Freedom Debt Relief

I was in a difficult situation, falling short on my payments with three credit cards. The late payment was pilling up. I tried to make a deal with the credit cards but I was unsuccessful so someone told me about Freedom. Freedom was very helpful to me. We had a contract. We both keep our end of the contract, and I was very satisfied with the result. I will recommend Freedom to anyone.

I worked with Freedom Debt Relief and was a little hesitant to begin the consolidation process. I had never missed a payment before, but even though I was sending a very high monthly payment to try to pay down my debt, it wasn't working. I weighed the pros and cons and decided that if I was serious about getting out of debt, then I needed help. It was a little stressful to receive calls from creditors, but being able to give Freedom's info helped. Knowing that I was doing something was better than feeling like I was never going to get out of debt.

One of my American Express credit cards was not resolved. It went to collection agencies from one to another and then the court and when I asked about the fees, they simply said "cannot reimburse due to company policy". Currently, it's still in collection but my account is closed with Freedom Financial!!

When I decided to call Freedom Financial, I was behind all the time. Credit card companies were charging high interest rates and if you were late, they charged you even more. I felt that they didn't really care about me one way or another. They were just costing me more and more and I was never going to be debt free if I didn't do something. That's when I decided to call Freedom Financial. The rest is now history; it took me 3 years to work through my debt but with the help of Freedom, I was able to become debt free. It has lifted a tremendous weight off my shoulders. Thank you, Freedom Financial.

The whole process at Freedom Debt Relief was conducted on a very high professional manner. At any time I needed a question answered, all I had to do was make the call and they were always there for me. From start to finish, I would recommend Freedom Debt Relief... There are a lot of options out there, just make this one call. Thank you.

Freedom did a superb job for me and I am much better off for having gone through the program they so deftly operated. I was hesitant and scared - but this is a super answer to financial problems. I would strongly advise people to check the Freedom Debt Relief program out. It pays down debt quickly and puts years back on your life by eliminating worry. The person who explained the program was most thorough and answered every question I have. Subsequent follow up was more than adequate at all times - and sometimes truly excellent.

They did a fabulous job and in two years paid off three high balance Credit Cards at around 40% of what I owed and so much for the CC Co. raising my interest to 30% plus. I would highly recommend Freedom for any help needed to get relief from CC debt. If I had it to do over again, I would not hesitate.

I paid FDR close to $7,000 and your company didn't settle anything for us. One company just sent us a 10-99 for taxes and wrote off the debt. Two other companies sued us and FDR settled both at 100%. So again, they didn't do anything to help us. They had no problem taking the money and were supposed to give us back money for not meeting their settlement agreement promise. I could have done what they did because they did nothing for us. I ended up filing bankruptcy after the mess FDR left us in, not to mention $7,000 poorer. They are not a good company and will steal your money. Good luck getting any of it back. Bankruptcy cost less than half of FDR's prices for doing nothing. Terrible company, don't fall for it.

I am grateful that Freedom Debt Relief helped me out of debt. A few suggestions when you are going through the process of getting out of debt: Learn the system. Pay as much as possible in the beginning. Pay above the monthly payment. I wished I would have paid it off earlier. Visit your online account, both Freedom Debt Relief and the participating Global Bank. Lastly, stay on top of your paperwork and do not assume anything. I would like to touch on the pay off earlier suggestion. Your credit cards can still accrue interest before they are settled. If you are consistent managing your account, your experience will be less stressful.

I was very pleased with the service that I received during my time on the program. I was informed on everything that was taking place from start to finish. Without this program, I would still be struggling to get my life back on track. I can truly say that now I'm in a better place financially and looking forward to living worry free of credit card bills.

You forgot to tell me that even if you knock down the full payment due... the IRS was coming after me with the balance due to the creditors. Had I known, I would have stayed with the creditors. I had to borrow money from friends and the bank to pay the IRS.

Freedom Debt Relief worked with me when I had a better offer from one of my credit cards than Freedom Debt Relief could offer. One day, I was checking my account and discovered that my debt was paid off. I called them and immediately they took action to close out my account. Three years sounds like a long time but it went by quickly. I currently have no credit cards and if I want something, I pay cash.

