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.

GBDon’t do it! We used this company in good faith to try to help us. We were constantly having to call them, never could get in touch with the person that was supposed to be helping us. Then when we were finally what we thought were finished with everything, over a year later we still had companies coming to us for monies. Everything that companies wrote off had to be claimed on income taxes leaving us in almost as much debt with the IRS.

GBWorst organisation to call into your… Worst organisation to call into your life for help!! All they care is their own fee collection- after two years being with this program, paying them up to five hundred dollars every month I find out that I have none of the credits paid off!!! Calling them first hand was biggest mistake, and recommending them to others make a me feel guilty very much!!!!

GBPoor customer service I started the process some 3 months ago but I have not been given any feedback on progress made so far.I have sent out emails but with no response. They collected upfront instalments for ,2 month and I don't know where the money is sitting right now because I can't log into my account.An update would help and just keeping clients in the loop until the final process is completed.

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.
