the article http://www.moneysavingfreetips.com/consumer-credit-counciling.html says to be wary of ccc firms coz:

"Thus as a consumer, you have to beware! Avoid "debt settlement" firms who promise to completely get rid of your debt within months and who ask for a $3000 upfront fee. These usually turn out to be scams who upon receiving the money will run off from the country, disconnect their phones or set up a new firm under a new name."

did you have to pay any upfront fees? did they really help in lowering your interest payments?
