When you say debt consolidating companies..you are talking about either a credit counseling agency or a debt settlement company - there is another one - debt negotiating company ( I'm not sure if it's different from debt settlement). And I agree, they do work ... but that would depend on several factors.

consolidating debt companies, are they any good? -- that depends, and here's a guideline for you, if you're looking for one -- For Credit Counseling Agencies (according to the BBB): -Before you select a credit counseling agency ask for information on the following: ::: -Are the agency services confidential? ::: -Will they devise a plan tailored to fit your needs? ::: -Are the counselors certified? ::: -Are budget and credit education opportunities offered? ::: -Will your funds be protected? How? ::: -Is the agency accredited? ::: -Aside from BBB membership (www.bbb.org) the consumer should also check its affiliation with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling http://www.nfcc.org.