I was getting a headache... trying to pay my credit card off. No matter how hard I try, it wasn't going down. Freedom Debt Relief came and helped me pay off my credit and not only help me pay them off, they also showed me how to handle my money better. It was very hard the first three months but then you don't miss the money. They're out to help pay the cards off... but now I feel a whole lot better because I am not in debt and I want to thank you for helping me get out of debt.

I had a great experience with Freedom Debt Relief. I enjoyed their friendliness and they make you feel like you can talk with them anytime and tell them anything. They are there to help you and the payment plan was something I could handle on a bi-weekly arrangement. If I get in another situation like the one I was in (I hope I don't), I would definitely call them.

I found out that it’s cheaper if you do it yourself. If you have the number to the credit card company, call them and make a settlement without Freedom Financial (FF). I had a Discover card that would not deal with third party companies so I had to negotiate with them by myself. Although I did all of the negotiation, I still had to pay FF a percentage of the settlement. I had a Chase card that I was able to settle for less than what FF could and again, I still had to pay them a percentage. The only card they MAYBE helped with was Bank of America but at the tie Bank of America was required to settle at a certain percentage by the US Government. So to sum up again... do it yourself and save thousands of dollars.

We paid our balance off in full, and it took over a year to get account resolved and closed resulting in more added fees. Plus, we called month after month and were given the runaround. Not very satisfied. I definitely wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. They want you to do your part in the agreement but don’t want to do theirs.

My husband and I were in WAY over our heads - new house, excessive spending, and too much credit card debt. (-in the neighborhood of 60K) With the downturn on employment, some family issues and the housing market we were really strapped to make ends meet. We looked into the usual solutions, none of which really could help. Then we discovered Freedom Financial. They were really helpful and didn't make us feel like second or third class citizens. Sure, it sucked big time committing to almost $1,000 month nut going to their account, but we resolved our credit card issues within three years (9 months earlier than our contract estimated!). I don't remember the exact amount of money they helped us save, but it had to be close to $40K! I'd recommend their services to anyone who currently finds themselves in credit crisis.

My experience with Freedom Debt Relief was great, convenient and in the end, I had saved so much money. They allowed me to get back on track and taught me how to get back to managing my finances. Debt doesn't have to control your life. Take action and get relief with Freedom Debt Relief.

I initially signed up for a 24-month program. Now, it is 32 months; I have more than enough money in a special designated account with one remaining credit card account outstanding. I called twice every month to ask them why they are not doing anything on this account. I got all types of crazy answers from the customer services rep. My remaining balance is only $3200 and I have close to $4000 in a special designated account with Global Client Solution. Yet, Freedom Debt Relief still hangs me dry on this matter.

I have been enrolled in this program for over 11 months with just over $12k in debt and not only have the negotiations seemingly gone nowhere, but I cannot connect with the negotiators or a competent customer service rep to weigh my options. Additionally, despite reporting changes in my debt collector status, the debt collector FDR is negotiating with never changes in my account dashboard. I would have been much better off negotiating with my creditors directly than letting FDR do this for me. I am completely unsatisfied with this service. Do not use Freedom Financial, Freedom Debt Relief or whatever it is called. Find another agency or do the legwork yourself. I am finding that creditors are more than willing to work with you to resolve your debts in an affordable and timely manner. Beware of this service.

It took 4 years but we finished the program. They don't warn you properly about everything that can happen to you. I got sued twice and judgments placed against me and liens on my house. I had to borrow money from everyone to clear up the judgments so my bank accounts were not frozen. They eventually sorted it out but 3 years later, I'm battling getting my credit report correct. They say they will get you settlement letters when your debt is settled. All I received were settlement offer letters. Nothing that said the debts were settled.

I will start by saying, what a headache I have been through! A one-time draft to pay off a creditor has turned into a nightmare! My bank informed me that I was being charged fees because GCS was trying to remove funds twice. FDR said this has never happened before and it was GCS' fault. Then GCS said it was FDR's fault. So no one wants to take the fault. Okay, fine. In the meantime, I am just trying to pay off this last creditor to get out of this program. In the beginning, my husband and I could not have been more pleased. Now in the end, it has turned into a nightmare for us.

