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!!!

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.

The UDS counselors failed to inform me… The UDS counselors failed to inform me that even though the debts re renegotiated, the negative debt information stays on one’s credit report. Additionally, they are poorly equipped to help a costumer figure out what to do about it and would not help get the information removed from one’s credit report. Would not recommend this service to anyone.
