Payingoffdebt

There really is no such thing as a debt settlement order; there are debt relief orders which help individuals who are in debt, but there is no order which will completely settle one’s debts. There have recently been companies sending unsolicited text messages to individuals, in the UK, which are offering services of a debt settlement order. Basically the messages are telling individuals that the services can help individuals struggling with debt to have these debts eliminated.

If you have received any of these texts about a debt settlement order, it is better not to reply to them; they are unsolicited messages which you should report to your cell phone provider in order to have the messages blocked. Although this spam message being sent out about the debt settlement order is fairly new to consumers, it seems to be targeting many individuals, regardless of their financial situations, and regardless of their cell phone providers.

The Trading Standards Board in the UK have issued warnings to the general public about these debt settlement order text messages. The goal being that if enough people get the word out that this is not a legitimate offer, but is in fact a large Spam mass message, that consumers will stop replying to the message. The Trading Standards Board added that if you are an individual who receives this message, and really is struggling with debt, that it is advised to contact a reputable debt relief company, and not fall into the trap of this mass Spam messaging scheme.

There is no official debt settlement order being offered in the UK; therefore, if you do receive these unsolicited text messages, either reply STOP, to inform the messager you are not interested; or, contact your cell phone provider to have the messages blocked. Either way, if you are struggling with debt, speak to a reputable company, do not trust this text messaging scheme to solve your problems.
