Jenny was in trouble with her credit card debt, and she resolved to get on the right track and avoid bankruptcy She had heard about a debt settlement service and it sounded like a good idea: the company claimed it would negotiate with her creditors and arrange for Jenny to pay off her debts with one lump sum that was as much as fifty percent less than what she owed
