GBI had a similar experience to others in… I had a similar experience to others in receiving a PINK letter and copy implying they are a debt collector and warning in highlighted letters about "failure to call." They list a plethora of credit cards at the top of the page hoping to cover all possibilities (I have never had most of those cards). My guess is that they send this out in hopes of intimidating the recipient, and subsequently extorting payments from them regardless if there is a valid debt. If you receive one of these letters, you should complain about it to the consumerfinance.gov.

GBWhen we signed up we were 25,000 in… When we signed up we were 25,000 in debt. A relocation and job change create very difficult financial burden on our family. We were able to combine in the program 4 creditors. They were out legal spokesmen for the settling the debt. In just 4 years we are now debt free and our credit score has rebounded to excellent. Highly recommended.

I received the letter from the debt lawyer and am trying to figure out who to send it to to have the delinquency removed from my credit. It is having major effects on my credit.

GBExcellent Excellent. During our three year term with United debt counselors they called us regularly asked if we had any questions did we understand everything told us what was being paid how much we had savings and they couldn’t have been more helpful

GBSave your money and negotiate your… Save your money and negotiate your credit card settlements yourself. I started this program with $37,000 in debt. They promised that I would settle for 40-50% of my debt. By the time I paid all the fees to United Debt Counselors and then settled all my credit cards, it ended up costing me $34,000. These companies would have easily negotiated directly with me for a measly $3,000 savings and I could have saved my credit by doing it sooner instead of being forced to allow my cards to go into default after beginning the program. This was a rip off and I would not recommend it to anyone.
