GBTotal Scam Total Scam. They claim to take charge, negotiate your accounts down and save you money. They contact the crediters and negotiate the amount owed down which I could have done myself but by the time they add in their fees you save little or nothing. Now the final insult. I enrolled 6 accounts. After I realised that these accounts become inactive and your credit destroyed I removed one account from the program so that I would still have an active credit account. Bare in mind that all of these accounts were up to date. I came to the program because I was about to go under. After negotiation one of the accounts was sent to litigation prior to being fully enrolled. Now four of the accounts have been paid off. The 5th has also been paid off but now I am told that I have to pay all of the litigation fees which is a very large amount so I will end paying more than I started with. As I said up front the program is a crock, preying on people that are over extended and in the end you have to rebuild your credit and move on.

GBWORST COMPANY EVER We started working with this company in 2018. We were told the same information as many of the other customers. We had good credit, we were just looking to consolidate instead of paying multiple payments to different entities each month. We then spent 2 years fighting for information, waiting as our credit tanked and hearing nothing. In 2020 we stopped hearing from Timberline, despite reaching out. As of this morning we were contacted by a different company who stated that our account was sold to them and we could settle our account for $20,000.00. Original debt was $15,000 with payments of $750 per month for two years. This is insane. How can you so terribly misrepresent yourselves, DESTROY peoples credit scores, refuse to communicate and then SELL CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS TO A CREDITOR? I have reported this company to the BBB and am seeking legal counsel. Do NOT work with this business, they may not be committing fraud or be illegal, but they are definitely not ethical.

GBFinancial Institute of this nature are a scam and should be illegal. We entered into a contract with Timberline Financial to avoid Bank Ruptcy. We agreed on the amount of money we were to pay each month to payoff 5 accounts. They said that they needed more money to payoff the accounts, so we increased the amount. I am within 6 months of completing the 4 year contract and only 3 of the 5 accounts have been cleared. This company is nothing but a scam. They associate with a Financial Institute that charges me every time they hear my name. This whole idea of helping someone get out of debt is no debt management involved. They are strictly interested in getting money at others misfortune.
At wits end
GBWaiting for over two months… I’ve been calling for over two months now to graduate out of the program, but no success. No one can give me an answer on what’s the reason for delay even after I paid the pending amount in full on 15th Nov, 2019. While the agents on the phone are courteous - they have time and again been unable to respond, always referring to the negotiations department that has so far not provided any explanation. It shouldn’t be this cumbersome to graduate out after paying the amount owed in advance.

GBAn Answer to Prayer! Timberline Financial has been an answer to prayer for my husband and I. Feeling overwhelmed by our accrued debt, the folks at Timberline have extended a LIFELINE on the road to become debt free. Their program, instruction and process has been thoroughly explained along the way. I thank God for this company! I will be eternally grateful ... Brenda
