Services and Consultants
In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission and individual states license and regulate debt negotiators and other consultants who, for a fee, advise borrowers and negotiate loan modifications with creditors on the borrower's behalf.

The federal government sanctions and recommends borrowers use Licensed Real Estate Agents, because the bank will pay commissions and closing costs.
