Country Wide Debt Relief proved that they are legit by being very honest and transparent through every step. I received emails and calls every time there are updates or changes.

Lets be honest, no one wants to be here writing a review for a debt relief company, right? But, I…read morewill be honest, I got myself into some big trouble with debt, unfortunately. I started to panic, and I did some research here on Yelp, and I landed myself in the lap of First Choice. I contacted them, and got to work on trying to figure out what to do with my situation. I wanted to avoid bankruptcy for multiple reasons, however I didnt know how I was going to make a huge payment every month to get myself out of debt. The number given to me for a monthly payment knocked the wind out of me. I had a HUGE amount of debt. I couldnt even make all of my monthly payments, what I was paying on my cards, was just being put right back on in finance charges. It was so overwhelming. I decided I had no other choice, and I went and got a second job, and eventually cancelled items like my Disneyland pass, and other items to be able to make one payment to First Choice. It hasnt been easy, but they were extremely easy to work with. They negotiated with my creditors, and as part of their program and your payment to them, you also have legal representation for advice and other items. I will leave a separate review for Veritas Legal however they were amazing to work with as well, including having me keep track of phone calls from creditors, and calling them to tell them to stop calling me, and tracking when they dont, and going after them if they violate the law and continue to call, resulting in some debt possibly being forgiven. I was offered a loan through a partner of First Choice, that I accepted. This resulted in all of my debt being settled and paid off, and I now am paying back the loan, at a slightly lower monthly payment as when I originally signed up. I have probably 3 1/2 more years to pay all of this off, but I am so grateful to have worked with them to get my life back in order. They were so very helpful from the very beginning through the very end of the loan company taking over. The only thing that caught me off guard was receiving 1099-C forms. I was not expecting this, and had to amend my tax return and am still waiting to see if I will owe money on these. That can take up to 6 months... and it sounds like if the IRS forgives the money owed, you will just not get a response from them. Very stressful and once 2020 is over, I will be happy to know where I stand on that matter. I recommend this company, just know there is a LOT of work that goes into taking care of debt, and you will have to put a lot into it, but this is the place to do it with. They will guide you every step and answer all of your questions. Good luck!!!

I was drowning in debt and Pacific Associates saved me. I am so thankful to the company…read more I was young, was never educated about credit and loans and found myself in about $30,000 of credit card debt and loans. I was working, but definitely not enough to keep up with all the payments and interests that accrued, it seemed like I would never get out of debt. Then I found pacific associates, read a lot of reviews about them because of course I was skeptical. I contacted them and Roger and Shain answered every question I had. I signed up for the program and Roger was very good and prompt at answering my emails with any concerns I had. They really work with you to make sure you get out of debt. This month was my last payment and I can proudly say I am debt free and feels AMAZING!! Thank you guys so much for helping me.

This might be the most important review I ever write. If you're reading this, like you, I searched…read moregoogle and then went to Yelp, as I always do. If you're reading this, I want you to pause and truly absorb this review, because I was in your exact position not long ago. If you're grappling with student loan debt, particularly if your wages are being garnished or about to be, I understand how overwhelming and stressful it can be. It can make you feel trapped and unable to move forward. I personally experienced this firsthand, as I had been dealing with a garnishment for years and had accumulated a staggering $368,000 in student loan debt from a community college and a bachelors, that included accumulated interest. A never ending nightmare. Once a wage garnishment finished, another garnishment for student loan would start. It was endless. However, it's important to recognize that there are solutions available, and seeking the right assistance can significantly transform your situation if you're being garnished or about to be. Christopher Peters provided me with the guidance and support I needed, and his impact on my life is profound. I transitioned from feeling powerless and helpless due to the garnishment to finally having a clear plan and a sense of peace of mind. It wasn't an overnight process by all means, but taking that initial step made all the difference. It took me over a decade to make that call, but I did it. I only wish I had taken action sooner, as many of us do when we find relief. It's just I let the hopeless feeling take over thinking nothing could be done and this was to be expected. I'm glad I took the chance and called the firm. I'm now on a structured payment plan with my student loans and not being garnished. A BIG win for me!! If you're struggling with student loan debt, with a garnishment on your earned wages, don't ignore it or assume that you're out of options if you're being garnished. Don't wait! They may be able to fight for you. Remember , the right guidance can help you stop the bleeding and begin the process of rebuilding your financial life if you're in garnishment. Fullman Firm assisted me in my fight, as their help truly changed everything in my situation. I hope they can change yours.

