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!!!!!!

Before I hired this company, Mr. Chris L. gave me a call fairly quickly when I requested a free…read moreconsultation. Phone call nearly lasted an hour, explains to me his story, how everyone has slip ups with credit, how he knows how to repair credit ethically and properly. Gave me his story how he initiated his company, when I asked to proceed he asked for a $200 fee up front and after that $199 a month for 6 month contract. He also sent me documents to sign, nearly a dozen, all stating ways for him to stay covered from legal troubles and so I don't ask for a refund and it's a non refundable deposit. I was not asking for a miracle with my credit score, I was aware how I messed up my credit but I didn't know how to tackle it to get it better, Mr. Chris highly recommended not to worry that he will help me that that's why I hired him, he'll tackle these companies to try and get rid of them from my credit score, 3 months pass by and I ask for a update of how the situation is going, no response. I called and emailed his assistant Laurie, no response, when I did get a response it was for me to set up an appointment, in which I did, come to the date of? No call, no text no email. 2.5 more months passed by, I reached out again, Mr. Chris said, "I'll call you in a bit" ....... No call no text. I reached out to assistant...... no call no text no email. Come to 3 days before contract is up, $1,200 later, I ask for another update, well I never received one before but you know what i mean, Mr. Chris told me that he wants to talk to me and give me a refresh on my credit score, and discuss next steps, told him great I'm available anytime to just give me a call. Never heard from him again. In summary, did they help my credit score? No. Did they remove anything from my credit report? Yes, 2 things that were $50 each additional cost, so total price : $1,300. Before they take your money Mr. Chris is so talkative and transparent and communicative , after though? No a single word, no communication, out of the work they did, hardly any, hardly any improvement was made but that's why they send a lot of documentation for you to sign so you don't later on try and get your money back for not being satisfied.

Back in 1998, when I was trying to purchase a house, I needed help repairing and improving my credit. That's when I met an incredible team at Second Chance Financial -- John, Karen, and Wayne. From the very beginning, they treated me with kindness, honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. Thanks to their help and guidance, I was able to buy my home back in 1998. Now, 28 years later, I find myself reaching out to them again for assistance, and to my surprise and gratitude, Karen and Wayne are still there. That alone says so much about the dignity, integrity, and stability of this company. It shows not only how they value their clients, but also how they treat and respect their employees. What always made them different is that they never treated me like "just another client." Over the years, they would occasionally call simply to check on me and see how I was doing. That level of humanity and compassion is very rare today. If anyone needs honest and trustworthy help with their credit, I truly recommend Second Chance Financial. These are good people who genuinely care about helping others rebuild and move forward in life. Thank you, Karen. Thank you, Wayne. And may God bless the memory of John, who is no longer with us. Your kindness and help will never be forgotten.

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.

We retained this firm for approximately a year and a half while navigating one of the most…read moredifficult financial periods of our lives. Throughout that time, we relied on their guidance regarding bankruptcy eligibility, timing, and strategy, trusting that they would help us make informed decisions about our future. Unfortunately, our experience was defined by inconsistent information, poor communication, lack of responsiveness, and a complete absence of empathy for what our family was going through. We initially worked with Amanda and followed her guidance regarding our bankruptcy options and filing timeline. Over time, we began noticing inconsistencies in the information we were receiving regarding our Chapter 7 eligibility, how my disability income would be treated, and when we could move forward with filing. When we raised concerns about the conflicting advice, communication issues, and lack of compassion surrounding our circumstances, we never received a meaningful response. Instead, our case was eventually transferred to another attorney, Rich, leaving us feeling unheard and without any accountability for the concerns we had raised. Unfortunately, once our case was transferred, the communication problems continued. Emails often went unanswered, follow-up was frequently required just to obtain basic updates, and responses were often delayed despite the urgency of our situation. We were dealing with job loss, disability, mounting financial hardship, and ultimately the loss of our home. During a time when we needed guidance and support, we often felt like just another file rather than valued clients who had been on retainer for well over a year. What is most disappointing is that after working with this firm for such an extended period of time and being in regular communication about our financial circumstances, important issues affecting our bankruptcy strategy were not addressed until it was too late. As a result, we lost the opportunity to take actions that may have allowed us to preserve more than $8,000 that would have made a significant difference for our family during an already devastating financial crisis. No attorney can guarantee a particular outcome, and we understand that bankruptcy law can be complex. However, clients deserve accurate information, consistent guidance, timely communication, accountability, and genuine concern for the impact these decisions have on their lives. In our experience, this firm failed to provide those things. After a year and a half of waiting, uncertainty, conflicting information, and feeling ignored when we expressed concerns, we cannot recommend this firm to others facing serious financial hardship.

One of the first things I said was that I could not consider debt consolidation. Today, that's all Howard spoke about and furthermore, the FICO was some 50+ points lower than what Experian shows.

So much for pre-screened offers that provide a wish to get some needed home repairs done and bills paid.

Most of the time when you are in a situation like this, the people on the other end assume you just mishandled your finances and got into debt (that is what I would have assumed until it happened to me), but Josh was attentive.

Well he did just that and I will be forever grateful to Josh and Greenlink for your support during this financially difficult time.

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!!!
