How to tell whether a debt relief company's reviews, savings claims, and case studies are meaningful and verifiable.
Marketing claims like "save up to 70%" or a wall of five-star quotes can be persuasive. Here's how to evaluate them.
Reviews
- Prefer third-party platforms where reviews can't easily be curated.
- Read the negative reviews and how the company responded.
- Look for detail about the actual process, not just praise.
Savings claims
- Is the percentage based on enrolled debt or settled debt?
- Does it include the provider's fees?
- Does it count clients whose debts were never resolved?
Case studies
- Does it show fees and total cost, not just the reduction?
- Is the time period stated?
- Was publication authorized, and are limitations disclosed?
