Here’s What I Think About Christian Debt Consolidation Services

By Imus Jackson

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.

To me that seems like a ploy just to get your business. How much can a religious based business differ from one that is not? They both would use the basic premise of debt consolidation and restructuring with budgets set up for the future to keep you out of further trouble, and negotiations with your creditors. The ones that offer Christian debt consolidation must have some kind of an ace up their sleeve.

We are surrounded with corruption in our every day lives, from the White House on down through all the levels of government, to the average business man on the street. So what’s to say that a business is on the up and up, just because it claims to be a Christian debt consolidation service. Does that make them more honest? Or is it just a hook to get the average Joe Blow with debt problems to come in the door because he thinks he’ll get a fairer deal than with any of the thousands of other debt services that there are out there.

But, there is the flip side of that same coin. Suppose the operation was run by someone who was using the religious angle to get business in under that very idea, and duping people into thinking that their interests were at his heart, and that they would be safe in dealing with him. It’s hard to tell the shysters from the good guys, and how do you make the decision whom to go with, when both guys are playing the same card as a Christian debt consolidation service.

One thought that occurs to me about that is the Better Business Bureau first of all, and then, go by public opinion—word of mouth. Nothing is more accurate for the most part, than talking to folks who have had first hand experience with the service you are thinking of dealing with; and getting their take on what the whole operation is like. The BBB is a good reference point in getting an overall picture of the performance of an operation, and how many people have taken the time to send in remarks about the company in question; but it is not infallible. I have had experiences where I have checked out a service with the BBB, and found nothing amiss; and then got burned big time—–it’s happened more than once.

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.

It’s really sad that we have to do all this checking and double checking before we deal with a company, but unfortunately, that’s what this world has come to. People are becoming more and more crass, less honest in their dealings, more amoral, and more self serving than years ago when a handshake was all you needed to seal your word or seal a deal. There are so many folks out there sniffing out a fast buck, and although most Christian debt consolidation services are probably above board in their dealings; it is still a very prudent idea to double check their credentials before doing business with them.
