I had Cambridge Credit Counseling a few years back and it was because I wanted to consolidate bills to get them paid off. Working with the Cambridge team has been good and they were able to lower my interest rate.

I had a lot of debts and they just seemed to be getting on top of us and we couldn’t keep up with them. In fact, they were putting in an interest of 30% on all of them. I decided to connect with Cambridge Credit Counseling, and they were able to put the interest rates down to between 6 and 11%. Working with them took all my money for 5 years, but it has made my lifestyle a lot better. We got our debts paid off and we feel wonderful about that. The people at Cambridge were always very pleasant to talk to, informative and helpful. They contacted us on several occasions just to make sure everything was going all right. I appreciate that someone was really interested in you. That was good personal contact. Cambridge Credit Counseling changed my life.

I worked with Cambridge to get a lower interest rate so I could pay my credit card faster and they did lower my interest rates. I had money; it's just the interest rate was so high it was ridiculous, so it has helped me to pay it off faster. They were extremely helpful.

Based on the information I found online about Cambridge Credit Counseling and speaking with the counselors there, I thought that they were the best opportunity to help us get out of our credit card debts. Over the years that we did work with them, I spoke with them a few times a year and they were always very helpful. We've been able to get out of credit card debts and we're doing well now. They did a great job for us. Excellent!

I had excessive credit card debt and Cambridge lowered my interest rates and got me on the payment plan. I've been with them for four years and they've greatly improved my lifestyle. It was all a great experience. It was hard, but that was my issue because I got myself in this predicament. It was not an easy fix but it was excellent working with them. They helped me get things in order.

I was in the Cambridge program twice and I'm done. It was good. Financially, it was easier for me to manage the situation I had gotten myself into. It wasn't very often that I had to call them - when I was set up, like the whole time I just made my payments. I didn't have to do too much but make my payments, and those were automatic. It helped me pass those accounts and I could still have money to live on and it was doable. Once in a while I did call in to change my payments by a day or two. They always helped and answered my questions.

We've used Cambridge before when we lived up in New York. This time we did it to consolidate our debt and to pay it off. The initial guy kept emailing us and took care of the paperwork and everything, until I was able to really have no interaction with anyone. We have no more credit cards to pay off now. The experience with them was exceptional.

Four years ago I contacted Cambridge for credit counseling. I heard about them from a friend who was going through the process at the same time. When we were first getting it set up, the gentleman that helped me was Sam. He was wonderful. He used a lot of empathy when he talked to me. He was very understanding and he did everything to get me on the right track. It was a great experience. It was something that I’m glad I got involved with. I finished the program and all my debts are paid and I’m set free. I learned a valuable lesson not to go down that route again.

I had lost my job after twenty-one years and my salary dipped to one-third of my salary. I didn't have the income to be able to make the payments on the credit cards that I was keeping and Cambridge was able to lower my interest rates and they were very professional. The guy I spoke to took all of my information and tried to give me the lowest payment plan possible, which was actually higher than what I could afford. I was able to gradually earn enough money so I was able to keep up with the payments consistently.
It's nice to be completely clear of my credit card debt. It was very helpful and comforting to know that I had a plan to take care of all of my debt, and they were willing to work with me as far as when the payments would be taken. I love the feeling of not having the monthly payments or having to pay the interest. Over time, it really doesn't matter how much money you have, whether you have a lot or a little, it's a question of managing it. Sometimes I don't feel that different from when I made three times my salary. It was a good lesson in that I could have a quality of life on a lower income. Cambridge referred me to another step, which is to help me do a better job planning my next goals.

I had a very good experience with Cambridge. I wanted to get my finances in order and they had a good reputation so I went ahead and contacted them. They were very thorough and very informative. They spent a lot of time on the phone with me several times. I talked mainly with the manager on several occasions and some other people, but everyone was very nice. They were very professional. Everything went well. I got my finances in order. Payments were made every month and everything was cleared up.
I'm putting money in the bank now, and our accounts are built up quite a bit, and we're handling paying our bills on time. My credit score is way up. We didn't have that credit score when I went with Cambridge but we have a very good credit score now, and we're very happy.

