A great value! For a low monthly maintenance fee I am getting back on track.

Working with FCM was one of the best choices of my life. They immediately reigned in my out of control interest rates and had me on a payment plan soon thereafter. I was able to keep track of my account online and the chat option was extremely quick and easy when I need to speak with someone regarding my account. Before I knew it, my accounts were paid off and things couldn't be better! Thank you FCM for helping me gain control of my finances sooner rather than later!!!

I sobbed through my first call to Family Credit. I was in over my head and just kept crying to the point that my husband had to speak for me. FC said, "It will be ok. We're here to help." Family Credit was there every step of the way! Thanks!

Jennie ** is the best. She was polite, very knowledgeable and respectful. With her guidance, we are on our way to "freedom" and retirement. Jennie is an asset to FCM second to none. With her on your team, success is just around the corner. Thankful we were led to her by our Lord.

FCM was recommended to me by a credit card company that I had fallen behind payments on. The fees that FCM charged seemed like a lot at first, and perhaps they were, but they also helped negotiate better repayment terms for me and were very helpful and polite to deal with. Definitely provided the structure and discipline that I needed.

I had to find a way to get out of credit card debt. Dealing with it by myself was like trying to save a sinking ship. A friend recommended this local organization that helped her. I signed up and received my starter's package. My debt was consolidated and now it's paid off!

This company is the greatest. At first it was really tough on us but we were not in the best of shape when we called them for help. We are less than a year away from being debt free.

This has been a big relief. Late fees and past dues eventually go away. No more shuffling bills. One fee and FC does the rest. Balances are going down and surprising how you can manage without credit.

I can seriously say that without the help of Family Credit I don't think I would have been able to pay so much of my debt off already. I should only have maybe one more year and then I will have all my credit cards paid off. I will be sad to go but thankful that Family Credit helped me pay off my debt and be able to live a little more comfortable. Thank you!!!!!

Coming to FCM was diffcult because the debt was in my name, but it was the outcome of economic coercion from a past relationship. Though some of it was my own, I felt so discouraged with paying on debt. FCM gave me hope, and worked with all my creditors to assure me to get out of debt the fastest way possible. After paying off a huge portion of debt while going through Financial Peace University, FCM employees always congratulated me on working so hard to become debt-free. Thank you so much for you help. I feel confident now that I can be debt-free this year :)

My wife and I were under a mountain of credit card debt and we did not know what to do. The advice and payment consolidation assistance we received from FCM has been invaluable. They gave us our life back. We cannot thank them enough. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train! With the help of FCM payment plans we were able to payoff over $100K in credit card debt. God bless FCM.

I am very thankful that I signed on with Family Credit when I did. They have been helpful and accessible when I have had questions and I have been able to pay off more than $12,000 in debt and am very close to having all of my debt paid off. The monthly payments have been manageable and when I needed to change the amount of my monthly payment, they worked out a plan.

I started with this company as I was losing my house and was 109,000 in consumer debt. About four years later, I have about 16000 in consumer debt and will be debt-free before the end of the year. These people have been instrumental in getting my financial situation under control and I could not have done it without them. They are always so encouraging and helpful whenever I talk to them. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has any financial problem.

I've used Family Credit Services since October 2012 and will be out of Credit Card debt in 2016. Family Credit is a very professional organization and always responds immediately to questions or request. Before signing with them I did check them out with the BBB to see if there were complaints filed against them, they are an accredited business. I highly recommend this service; I have zero complaints with their service. All of my credit card accounts are closed, but I still can access all of my accounts online and I am amazed at how quickly my account balances are falling compared to how slowly my balances were declining before Family Credit. I'm looking forward to being out of debt and because I'm making my payments on time, my credit score is going up regularly.

When I finally admitted I couldn't make ends meet, I checked out several options. The sincere, personal response along with no judgement, moved FCM up the list quickly. The payment proposal kept me accountable, the on-line tools to help me with budget planning, periodic emails to encourage me. High five to Christine! She has been quick to respond to my emails with a personable, friendly response. It is evident the goal for FCM is to help me get out of debt. It has been over 2 years and my only regret is I wish I would have contacted FCM sooner! You have helped me with a situation that truly left me feeling helpless. Anyone I meet that is facing financial difficulties, I share my story and recommend they check out your website. Thank you and high five to Christine **! She is awesome to work with!

When I called Family Credit I was in a desperate situation because of all the money I owed on credit cards. They worked with me and a plan was arranged. It took me 4 1/2 years to pay off this debt. They have been easy to work with and they explained everything to me. I felt they knew what they were doing and it gave me peace. Thank you for all your help.

We are now less than a year away from eliminating our credit card debt, thanks to Family Credit. I can't believe how easy it was to set up an account with them, and that it was at an extremely reasonable monthly fee... way less than we would have been paying all these years on credit card fees had we not turned to them for help. And of course we will have our debts paid off so much faster. They negotiated with our credit card companies to get us a low (1.9%) or 0% finance charge rate and set up a payment plan that will allow us to be free of those debts at the end of the five year period.
When we receive the credit card statements in the mail, it's so nice to see the balances going down significantly each month, without all the extra fees being tacked on, so you actually feel like you are getting closer to being debt-free. It's also nice knowing that the progress is happening automatically without any further action from us. Family Credit deducts the agreed upon monthly payment plan amount from our checking and takes care of sending it to where it is owed. I am so grateful we found out about this incredible service!

I'm thankful for a resource to help me organize and manage my debt. I would have preferred a more detailed monthly statement that let me see balances coming down. It also would have been nice if FCMS was linked in more closely with my creditors so you knew the actual balances vs. using "best estimates" particularly as we got closer to the debt being paid off. Overall, I'm thrilled that I used your program and just a few minor tweaks would have made it amazing.

I am satisfied with the service that I have received through FCMS. I do not appreciate not being informed of the possibility that I would have 30-day late being reported to my credit bureau. I have not had any 30-day late reports prior to enrolling in this program but was told that my credit will be positively affected in the long run as an explanation for why this wasn't explained. I believe that most people who enroll in the program do not have good credit to begin with like I had, so it might not be as big of a deal to have a 30+ day reporting on their credit, but since I had good credit, my rating has tanked.
