How do these elimination scams actually work? First, there is usually a hefty fee associated with these debt elimination services.

They make this sound like it is a perfectly good option and make you think that it is the right way to handle your debt. The problem is that these companies are giving aren't making good on their promise to deliver. They cannot possibly eliminate all of your credit card debt completely. It is not possible.
There are many lines that companies will use to try to con people into using them. They'll tell you that they have the power to eliminate all your debt. They'll tell you that there are ways to get out of having to pay your credit card debt. They'll even tell you how the IRS is not associated with the Federal Government and how you do not have to worry about the consequences of not paying the debt. They might say that you won't have to worry about it affecting your credit score or causing you further financial stress. These are all false, bogus claims however. You will not get anything but scammed out of more money and farther in debt by falling for these ploys that they are trying to scam you with.
It's a possibility you might have the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act laws and different sections thrown at you. These ads do not ever tell you how or what those laws mean in regards to credit card debt being illegal. You can look at these laws all you want to. However, it is impossible to justify the reference to these laws due to the fact that they do not make any clear claims or give you any clear evidence about their purpose or what you can do with them. These are very common, widely used fraud scams in effect today.
People that are implementing these scams think that the people they're scamming are too lazy to look into their claims and find the falsehoods. If you can read between the lines and see through their claims, you'll find that you don't have to investigate all the laws due to the fact that these underhanded companies don't bother to tell you how the laws even apply to you.
