How do debt negotiation companies make money?

The dumb answer is debt negotiation companies make money by settling debts. A good firm will make a percentage of what they save you rather than a flat fee. The savings rate percentage can be anywhere from 15-25 percent of what they save you. I like that they have an incentive like this. The more they save you, the more money they make. This way you know that they will do their best to negotiate a good deal for you. Most firms charge you an up front fee which can be paid over a period of a few months. Most companies realize that you are having a hardship, this is the business that they are in. Typically you can be in a program up to 36 months that will have you totally out of debt.
