Now they have those businesses that say you can settle for your debt for a fraction of what you owe right now.  Some seem legitimate actually.  They have their claims, and there are people who I’ve talked to who would swear by them.  But then there are others who are not so legitimate.  In fact, it’s really impossible to tell the difference between the two types, it’s hit and miss in a way.  But the simple fact is that when you call these companies, you take a risk.  After all, realistically speaking, the credit card companies don’t want to let you pay just a fraction of what you owe.  Yes, they get more out of you in a shorter time, but ultimately they still lose money.  That’s a big part of it.  Now if they sue you, you may be able to settle out of court for a smaller sum.  But outside of that, they aren’t going to be willing participants.  Most of these companies just take your money that you really should be putting into paying off your actual credit card bills letting you think that you are doing something for yourself and really just putting you further into debt.  So be careful with any you run across.

In some ways, I am entirely sure that small towns actually have the best home based business on the market.  In some states, they have what is called a cumulative charge, which basically means that when you get a ticket there, if you have gotten one in the past so many years depending on the state they get to charge you more.  I hadn’t heard about this till a while ago.  But others use the definition of speed traps to not really deter speeding as much as to make actual income for the town.  I mean when I heard that one town charged somebody $500 for going 15 over in a school zone, I am not going to say I disagree with that.  You shouldn’t be speeding at all in a speed zone, let alone going 15 over, that’s ridiculous and you take a lot of risks or rather the kids do with that.  So that you deserve, and school zone speeding tickets really should be higher.  But there was another going 15 over in a regular area, actually more of a highway, and they charged $472.  The woman who got it checked with her area where she lived, a more metropolitan area, and they charged $160 for the same ticket.  So there’s a serious problem, obviously a vast difference which is ridiculous and shows that they are trying to support city government rather than to deter speeding.  And apparently, though this is an amazing money maker for them, should you run into this problem, though the cities will essentially tell you that they can charge whatever they want, it’s actually not true.  In short, you should contact your state representative.
