There are many ways you can go about discovering if a company is legitimate.  The internet is a great place to begin your research of the different companies.  Search for consumer reviews and testimonials about the specific company or service you are interested in signing up for.  It is also a good idea to check the Federal Trade Commission or FTC website for more information about the company or service you choose.  The FTC governs the credit industry so they will have good and bad information about the different companies that are out there.  Choose wisely because if something sounds too good to be true, many times it is and you end up not getting the help you really need.
