Credit Relief Act. Are You Eligible? Appears Intended to Deceive Innocent Consumers.

Table of Contents

I discovered an advertisement for a site called Credit Relief Act (creditreliefact.com) that appears, in my opinion, designed to intentionally confuse and mislead consumers into thinking there is a government program to reduce debt.

The advertisement I saw said: Obama Credit Bailout Plan See if You Qualify for the Obama Credit Reform Bailout Plan See Now.

The site does mention it is not a government program but only in lighter text in the fine print and one short sentence on the FAQ page. Unless you went hunting for that information it would be easy to overlook.

Credit Relief Act Web Site

The Fine Print

The fine print on the bottom of the site gives us the most information about what this site is all about. On the site the text is in a lighter color and all jammed together. Let me break it apart for you to make it clearer.

It appears to me that this site is a lead generating site primarily for debt settlement companies. I came to that conclusion based on the content on the ‘Program’ page. On that page it says that debt can be reduced by up to 70% and monthly payments are reduced. Outside of debt settlement, bankruptcy would be the only other tool able to accomplish those results.

I did get a chuckle out of the solution, take advantage of the credit card companies and get credit relief.