I sat down and talked to a family life pastor in our church about my burden on getting out of debt. He recommended that I try Cambridge Credit. I was looking for someone, a company that was reputable, that had good references, so once I heard about Cambridge Credit, I gave them a call. Eventually I was able to get rid of over $30,000 worth of debt, and now I am credit card debt-free.
If I didn’t have that type of an outlet or type of place that I could sit down with and sort through my debts and look at it from a different perspective and the fact that I could be debt-free in 4 ½ years and just help me work through that process, I think I’d still be where I was 4 years ago. I’m glad that there’s a place I could go and that was reputable that I didn’t have to worry about pouring all this money into and then at the end of the day losing all that money and be where I first started. Cambridge did what they said they were gonna do and they were great in the follow-up. I received emails from them every month. They let me know what the balance was that had been paid and how much was paid. I got emails from them letting me know the different products that they had available, videos that I could watch, information about mortgage rates and credit card information, etc. They also emailed me a couple of times just to do a checkup type of thing, where they asked me some questions about where I was in the journey of getting debt-free. I would recommend it to other people who are in the same boat that I was in to check them out.

A friend told me about Cambridge Credit Counseling. Since I wanted to consolidate my bills, I contacted them. It took me about 4 years to pay off my debts, I had to tear up all my credit cards, but I got them paid off. They were able to lower my interest rate and they were real good to me. When my husband passed away, I called them, and they took his name off of it. Aside from that there are several things I was really impressed with them about. (1) They never bothered me unless they need to, and they check on me once in a while. (2) They give my reports to me on time and I very seldom had to call them. If I call them they would always call me back and give me what I needed to know. (3) I had skipped one time and they were very understanding and I sent the money to them.
I’m more aware now of my spending and I hope I never get into that position again, but if I did, I would use them again.

I tried to contact the credit card people and got absolutely nowhere. Me and wife we were not in a bad situation, we were making plenty of money. It's just that we weren't able to pay down our debts and had to do something. So when I heard about Cambridge Credit Counseling on the radio, I got on the website, checked it out, and the rest is history.
Talking to the Cambridge reps gave me confidence that it was gonna be taken care of in the correct way. Working with them was a good thing, but it's hard to come to reality to really go and do that. It’s like baring your soul to somebody that you don’t even know. Believe it or not, it was a pretty painful thing and we were making two house payments a month - that’s what it literally boiled down to, so it forced us to watch everything we do. Nonetheless it was a life-changing experience! It was more than a great experience! They helped lower our interest rates and did a lot more. We were at 27-28% and they got it all the way down to 14%. We did not have a lot of extra money and all of a sudden we got an extra $900 laying around. We got a few hospital bills that needed to be taken care of, which in another month or two, they will be. There’s so much pressure or weight off our shoulders.

A national well-known financial person highly recommended Cambridge and he said, "If you need help, these are the people to call." Based on my experience with the company, I would also highly recommend it to anyone that is in a situation we were. It has been really wonderful. When I had questions or needed assistance, whether it was through the phone or via email, I always got a reply and assistance.
We've learned a great deal now about how to be responsible, so much so we're about to open our own business. (A business loan has been granted to us and we're about to begin a new phase in our lives. It has been awesome.) It's been hard but we have learned to manage with what we have, and when we don't have, we don't get it. No more going into debt. We don’t use credit card anymore just for the sake of using credit card, almost never.

I've never been sorry that I contacted Cambridge Credit Counseling. It seemed like a long haul but I know it would have been ten times longer if I didn't have it.

It was nice to know that the bill was taken care of every month and there was some light at the end of the tunnel.

We were pretty much putting out payments that altogether were quite high and we were at the end of our spending limit and couldn't make any headway because of that. It was just crazy. So I looked for any kind of counseling that worked in a religious way, according to what the bible said and found Cambridge Credit Counseling.
Our experience with Cambridge was easy, pain-free – because it was already taken out of our account. It took some time to get it taken care of but that was because of our fault. But other than that, it was enjoyable and everything pretty much worked like clockwork. And in the beginning, the freedom to know that those bills are still getting paid and you know that it’s not gonna take every penny and you’ve got to do that... it gave us a little bit of freedom to go ahead and start putting some money in savings every month right then, right away.
We do not let ourselves get that extended anymore now. We put something in savings every month, every paycheck actually – or try to. Sometimes it’s every other paycheck but we do something every month for the savings. We've been able to have little more free money now and repair things around the house that we wanted to do.

I had several credit cards that were pretty high in interest rates, which I’ve used up to the max. And I was getting to an age where I need to get rid of my debt and start saving some money for my retirement. So I thought, “Well, it’s time to take care of this problem.” I thought of Cambridge Credit Counseling because, years ago, I worked in the same building in Agawam, MA, that Cambridge was in. I recalled it as being a good company to go to because one of my co-workers had used Cambridge. So I decided, “Well, let me give it a shot.”
There were a lot of interactions at first with the credit counseling team, but once I had everything up and running, there was no reason to anymore. I’m now debt free with all those cards and I’ve got that extra money being saved now, which is great. Rather than throwing it back in my regular checkbook, I’m saving the money that I was putting towards those cards. I definitely have less stress. I’ve had a great experience with Cambridge. It got me to where I wanted to be in a few years and I’m very happy.

