You may be asked to make a contribution on the name that they are non-profit organizations. These debt consolidation companies are most likely unscrupulous. Always remember that if the debt consolidation company advertises about free debt consolidation services, you should not be asked to make any kind of payment as a service charge to them. If they ask for such payment, you must hear the bell.
