    For anyone thinking about working with this company: I apologize as this may be a bit lengthy, but I want you know my experience. I am a disabled veteran who exists entirely on my monthly disability check from Social Security. I had analyzed my finances & decided that my debt ratio was getting a little too high. So I decided to work with 5 Lakes to reduce my debt before I got myself into any kind of trouble. At the time my credit was good & I had not missed any payments with my accounts. 5 Lakes instructed me to stop all payments with the accounts turned over to them to show financial hardship which they use as a bargaining tool with the debtors. I followed their instructions to a T and instead of paying debtors I pay them by direct deposit. BEWARE-This will destroy your credit rating, however, 5 Lakes will reassure you it will recover as they negotiate the debts and you eventually payoff the agreed amounts.

    5 Lakes told me multiple times that they typically can get your debt to approximately 50% & they will start collecting money from you immediately based on that amount with their “significant” fees also attached. They convinced me that they work very hard to advocate on your behalf. (Honestly, I have not found this to be true in my opinion). Now, the first account they resolved actually came in exactly as anticipated. The second account required additional funding, which I approved since the customer service agent told me that this sometimes happens & that things eventually even out with the remaining accounts. The third account required even more money a month to be resolved. At this point I told the customer rep that this would be exceedingly difficult as I do not have ANY additional financial support. An extreme strain & was literally cutting into my food budget.

    Though I eventually approved, I made it exceedly clear there was zero left for additional funds with last accounts. When I was contacted for the next account, I was told this one required approximately $1600 lump sum to be solved. OMG, they NEVER told me that they may ask for lump sums! This is just unbelievable since I had just told them there were no additional funds & they were cutting into my food budget. (Mind you, I had even informed them I get charity food assistance to keep afloat.) At this point, I balked and said NO with 5 Lakes promising to renegotiate which they did about four more times. Each time requesting crazy unreasonable amounts from me. Eventually, they came back with an another offer for money I didn’t have. Mentally exhausted, I would have to go with less heat for winter in Ohio to resolve this. The customer service rep stated I know this is hard, but this account was rushed since it was turned over to an attorney’s office for collection.

    At this point, I am invested 100% in this program and I have far far less money/food/heat going into fall. 5 lakes literally calls me within the week to say we need additional funds for the last account(which we still haven’t resolved & I may have to pull all accounts to just go bankrupt) . Keep in mind, though it may have taken a few extra years to pay off my debts; I had good credit..a little cash…and more food & heat per month when I entered the program. I was enthusiastic to be proactively get my debt in line. However, 5 Lakes has been a pure and simple disaster for me both financially & emotionally. Final note: notice those with negative reviews appear to have had similar experiences.