I was having some financial difficulties and researched online. I saw the Cambridge Credit Counseling ratings and that's when I called them. I've had a lot of debt left over from the divorce that I couldn't financially afford to pay so I got involved with Cambridge to help me get this stuff paid off. They were extremely helpful. It made me realize in the process of setting it up of a bill that I had forgotten about because they had gone ahead and pulled my credit history. They were extremely helpful in putting all of my ducks in a row - what I owed. I told them what I could afford to pay and they put it all together based on that information. I've been unemployed and they have been wonderful to work with when I called and they've worked with me when I run into situations and I was going to have difficulty making a payment or two. They were fabulous. I would highly recommend them to anybody that I know that's having financial difficulty and needs to get out from under credit card debt.

I used Cambridge Credit Counseling a few years back. I found out about them when I went online looking for credit consolidation services and said, “I’ll give it a try.” I wanted to get rid of the debt that I knew I was never going to pay off. It was just overwhelming, different things throughout the years of getting jobs and starting over. I didn’t have to interact too much with the counseling team. Once in a while, they’d call me and ask me to fax in a statement or document, but they were always pleasant, professional. If I ever had a question or needed to call or had any issue, they would always resolve it. I never had a problem with them.
So far, they were able to lower my interest rates and get me out of the great debt that I had. It’s manageable now, and I’m not overwhelmed as much anymore. If I had to do credit counseling again, I’d do it with the same company. I’d recommend them to other people.
Dear Morris,
Thank you so much for your review of our agency. It is our goal, here at Cambridge, to make every consumer feel comfortable, relaxed, and that their finances are in good hands. We are so pleased this came across to you.
By “giving us a try,” you allowed yourself to take the first step towards financial freedom, and that is something to be very proud of. Many adults are struggling in the effects of the economic downfall in recent years and it’s important that people don’t give up and let their debt drown them.
Congratulations on your success in the program! We wish you all the best!

This was going back four and a half to five years now. Our credit card company had doubled or two and a half times the monthly payment that we were supposed to make and that put us in a panic. And that's why we signed up with Cambridge. I spoke with a lady rep two or three times on the phone and I had emails with also. They were able to lower the interest rate and we paid off all the credit cards. There were a couple of times when I got notices via email, like something about the crystal X report and I tried to respond. I sent some email reply and I didn't hear back from anybody. And it wasn't an urgent matter. So aside from that, I would say it was a very good program and helped us live within a budget.

I was looking for a place to consolidate my credit cards. It was at the time when all the credit cards jacked their prices up and increased their interest rates like 10%. I just couldn't afford my credit cards anymore. I heard about Cambridge Credit Counseling on the local radio station and I went online. So I called them up and they got me a lower rate. Four and a half years later, I’m credit card free. It would have taken me over 20 years to pay my credit cards off at the rate I was going.
Everything was great with the Cambridge team. I was very satisfied. I've recommended it to a couple of my friends. The best thing they do is how much they can get off the credit card for you. They lower my one interest rate by I think 6 points. So that was a lot back then. What I liked about Cambridge is that they kept you informed. They try to give you all their financial help and how to cut back on things. They stay with you the whole time. I had to call a couple questions, find out how many payments and they're informative. That was the only thing that I wish they would have been more precise on - how many you had left.

One of my girlfriends told me about Cambridge. I did previously get a consolidation loan and I didn't really want to do that again. I wanted to go deal with the creditors and stop using the cards basically. With Cambridge, it’s all automated. It’s a monthly prearranged debit out of my account so I don’t have to talk to people very often about it. And it’s nice that they got the interest rates lowered on all the cards. It takes away some of my stuff I have to do.
The couple of times I've had interactions with them, it was a little frustrating. I had a baby and I needed to skip a payment one time. The way they explained it was that it was no big deal and they would contact the creditors. We would skip a month and they would explain and we would get back to it. I started getting calls from all the creditors two weeks after we skipped the payment from two of the creditors. And the thing was there were maybe four or six creditors left on the plan. And they said, “Well these two, you have to pay, and the rest, they’ll let us skip...” It was incorrect information and I got calls from them nonstop. Other than that, it was easy. The plan itself has been helpful and wonderful to get out of debt faster.

