They basically pay you commission for every person you get to use their service.
Has anybody done this, can you earn good money? |

I recall that the BBC Radio 4 consumer programme You and Yours took a look at these 'debt removal' companies a while back.
They were trying to exploit what they thought was a loophole in the law in the wording on credit agreements.
The programme brought in legal advisers and basically said it was nonsense and that people should avoid these companies.
I believe that legislation is now on the way to close down these debt removal scammers permanently.
If you were to contact You and Yours via the BBC website, they may be able to tell you if the programme is still available online or as a transcript.

In my experience
any job where you only get paid commission
tends to be bloomin hard work
yes you MAY be able to earn good money
but the people who do make good money
tend
a) to be in the minority
b) to compromise their integrity
c) sometimes outright have to lie
with commission jobs you tend to be under a
GREAT deal of pressure to hit targets
while it may work for some
it may not work for you
Do your own due diligance through google and other websites
be careful of people promoting it
as they may not YOUR best interests at heart
good luck stay safe |

| ask the company if you can speak with some of the current reps, that way you can find out what it's really like. a decent company will let you speak with several. |
