About debt relief programs

  • Results vary by individual. We do not guarantee that any debt will be settled or reduced by a specific amount.
  • Not all debts are eligible for enrollment, and not all clients complete their program.
  • Debt relief programs do not assume your debts or make monthly payments to creditors on your behalf.
  • Not paying creditors during a program can lower your credit score, and creditors may charge late fees, continue collection activity, or file lawsuits.
  • Forgiven debt may be considered taxable income. Consult a tax professional.
  • Fees are not charged until at least one debt has been settled and you have made at least one payment under that settlement.
  • Programs are not available in all states.
