Seems like there are a lot of hidden fees and they seem to stretch out the settlement process to maximize their banking fees for their parent company. They charge their commission fees based the total debt not what is settled for. They tell you upfront what you want to hear to get you to sign up then keep funneling your funds into a bank account they control.
Hi Jason, we are sorry to hear you feel this way. Our goal is to be transparent about every aspect of our program, which is why we disclose banking fees upon enrollment on the agreement and the initial during welcome call.

They made this easy, was glad when I saw the negotiations and the savings. Already will have 3 paid off by March and more on the way. The negotiations they have made have truly been a great reduction in what I owed, I couldn't without them. So worth it. Great decision.

I continue to get phone calls, emails, and letters from my creditors. I am not happy with the negotiations to date, and I was under the impression that you would contact my creditors to let them know that I was working with you. You need to provide some kind of laid out plan that shows which creditor you are going to approach and for how much.

I was at the point where I was considering bankruptcy to get out from underneath debt that had been accumulated between medical bills and credit cards. I'm thankful I found this program because I was able to get out from under everything for less than what I was paying on 2 of my loans that were originally 40% of my total due monthly. I owed more than I was making in a month and had so many old medical bills in collections.

I am not happy with the agreements you have made with my creditors. You ruined my credit with promises that were never fulfilled. I should have never went with Freedom. The fees that were paid to Freedom and the amounts you settled for, I would have been better off just paying my bills and not having my credit ruined. You also told me that when a credit was resolved it would be treated as if I paid off the loan. It turns out that was a lie because Lowe’s has it in my credit score that I settled for a lesser amount.

It all seems great. However, it is confusing at times. I understand that creditors will continue to call and harass/pressure me to make payments or to participate in a "plan" they have to get back on track. But the confusion I get is when I get an email from FDR stating they found other debts that can be added to my plan. These other debts are/ supposed to be already included. I submitted both my wife's and my credit report when I enrolled and was quoted a fixed monthly payment which was based and included on the debt listed on our credit report.

Did not fully understand what this program entitled in the beginning when I signed up. I was under the impression that it was a debt consolidation, but it hurt my credit and was not aware of the “program fees” when I originally signed up. I had to take the initiative to a call customer service more than a handful of times in order to have accounts closed and still received push back about closing them. Not until I requested to pull money out and negotiate close account on my own did Freedom Debt Relief take the necessary steps to close out accounts. I have moneys remaining from negotiation accounts being closed and still waiting for moneys to be given back to me. I will have to call customer service again to check status of remaining moneys.

The program works quickly with settling debt, however just like with any debt relief program a large portion of your dedicated account goes to their processing fees vs paying off the debt. It takes several installments to actually pay off the debt. You have to put extra money into the account to help pay the debts back vs the money actually going straight to the creditors. So Freedom Debt Relief in the long run receives more of a percentage of money. Hence why it takes you almost 5 yrs to actually pay off the debt. I had a debt of 1400. It was settled for 56% but their processing fee was 750 that was taken from my dedicated account. Then I’m make monthly installments of 68 bucks to the company. Why is the settlement fee way more than the settlement amount. I understand this is a business and they have to make a profit but this is preying on people who just want to get their debts paid but can’t get a loan to pay it all off.
Hi Tifani, thank you for reaching out regarding your experience. We set up a settlement fee schedule to go along with your settlement.

Small debt should be resolved first in order to have less companies to work with at the end and this way saving more money.
Original Review: Well as I have seen it is waiting to negotiate is accumulate more charges and those extra charges are not negotiated only the balance.. It's a great savings but it could be more.. The way I see it the balance that should be negotiated is the first balance not the second that has more charges. The accumulated charges can range to over one dollars more than what your contracted balance was in the beginning.

They've always been very knowledgeable, and polite. If I had a question, it was quick to resolve my question. They said it was gonna take the better part of four years, which it did. It's just about done now. But I'm not much for this client dashboard. I'm an old man and on disability. I'm not good on tablets or computers. Freedom Debt Relief has worked with me very nicely and they've helped me a great deal. They saved me some money.
One thing about Freedom Debt Relief was that once they took over from you, you were shielded from people calling you about money all the time. They handle it. There were two accounts that bothered to call me and I told them, “I suggest talk to Freedom Debt Relief. I'm trying to work something out with all you people as opposed to just taking off and you're not getting nothing. So don't bother me no more.” So it was very nice.
I was into the program before COVID started and they were willing to work with me. They were willing to work with me on the quoted monthly deduction for the program and cut that down when things got really tough. I've always admired them for that. They didn't wanna tack on extra fees in it, and they still said 48 months and, "We'll just work with you. That's all we can all do." So that was an A-plus for Freedom Debt Relief.

I would definitely run away from this company. I used to the settle debt that I could have settled myself for a lot less. When you call in you get a different story (the main one being, give it 30 more days). I graduated their program and paid everything early. Here I am a year later, and American Express still has a balance, and still has a judgment against me.
I contacted American Express and they had no recollection of a settlement and said yes, the judgment was still there. After contacting Freedom, more than once, and getting different stories EVERY time. I finally got ahold of someone to help. guess what their answer was? you have to send them info. After paying them thousands of dollars, not only did they drop the ball, I am the one having to fix it. My credit has been dinged every month for almost a year, waiting on them. To sum it up, read their reviews, settle your accounts yourself, save yourself frustration and most of all MONEY!! They can say, "Let me research what happened" but the facts are facts, they took lots of money from me and didn't finish their job.

Freedom Debt Relief started out by helping me then totally dropped the ball. They sent me a letter congratulating me for graduating from their program with all credit card debts settled. This was a lie. Evidently the Capital One credit card settlement was broken because FDR was short about $500 on the amount agreed upon for settlement. I received this information from Capital One. So over $8000 has been delinquent in this card for the last 3 years and I had no idea. Obviously this has had a negative impact on my credit score. FDR admits they were short the $500 but refuses to reach out to Capital One to fix it. They say that I have to get documentation from Capital One to show there is still a balance on that card. Capital One refuses to give me that information in writing to forward to FDR.
Capital One gave me a email address to give to FDR to start the communication process and FDR REFUSES TO EMAIL Capital One. This is a NIGHTMARE! Do not recommend this company to anyone as they clearly do not pay attention to detail when paying off agreed upon settlement amounts and will do nothing to correct was was clearly their mistake by their own admission.