I would like to share my story on how I became a client of Financial Relief Law Center…read more It all starts with that lovely experience we all endured called COVID. Back in 2019, things were a mess, the job was dodgy, took some risks to hedge some financial situations, oh and I was planning on getting married in Spring of 2020. Well guess what? Things went from bad to worst and bankruptcy was the only path left to gain any kind of control. My fiancé was devastated, we had to call off the wedding, not to mention COVID did anything to help... So with that in mind and the love of my wife now (happily married by the way), we had to find a solution. My wife, through a recommendation, was told to look into Financial Relief Law Center. Tears in her eyes, with the recommendation in her hand, hands it over to me saying, 'You've Got to Get This Done for Our Future'... Being in complete financial distress is a horrible experience, one I never care to go through again. Having creditors & the government coming at you is no fun. Talk about anxiety, it was rough. If anything, definitely a life lesson you will never forget. As a result of all this, I turned to the FRLC Team. I was immediately introduced, over the phone (COVID) to the calming voice of Victor Ugarte, the team's Senior Case Manager. We spoke for about an hour on what it's like to file for Bankruptcy, what to expect during the length of the case and the outcome. More importantly, explaining to me that I'm not a criminal, life happens and there's a solution to my situation. That phone call right there, literally change my life and my horizon. To me, it was obvious I had found the right team & set up a phone meeting (COVID) with Amanda Billyard, Managing Partner. Again, like the team, her tone was very calming and we proceed to go to work. Amanda took great care explaining everything, no gray areas and excellent communication throughout the case. Slowly the anxiety started to fade away and recovery was beginning to feel reachable... Well, here we are five years later, my case has been honorably discharged and great thanks goes to Amanda Billyard and her service. My wife & I will forever be grateful to Amanda Billyard and her team for their service. We give you great thanks!

I want to give my utmost gratitude to Victor and especially Andy at Financial Relief Law Center for…read moresuch an incredible experience during what felt like one of the lowest points in my life. What seemed like the end for me turned into a fresh start because of their guidance and expertise. After speaking with several firms over the course of a couple of months, I was referred to Financial Relief Law Center due to the complexity of my case. From my very first conversation with Victor, I immediately knew I was in the right hands. He was professional, understanding, and--most importantly--never once made me feel judged. His reassurance alone gave me the confidence to move forward. Once I retained them, I began working closely with Andy, who guided me every step of the way. Prior to this, I had received misinformation from other attorneys, and that stress led me to make a decision on my own without first consulting him. Despite that, Andy's expertise and dedication were able to pull me out of what felt like an endless hole. Through numerous hearings, Andy fought for my rights and remained committed to my case. In the end, he proved victorious with the final ruling, and I couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for a team that truly cares, knows what they're doing, and will stand by you through a difficult time, I highly recommend Financial Relief Law Center. Victor and Andy gave me not just legal support, but peace of mind and a second chance.

They never talked down to me or threw a bunch of confusing legal terms at me. They just told me exactly what I needed to do and guided me through everything step by step. By the time my court meeting over Zoom came around, I felt completely prepared and it was over way faster and smoother than I expected. I highly recommend Kevin and his team at 1st California Law.

When I lost my employment, I signed up because I knew I would not be able to make my payments. I…read morethought it was the responsible thing to do. My payments are every 2 weeks - 26 payments in a year. For 3 months of the year, there would be 3 payments instead of 2. I could do it until I needed to go on disability in September. I called and asked if I could make just one payment each month. I gave them the amounts and did the basic math. Example: payments of $200 every two weeks would be $200 X 26 (weeks) = $5,200. Divide by 12 would be $433.33 each month. They said they would get back to me within 5-7 business days. When I was not called back, I called. Just before all this started, they had called and asked if I could increase my payments because of a settlement offer I would need to pay an extra $35. I had said no. When I called back, they wanted me to pay a little under $40 extra. I said no. No calls, no emails, no nothing. I sent messages, called, said I would be suspending payments. Still nothing. I called my bank and suspended the payments, well in advance. The day the payment was to come out, I got a call and an email. Too late. The excuse I kept getting was, "We don't pay by the year". No duh. Not one of the employees could do basic math.

I would recommend to communicate with him more than you think is reasonable just to get updates, discuss strategy and to figure out what will happen. Often times, when we are low on money is when we need a service like what Chris provides. And that's also when emotions will run high. So please communicate with him often to not only manage your emotions but also to chime into logic. Definitely would recommend Chris and Speedy Credit Repair.

I urge everyone to please do NOT go through with Speedy Credit Repair…read more They are scammers. Do not believe the fake reviews. We enrolled with them for 6 months. We understand coming into this it's a possibly our credit issue may not be fixed. We know this will take time. But one thing this company lacks is integrity. They are not true to their word. If you say something such as "I will call you back", please carry out your promise. All I asked for was communication. During this entire process, I only spoke with Chris 2 times. I called, no one answered I texted, no one answered You email Chris, no response He has an assistant Laurie who will respond to emails. She mentioned in my last email " Yes, Chris knows you are expecting a call" guess what? He never called me back!!! Chris said he will contact his lawyer associate and stated " I will call you back and give you an update" guess what? He never called back. They have you enrolled in a credit monitoring program which you have an additional fee. They probably get some sort of incentive. I can go on and on... there's has been so many occasions. Honestly, don't waste your time and money!!!!!!
