Remember: Actual card and loan conditions depend on the financial institution's approved terms and contract.

An agent does not change the bank's underwriting risk

The lender still applies its own rules.

Extra fees can make the problem worse

Debt remains while service fees are added.

Protect personal data

Do not casually hand over identity or banking credentials.

Use banks or official negotiation channels first

Not unknown intermediaries.
