My Opinion On Christian Debt Consolidation Services
Christian debt consolidation services is a moniker that stands out from all of the rest of the debt restructuring services, because they claim to be based on Christian principles and will not lead you down the garden path. That remains to be seen. There is so much corruption in the world today that when anything comes along that claims to be religious based, most people are wary to say the least, and wonder if they are on the up and up. And sometimes, the debt load that many of these folks have is so crushing, that any service that touts honesty as their primary policy is the light in the dark that the debt laden are looking for, and they head for it like lemmings.
So, let’s take a little closer look. If you wanted to make a name for yourself in the crowd, and stand out from the rest, what would be a good gimmick to use that would point the crowd in your direction. Yeah, good idea—-let’s use the old religious hook and make the folks who are desperately looking for financial help and credit restructuring think we are the most honest folks in the business. Everyone has the feeling that if you are following Christian tenets in your work, then you would be the tree that they would bark up. That may be very true for some unscrupulous businesses, but there are those who truly live by the Bible’s teachings and the same applies for their work ethics—-so using the moniker of Christian debt consolidation service would certainly apply to their business.
In this day and age of so much corruption all around us, and a lot of it so visible; it makes the choice of going with a debt consolidation business all the more traumatic, because you don’t know who is on the other side of the desk from you, and just what are they going to do with all your very personal data after you leave the room. For this reason, a lot of folks are lulled by the thought of dealing with someone who puts the tenets of Christianity first in his work, and therefore must be someone who can be trusted and one who will treat you honestly and with respect.
So, just because a debt service advertises themselves as a Christian debt consolidation service, does that mean that they are on the up and up and will treat you as they would want to be treated? For the most part, yes. There are some that are not trustworthy in their dealings with the public, but generally the businesses that advertise as Christian based, are what they say they are, and they conduct their business lives the same way they conduct their own lives–based on the Bible and how they themselves would want to be treated.
One of the best ways to find out if a business calling themselves a Christian debt consolidation service is truly practicing their beliefs in their business dealings, is to talk with folks who have used their services and get the general opinion by word of mouth. Nothing is more powerful than that; hearing first hand how someone was dealt with by a business you are considering working with. Also, there is the Better Business Bureau that keeps track of the positives and negatives in work dealings for most businesses out there in the working world. The problem with the BBB is that they are only as accurate as the reports they receive from folks who have dealt with the businesses in question, and sometimes the BBB is not correct. I myself have had a couple of negative experiences where I checked out a business with the BBB and it seemed fine, only to get burned badly after dealing with the business—-so from personal experience I would say, don’t use the BBB as an all or nothing source of info.
Your financial soul is the most vulnerable part of you, and baring it to just any old Tom, Dick, or Harry just because they say they are a Christian debt consolidation service may be the biggest mistake you ever make in your life. Beware of any business touting that they are based on religious principles until you have thoroughly checked them out, because many of them are not based on the principles you think they are, and they are playing a game with your psyche just to get your business.
Long ago, when one man made a deal with another, or gave his word; the two parties would shake hands and that was good enough to seal the deal, and both sides honored that tradition as the solemn contract that it was. Well, not so today sadly. The world is filled with double crossers, forked tongued sales people, amoral businessmen, and just plain crooks that are out to take what you have for themselves. So, beware and be careful. If a service says it is a Christian debt consolidation service and says it follows the principles set forth in the Bible, check it out and make sure it does, before you start any dealings with them, just to protect yourself to the fullest.