I was watching TV and Dave Ramsey recommended Cambridge Credit Counseling on a show where he was talking about money and how all others were rip-offs and they were recommended to be an honest one. I needed a way to get my credit cards paid off. Everybody was always helpful. Anytime I had a question, they answered the question. They didn't sugar-coat anything; basically they told you like it is. Working with them got me out of debt and made things a lot easier and I sleep a lot better. The best thing was they got me down to a reasonable interest rate. I'm very happy.

I first heard about Cambridge Credit Counseling on the radio. I connected with Cambridge because I was just looking at paying off some of my revolving debt. My interactions with their team were great. They were pretty friendly and knew what they were talking about. Working with them was really good. For four and a half years, I've been off $50,000. They definitely were able to consolidate and lower the interest rates for me and deal with the credit cards that I had and were able to put together a complete program for me to be able to pay off my debt.

I had more debt than I was happy with which I was managing except that because they were changing the law, they all bounced their interest rates all up to somewhere in the 20s. I was thinking that even though I was paying more than minimum payment, I was never going to get done. I was chatting with someone who said that their sister had done a debt management program and I looked it up online and read about which ones to use and how to look at them and did some research and chose Cambridge Credit Counseling.
I had very little interactions with them. There was one problem and that was because I had contacted them when the first debt was finished and asked them to apply that to the highest interest rate one and that did not happen. I would just check each month that the money had gone on in. I'd get the statement back and file it and I didn't look 'til quite a bit later and realized that that's not what they were doing. They were applying it to other ones. I did contact someone at that point. We figured out how I wanted it handled and it was taken care of. They were able to lower the interest on everything but this one that was very high, and that's why I wanted it paid off first and any extra to go towards it. Cambridge did what it needed to do and I was able to pay everything off in four years. It helped me to take care of the issue and get things squared away because they lowered the interest rate so that what I was paying was going a lot more towards principal and interest.

I know our interest rate on our credit card was so high and we were trying to get it lowered. It has fallen behind and we needed help. Working with Cambridge Credit Counseling has made it less stressful to deal with the creditor. It was very helpful, it solved our problem at the time, helped us lower our interest rate on our credit card and helped us get it paid off. It was nice. It was automatically deducted; we didn't have to think about it.

I was stressed, and a friend of mine was extolling Cambridge’s virtues so I tried them directly. The credit counselor and I stayed in touch by e-mail. I got a check in at least twice a year. One would call at least once or twice a year just to make sure everything was the same, nothing's changed, or I needed to upgrade or do anything. They follow through. I've made some other calls to some other places and I've had to do the follow-up myself to get answers. If I ever called and left a message, I send them an e-mail and I've always gotten a response. That was very much appreciated. Other than that, I ended up getting divorced and having to take some of the accounts off the program. They were helpful, were able to lower the interest rate of my credit card and now I am debt free. I don't have the credit cards anymore. I finished paying for them in February or March, so I'm good.

I'd heard about Cambridge Credit Counseling online and what interested me most about them was how they help people get out of credit card debt. And since I had excessive credit card debt and I wanted to lower it, I decided to connect with them. At the beginning, it was quite expensive, with lots of phone calls and whatnot. Afterwards they would send you a monthly statement about what was paid. Then they would contact you probably 3 or 4 times a year to see how you're doing, and you do that over the phone. They'd also give you online surveys as well concerning any situations you may have. They were quite helpful and provided lots of paperwork, educational information type of thing -- they had other resources through them, like their website they have for budgeting.
Working with Cambridge got us out of our credit card debt, which we're still out of. They lowered our interest rate considerably. Beside the fact that I have a lot more money, my credit rating is extremely good right now and now I'm able to basically pay for things with cash. It was a very excellent experience. I was extremely pleased with them.

At first I talked with my certified credit counselor at Cambridge several times. His name was Dan ** and I would really give him a lot of praise. He was wonderful. But then after that, I just made my payments. There wasn't anything to talk about that much because I was chipping away at that debt I was trying to pay off. We didn't need to discuss anything but they sent emails and things that were helpful. They lowered my interest rate and it was wonderful. Now that I've got my debt paid off, I don't need them anymore. They helped me a lot. I probably would have been a homeless person if they hadn't stepped in and helped me because the interest rates were going way up at that time and there was no way I could pay. There is no way I could have survived without their help. They are an excellent help and I appreciate the opportunity they are offering to people.

I went to Cambridge because I was already over-extended on all my credits so nobody would give me anymore credit or loan. Cambridge helped me look at making more wise choices with items I purchase. I just have one issue. It could be their software or whatever. When they set me up, it was based on a 12-month budget. When you get paid every other week a 12-month budget doesn't work. Because you're really on a 26-week pay period. That's the only downfall. Because it seemed like I was always trying to cram to make sure I had money on.
