I know someone who was checking into a company that does debt negotiation. Apparently the way this works is you set up a savings account and make regular payments to the account. Once you have enough money to pay off one of your debts they go and negotiate the debt for you, and pay it. But they negotiate multiple accounts at once. In other words they would go to Citi Bank and negotiate 20 people's accounts at once.
In the mean time you simply stop paying on those debts, and let them go into the collections process. Forget all of the obvious red flags for a moment. My question is this - it sounds like they are basically buying the debt the same way a collections agency would. Is this correct?
