The enrollment is easy. You will need to add the credit card number. So far I have very good experience. Every time I contact them I get the answer and follow. It is slow process so you have to be patient. Thank you.

Freedom Debt Relief has been nothing but a major headache on my bank book. My credit has been destroyed.... When I enlisted I had less Debt.. This company did not disclose that every time I make a payment it costs me an additional $10 to financial crossroads along with the additional $9.95 a month that they take to maintain the account. National litigation log group there's a ** joke. I paid them $12 a month for 3 1/2 years if I needed illegal representation. When the time came, I needed legal representation and they turned and went the other way. The money that I paid them they got to keep, but they NEVER provided any service.
This company, like I said has cost me more money. Almost $2000 just for the last settlement alone. Don't forget the $9.95 a month on top of an additional $10 a month to make a payment and let's not forget the $12 for the service national litigation law group "DOES NOT" provide. To sum this up, "I wouldn't recommend freedom debt relief to my worst enemy"....

No one emails me so I can find out where my money is going...who has been paid. If no reply from you I will cancel this program. My interest rates have gone wild. Y'all don't tell the creditors you are working on my inf and bills.
Hi Barbara, thank you for taking the time to review your experience. We strive to provide great service and provide debt relief. We take feedback very seriously and for those reasons an account specialist will reach out to you shortly regarding your experience. Thank you for choosing Freedom Debt Relief.
Would give zero stars if I could. Would not recommend to anyone. I settled most of the cards myself because Freedom was taking way too long. I made large deposits into my account and yet they were not settling. Ruined my credit score. All customer representatives give standard canned responses. The one out of six cards they settled I had left with them due to getting a subpoena and was worried about having to go to court. 16 phone calls later they finally settled for a mere 1200 less than original balance. But then they charged me a $1350 settlement fee. Really??!! Would tell anyone to run the other way. You too can stop paying your cards, save the money, ruin your own credit without the “help” from freedom. Worst and most stressful, disappointing experience ever!!!
We appreciate you taking the time to review your experience, Elizabeth. Yes you can negotiate your own debts. You can also do your own taxes and repair your own car, but most people would rather leave these tasks to experienced professionals. Freedom Debt Relief has been negotiating savings for our clients with hundreds of creditors since we started in 2002. Our knowledge and experience puts us in a strong position to stand up to your creditors and fight for the best settlements possible. Compare our fees to the 100% debt + interest % + late fees + penalty fees if someone can't meet the monthly required minimum payment. We offer a proven solution at an affordable monthly cost that helps our clients pay down their entire debt - principal, fees, interest and all. Rebuilding credit is far easier to do than getting out of a sizable debt problem, which is why clients turn to us despite any credit score issues they may incur. Almost everyone can have excellent credit in two years or less following a simple plan, no matter how bad their credit is today. Thank you for choosing Freedom Debt Relief!
I was not aware at the beginning how bad my credit would be affected by this solution your team choose to take in prolonging payment so the the settlement with the loaners. This has set me back on buying a house and being unhappy where I am currently in my life!

The program kept me from doing bankruptcy. It helped me clear up my creditors and pay them off. They just cleaned up the last account. It should be done in a couple of weeks. Working with Freedom Debt Relief certainly kept me in mind of when I spend money that's on a card for details on how much I spend.

Please let us know how we can continue supporting your journey to financial freedom. Thank you for being a valued client of Freedom Debt Relief!
Didn't realize how much money they take after settling debt. Would have been better off settling on my own and save thousands of dollars. I get it's saving me the hassle and everything has a charge but it's insane. How are you really saving yourself when settle debt 50% then they ask for 20% so in end really only settle for 30% and could do alone and cut middleman.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Rachel. Keep in mind that our settlement fees are bigger savings than having to pay your creditors the full 100% of the debt owed + interest % + any additional fees they charge. Yes, your creditor may have presented a lower settlement amount, but that is just to pull you back in so they could hit you with having to pay the full balance. Our settlements are secure and offer you a reduction in your debt that will lead you to become financially free. Thank you for choosing Freedom Debt Relief!
This company has kept me well informed of my account. They have actively worked on my debts to settle the accounts. Their website is very easy to use and has all the information I need on it. I have been able to get in contact with customer service each time I have had a question.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Noella. It's always great to hear clients share how pleased they are with our service efforts and exceptional team. Thank you for being a valued client of Freedom Debt Relief!
Not enough communication about my debt and what to do about it. No explanation on what the debt is for and why it takes so long to settle it. Why do I have to pay a fee to settle my debt? You need much more contact with people you're working with in the program.

I am very pleased with the way my debt is being resolved. The relief from constant phone calls from creditors and having Freedom handling the accounts is worth so much. The back up of people helping to resolve my accounts means a lot and everyone I've dealt with has been more than helpful.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Rita. We are thrilled to accompany your journey to financial freedom. Please let us know how we can continue supporting your every step! Thank you for choosing Freedom Debt Relief!
They make everything real easy. Anytime I get contacted by debt collectors I just forward the information on and I'm done. It's such a huge relief to not have to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone who has found themselves in a financial bind but is not willing to file bankruptcy.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Richard. It's great to hear you received the utmost level of customer service when speaking with us.

I'm very happy with them. I had the mindset of thinking that I could climb out of this debt on my own, but it's so much more helpful to have a team of people, especially with Freedom Debt Relief. It's worth whatever fees you pay. It’s been great.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Michael. We are thrilled to accompany your journey to financial freedom. Please let us know how we can continue supporting your every step! Thank you for choosing Freedom Debt Relief!
I was misled. When I signed up, (May 2018) it was estimated that it would take 48 months and either be around $36,000 (back page) or up to a little less than $54,000 as listed on a comparison page. It seems it will take about 6 years and significantly more than even the high estimate of the savings comparison page. I have made all payments, enrolled debt was accurate and I have already paid $47,000. At this rate, I will be at my enrolled debt almost-saving very little.

The last 2 settlements and future settlements its obvious I'm paying too much settlement fees, every time I agree to settle with a creditor, just look at the history of my accounts, Synchrony account, Avant account and Lending Club you did excellent in getting me a fair settlement now I pay full price and more fees than before, hope you could do "BETTER" "SETTLEMENT" LOWER FEES!!

I have been pleasantly surprised by this speed of service. I received a settlement within the first month of signing up for the service. It is satisfying watching your debt melt away. Plus, once the creditors know you are working with Freedom Debt Relief, the phone calls stopped.
