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 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.

We had a very bad experience with… We had a very bad experience with United Debt Counselors. Wasted our money & ultimately in the end, we paid back every penny we originally owed to our creditor plus the money we had to spend to have UDC charge us; would not recommend under any circumstances!!!

Did exactly what I was told they would… Did exactly what I was told they would do - terrific firm ONLY downside there were several negation counselors changed during the three years of dealing with my account. I feel that should have been made much smoother and perhaps cost me 6- 8 months

Am feeling so much better now that all… Am feeling so much better now that all my credit card debt is paid off and I no longer have to be concerned about monthly payments. The service I received was more than outstanding - it was awesome. The service agents I worked with were so knowledgeable and personable they made the process almost enjoyable. I would recommend this service to all.
