I was scammed by a broker and stolen… I was scammed by a broker and stolen over a million dollars in 2021. This was my lifetime work. A small portion of which was debt, $140,000 from creditors. I borrowed money from four creditors and some from colleagues. After losing all the capital, what I got is debt. I was planning to file bankruptcy, however, an attorney said that I am not qualified to do so since my income was/is over $80,000. The only option I got was debt settlement. I did a study to find out which debt settlement corp is the best without getting a scam again. Then, I met Ben Tejes at Ascend. Everything was done over text, emails, and calls without meeting in person due to covid. However, I was very anxious putting another money into a third-party accout. After 6 months working with him, we just got one deal discounted 50%, this was incredibly good news. Of course, my credit went down significantly aftermath. Now we are working on another debt, which is about $50,000 from Figure lending. My opinion about Ascend and service from Ben Trjes have been incredibly great! Highly recommended.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going I reached out to Ascend to discuss bankruptcy options. Through their online site, they arranged for a bankruptcy attorney in my state, to contact me. While, I had a productive discussion with the local law firm, the person I spoke with was at a loss on how to proceed, as it was obvious that filing bankruptcy wasn't in my best interest, as I have significant equity in my home, which I didn't want to forfeit in the bankruptcy process. So the initial meeting really didn't produce any suitable alternatives. Within a day after my initial meeting, I received an email from Ben at Ascend, to confirm that I had spoken with an attorney that they referred, as well as my opinion on the results of the meeting. We exchanged several emails where I was able to describe the unusual, perhaps unique situation I was facing, and I expected these emails not to produce any positive direction forward. However, I was completely wrong about that. Rather than giving me the "sorry, not much I can do for you" story that I had received from 3 previous lawyers, that is when Ben's determination to produce a potential positive result for me, kicked into gear. I am currently following Ben's suggestions and hope to have positive results within the next couple weeks, which will allow me to avoid filing either Chapter 7 or 13!!!!! There's something admirable and motivating when having a discussion with someone who digs deeper, when the obvious solutions aren't the best methods. In my opinion, this is the sign of a true professional. While the words "No" and "Sorry" are easy answers to give in a difficult situation, a professional lawyer only gets motivated at the point where others are ready to bail.

Help when needed I called to obtain information on options for assistance with my financial problems. I spoke with Ben .He was informative and caring.I felt better after speaking with him.
