opinion of these businesses – their success rate is very low and the fees they charge you up-front (beofre a deal is reached) can be very high.
An alternative is to contact a not-for-profit credit counseling agency for a debt management program. Interest will alos be stopped and you may repay your debt over 4 years.
You should also speak to a trustee about a consumer proposal – if you cannot afford to repay the debt in full this may be the right choice for you.
