Firms giving this kind of assistance ensures that anybody who is in financial debt could reconcile their balance in due time.

As a co-founder and acting VP of a NYS Banking Dept. Licensed, COA accredited Non Profit from 1996 to 2006, I can testify that debt management firms that are non profit receive the vast majority of the funding from banks and credit card companies. It is a conflict of interest to fund a non profit that provides a service you have a financial interest in. Non Profit Debt management, in spite of what they proclaim, want you to be a slave to Debt. They never tell you to destroy yor credit cards and never borrow money again. WHY??