Well, I was told when I sign on with Freedom Debt that all my credit will be cleared in 38 months. It has been 5 years now and my credit had not cleared. I do not hear anything from them. I have to call every month when they take money from my checking and ask when it will be over. They all have the same line of "We are trying." Well, I could try and deal with the credit company and I would have been done by now. I do not trust this company much and I am going to file a report to the Business Bureau about this. I will tell everyone I know and post it on Facebook. People do not need to deal with such company. We had enough.

In 2008, I joined FDR to assist with debt after a divorce. I was never updated as to what they were doing and one of my cases settled without my knowledge. Then I received a letter from the IRS stating I owed money because I had not claimed the amount settled. Then in March of 2013, I received a notice from the creditor that was emailed to me via FDR with no explanation indicating that the creditor was writing off my debt. I had less than $1,000 to go before the original amount of the debt was paid off! I asked them what negotiations had been done and they said none. Within 2 minutes, I got an email congratulating me because they had settled the second debt for half!

Since enrolling in FDR (18mos), I have not seen an itemized statement of where my money goes. I took care of one large debt on my own and have been requesting a final payoff from FDR. The payoff amount ranges from $3,009 to $14,000 depending on whom I talk to. I have had two support people tell me they requested an advanced calculation and I would be contacted. This was 2 months ago. I'm still waiting. I asked for an itemized statement from inception - no reply, no response. Since they call themselves a financial service company, aren't there mandated standards that have to be met? Since they handle and deal with other people’s money? And giving me the wrong court dates to appear and allowing my accounts to go into default... isn't that a lack of fiduciary duty? I'd like to take these ** to court. Mostly though I just want a realistic and true accounting of my money, time spent to justify their charges, and real payoff amount.

On 25 January 2013, I received a call to settle one of my accounts on the Freedom Debt Relief Program. The amount to settle was too high and I did not approve the transaction and terms. The same day, I went to the Freedom website and noticed that a payment to the account was already made on the 24th of January, one day before even being called to approve the transaction. I contacted Freedom and cancelled the program; I no longer had faith that they can handle my transactions. To this day, I am owed $600.05 from the unapproved settlement. I have called numerous times and they tell me that it takes time to get the money back to me. Freedom rushed to settle without approval because of their 21% fees that they get to settle your debt. Freedom Debt Relief violated their own agreement that they put in writing.

There were many debtors calling our home and threatening to take us to court. They would not work with us. Freedom Financial gave us all the instructions in their welcome home packet how to stop the harassment calls! The representatives were absolutely professional and always give you hope and help you in one phone call! Freedom Financial, we highly recommend you!

For someone like me who lost a husband, this agency was the best way for me to at least attempt to pay off my debts. This agency worked with me in setting up payment plan till I fully paid the debts. It wasn't easy but I can now say that I completed the program, and what a great feeling it was on that day. Thank you Freedom Debt Relief.

Joining the program, getting all our debt together and determining a manageable amount to pay so that Freedom Financial could negotiate for us, they did a wonderful job. I called quite often and everyone was polite and helpful and communicated promptly via phone call and email. We took nearly four years to complete the process but when it was all done, all debt was paid and gone. Thanks for all the help we got.

I retained Freedom Debt Relief to negotiate my credit card debt. All this company did was lie about how the business works. First, they told me that I would set up an account and I would pay my creditors. I am a year and a half into the program and still waiting to set up my account. Secondly, they would take their fee of 20% at the end of the program, the end of three accounts paid. Third, the cards were to be closed and my balances would be frozen when I joined the program. The balances were negotiated higher than when I joined the program. A $13,000 balance was settled for $15,000 and a $5,200 balance was settled for $6,391. Fourth, my draft was set at $681. They took $682. Finally, they said there was no fee on the bank draft but there was a fee. I just don't know how much because the statements they sent are useless. No one should be treated like this.
