I had great counselors. I had great counselors. They worked hard to negotiate for me and when they were unable to get it done they moved my case to a higher level witnout even me having to ask them to do that. Professional staff and they know their stuff. I would recommend your organization all day long.

I 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.

Save 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.

I am very unhappy I am very unhappy. UDC only accomplished what I could have done on my own; settled with the creditor. I was promised credit report correction for my $2300. The creditor has chosen to keep the charge off as part of the record until it would fall off anyway. I was promised by UDC copies of letters from the creditor promising correction and they were never sent. UDC is a scam.

Don’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.
