Very knowledgeable and helpful. Every question was answered professionally and with care. She was able to explain in great detail giving me a good understanding on how it all works. Thank you so much. I appreciate all the help and professionalism you offer.
I am happy I discovered this company. They assisted me to consolidate my credit cards which will enable me to pay less on these cards each month with less interest. This means I can pay these bills off early & eventually increase my credit score which is my goal. The staff is very helpful answering all my questions in a way that was easy to understand. I will be able to call or email this company with any questions I might have. The staff are very kind & truly communicate.
I am very pleased with the services I have received from your company. It's all been a positive experience for the several years I've been doing business with Consolidated Credit. I received assistance today's date, 2/20/19, from your Representative named Jimmy. I needed to update information for all my merchant accounts. He was very professional and polite and extremely helpful. My questions were all answered properly and he made sure he could solve all my concerns. I thank you very much for your continued professional manner.
Brian did a good job touching base with me about the program. He went over important information and asked if I had questions. He was able to answer my questions. I am satisfied with my service. Thank you for contacting me.
The representative I spoke to, Julie, was very helpful and resolved my issue. I had called the creditor earlier in the day and after 45 minutes, I was given inaccurate information and told to call Consolidated Credit, so I did and Julie called Credit One with me on the line and was able to get the correct information, get a late fee waived, and help resolve my issue.

My experience As a consumer was wonderful. The associates were knowledgeable and friendly. I have and will continue to recommend your company to my family and friends. Keep up the great work. I am especially happy about the no prepayment penalty that your company provides.
She was great! Helped me with all my questions and made me feel comfortable with some all my concerns involving my credit cards. I was afraid that my money wasn’t going towards a couple cards. But she took her time to explain and figure out what was wrong.
We appreciate you. Customer service and client satisfaction are of the utmost importance to us. Knowing that you're satisfied with our service and the work we're doing on your behalf is very gratifying. We thank you for allowing Consolidated Credit to assist you and wish you the very best on your journey out of debt :)
Great consumer service. Nice person understand. They helped me find a new beginning. It's hard to know where to start but this program gets you on the right track. Highly recommended for a new beginning to a old problem. Thank you.
Welcome aboard Mary! Thank you for allowing Consolidated Credit to assist you. Customer service and client satisfaction are of the utmost importance to us. Knowing that you're satisfied with our service thus far is very pleasing. We appreciate you and wish you the very best on your journey out of debt :)
Brian answered the phone call promptly and cordially. He related to me throughout as a real human being, genuinely interested in what I needed and how best to meet my needs. I needed to update my revised payment plan and he handled the details for me quickly and efficiently. The connection felt personal and I did not feel rushed. I think it was the best experience I have had in dealing with any customer service rep with any company.
Resolution In Progress
We got in a financial bind. We decided to go with a debt management program. We had been talking to several different companies to make sure we made the right choice. Consolidated Credit was the worst to even talk with. We got one rep who asked us the amount of our debt and what kind of debt. Then she transferred us to someone else who asked the same questions. Then, that person transferred us to a third person who yet again asked the same questions. All of them spoke broken English.
The third person asked about our bills then started on his script. We would try to ask questions and he would blow us off and pick back up on his script. He got finished and told us we couldn't afford their program. Not sure how he came up with that, as we have been paying more than the minimum on all our credit cards. The info he had was incorrect anyways but he wouldn't let us correct it. Somehow he decided we had 4 car payments and when he emailed the budget analysis to us, there was an "additional loan" for almost $200 a month that we do not have. So we spent almost an hour on the phone trying to understand broken English for no reason whatsoever. If they can't even take the time to listen from the beginning, I surely wouldn't trust them with my debt.
Hi Sydney,
We would really love to help everyone who reaches out for help and regret that you were unable to qualify for the debt management program. Our company has been helping consumers like you for over 25 years, however, we cannot always help everyone in every situation. In your case, it sounded like our service would not be of help and as a result, we understand your desire to be critical. However, for quality control purposes and in order to understand what happened in your case we listened and reviewed the taped recording of your counseling session. We acknowledge that the counselor has an accent and although we did not notice any difficulty in communicating, we regret that this disturbed you. Many of our certified counselors are bilingual and a few are trilingual. We are able to help people whose first language may be Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Portuguese and more. It is important to us that we can help a wide cross section of the country. After reviewing the recording of your call, we contend that there were differences in your description of the conversation and what we heard. Even so, we understand that given we were not able to help you in the way you wished, you were dissatisfied.
Please keep in mind that to qualify for the debt management program, there are a number of factors that we take into consideration, among them, and most importantly is the prospective client’s budget as well as the amount and type of debts involved. We make every effort to avoid enrolling a client who we believe may be unsuccessful. It’s far better be disappointed in not qualifying for our program than it would have been to have gotten into a situation (in our opinion) that may not work out in the end. While we cannot get into your personal situation, you were given advice on what steps you may consider to resolve your debts either on your own or with our assistance in the event you can qualify in the future. You were also invited to call back at any time to talk to any of our counselors to have your situation reevaluated or just for additional budgeting advice. Further, we recommend that you use our Budgeting Made Easy guide(http://ow.ly/XNtW30nA12m) for help.
Again, we apologize for any confusion. And, whether you allow us to help you or not, we wish you the very best on your journey out of debt and in all your financial endeavors.
I love the service, it has helped myself and my family tremendously... So I'm wasn't upset about the miscommunication but I had worked with two other reps to get my accounts in order and nothing was done until I called Leslie. She's is the very best and got everything taken care of while I was on the phone. Thanks Leslie!!!!
Thank you for allowing Consolidated Credit to assist you. Customer service and client satisfaction are of the utmost importance to us. We regret any miscommunication but really pleased that everything got taken care of. We appreciate you and wish you the very best on your journey out of debt :)
Resolution In ProgressI thought they were going to help me get out of debt while saving me the most money but I actually worked with my credit card companies to close my accounts and pay low monthly payments. I am going to save $80 a month doing this on my own and when I called to cancel my auto pay and to stop the program they become hateful after messing up my bank account. Save yourself the hassle and frustration and deal with your debt issues on your own because Consolidated Credit will ** you over and cheat you out of your money. Avoid them.
Dear Sasha, Our debt management program is designed to help folks who are struggling to get out of debt get out in the shortest possible time, with low interest rates and lower their total payments. We encourage people to call their creditors and negotiate lower interest rates on their own. While some, like you, achieve success in getting lower rates on their own, others aren’t so lucky which is where Consolidated Credit comes in. We reduce their total payments by up to 30-50% and often getting creditors to reduce their interest rates by 0-11%, on average. In 25 years, we’ve helped over 6.5 million Americans get out of debt.
Excellent, every time I call I get treated well no matter how silly the question may be, courteous, and pleasant, helpful. always ask me did I have any other questions. I have been with the company since 2000. My husband started first and I saw what you guys could do and I joined, it is the best thing I could have done. Do not claim bankrupt. us consolidated.

Kapha as well as the other counselors I have had a chance to talk to have always been very polite. They have a professional and friendly way of dealing with you that takes a lot of the worry out of a trying situation. They even give you advice on how to speak with your creditors that leaves you knowing that you are on a positive path to clearing up your debt/credit problems. I highly recommend using their services!
