    United Debt Counselors' service and program were good. The enrollment process was pretty quick and my consultant was good. She used to get back to me when I had questions, which was great. She was timely and contacted me by phone call. They automatically took the monthly payment out of my account. I knew that there was a certain day I had to have it there. I had my own account so I can see where I was and where the money was going. It took me almost five years but I finally finished the program. I was going through some hard times which was why I went down. Now, I’m getting back on track and my credit is slightly going up. If someone asks, I'd say that United Debt did great. They helped me and I’m sure they'd help you.

    I had lost my husband and I ended up in some debt. And United Debt Counselors is just a blessing. They contacted me and their enrollment process was great. Their customer service was terrific and the interaction was great. I'd call them if I didn’t understand something and if I'd have an extension but the rep wasn’t there, I'd leave a message and they'd call back. They even called back before it got started until it was done. The monthly payment was automatically withdrawn out of my account. The service is impressive and worth the cost.

    I completed United Debt's program in about six months to a year. I got out pretty fast and I'm debt free now. The monthly phone calls really helped out a lot. They were available for me when I called them. Once we got a ball rolling on one of the credit cards, the negotiator was very attentive. He was there for me when I needed him and communication was good, so he made it a lot easier. I have recommended United Debt to my wife, and she’s going through a process right now.

    There was a lot of turnover in United Debt Counselors. When I was in their program, I didn’t have a person all the time. I should’ve looked into it more. I didn’t realize how badly I get cremated in debt while I'm struggling to make payments. They told me not to make any more payments and ignore all the threatening phone calls. The first three or four months that I pay into their program, I'm paying them before they start to help me. It took about nine months before they started making payments to our creditors. Whenever my wife and I call them, they tell us to just give their number to the creditors. Nothing was helpful. Meanwhile, I was struggling to make my payments, but I was making them. I had a good credit then, but now, I have horrible credit.

    Throughout the process, I was always wondering. I felt like I was left in the wind. I would get a monthly call, but the lady wasn’t able to give me any information. I would have to call and speak to a supervisor for any question or concern. My wife and I shared a card, but most of the debt was in my name. I had to have it notarized that my wife was willing to let the debt counselors talk to the creditors, and sent the form back to United Debt Counselors.

    About six months later, we were getting letters from the courts saying that the debts were with a collection agency. They wanted to file in court. So I called United Debt Counselors but the first number just rang and rang. I called another number, which is that of my agent Jeff, but I also got no answer. I then called the original number and told them that I couldn’t get a hold of Jeff. I was told that he was fired and that when he left, he took all his stuff with him. So I had to go through the process again. I had to go to the notary, get the forms filled out, send it back, and then they were able to talk to the creditors.

    Also, we figured out that if you have a credit card and you don’t pay it, the credit card company will call you and make the same deal with you that the debt counselor gets. We talked to a place and they said, “Okay, we understand that you’re having hardships and everything. We’ll reduce the debt to $850.” That time, we said that we were told we can’t do anything. I got a call from United Debt Counselors a month later telling me that they are gonna settle with that same creditor for $850. I was like, "I could’ve done that myself." I ended up paying them a lump sum to get it done. My mother passed away and left me a small amount of money that I was able to just give them so that this process would be over and done with.

    My debt was out of control. I had something in the mail from United Debt Counselors and started calling. I used them to lower my debt with the people that I owe money to. Their enrollment process was pretty good but I was upset with them towards the end because I had four companies that I was dealing with for debt. They helped me with two companies, but they were smaller ones. However, American Express and Optima didn't wanna do anything with a third party and I had to negotiate myself. United Debt walked me through what to say and do though. I paid them over $8,000 but I could’ve just used paid that money towards my debts and negotiated myself. They should’ve known in the beginning that American Express and Optima don't deal with third parties. If they told me then I could’ve said that I would handle it myself.

    Sometimes I would call and the people that answer the phone are very nice. The lady that I was dealing with at the end was okay. She was really nice and helpful. She would call me back a lot. But I wasn’t happy with the first rep. She was rude and would never call me back. I just didn't care for her, especially when I was in a bind and didn't know what to do. Still, I’m done now and I'm happy after working out my debt.

    I had gotten in debt. I’ve gotten so many credit cards and I couldn’t get them all paid off. I saw an advertisement of United Debt Counselors and I signed up for their program. I went straight to them, talked to the girl, and I was impressed with them. They did a good job and helped me get all my bills paid off. And it’s all through now.

The program has helped me pay off all those credit cards and get out of debt.

    I was sent a letter in the mail by United Debt Counselors and at that time, I was over my limit in bills. I decided to call the number and the lady talked to me. She explained to me the program and I agreed to what she was saying. I read the letter that others were sending me and they had a limit part so I didn’t like that. They were also charging me too much. I couldn’t afford it that was why I wanted to do the consolidation. United Debt Counselors came in at the right time because I had moved to Louisiana, and that was when they sent the letter.

    United Debt Counselors took a lot of stress off me. They talked to the creditors and they negotiated with them. Everybody that was a part of that program working there was very kind and they wanted to make sure that they could meet my needs. They were wonderful. They answered my questions and they went beyond what I asked for.

    The program was excellent because a couple of years later, I could not pay the amount that they had set me on, and they worked with me. I had paid enough into the program, and it paid off a lot of my credit cards. The program has worked for me to not get in debt anymore. I got the letter that I have graduated out of the program and my credit score has gone up. I'm thankful for that because I did apply for a major credit card as I needed one at least, and my credit score was 700. I have kept it and maintained at that place. I was very happy with United Debt Counselors and I still talk about it today. I referred it to a couple of people.

    The lady that I talked to at United Debt was very convincing. I wasn’t too happy about the initial situation ‘cause they didn’t tell me that my credit was gonna be messed up. They didn’t in fact explain to me that once I signed up, my creditor would be putting me in in the credit bureau. For the past 18 months, I was in the credit bureau so I couldn’t buy anything. I had no credit and that was definitely a problem. If they had said that to me, I probably wouldn’t be in the program. Nevertheless, United Debt got all the bills taken care of.

We will certainly go back and review this on the recorded calls we have. We are glad to know that we were able to get you out of the debt.

    I wanted to pay off some debt that we had to save money 'cause my husband had student loans coming up. I Googled the internet and United Debt has pretty good reviews, and that was where I went.

    I had a debt with Chase Bank that I wouldn't be able to pay and United Debt Counselors offered to help me out. I made an agreement with Chase Bank and United really made me work on the case. The lady whom I worked with was very enthusiastic to help me out and get free of debt. She made me feel comfortable with her. United and got to an agreement on the phone with regards to monthly payments. I ended up having to pay chump change for the debt instead of paying the whole thing. I took time for me to pay it all. Now that I've paid, United called me to say that they’re gonna send me a certificate and I'm still waiting for that. I also need confirmation from Chase Bank that my payments are complete.

    I called up United Debt and had some questions, and then they put me in touch with a client that was in the program, and we talked personally on the phone. After I talked with her, I felt much more comfortable. It was very easy to enroll to their program and their rep was very easy to talk to. They would check in from time to time just to see how things were going, and for any questions. The communication was very smooth.

    United Debt combined everything and I had one payment a month. It was very easy to do that, and saved me a lot of interest. We started off and then I added another card, so we adjusted the monthly payment. But they could not work with American Express. So I ended up dealing with them on my own. But United Debt made numerous efforts to reach out to American Express. American Express wouldn’t talk to them, so it was not their fault. United Debt put me on a path where I wasn’t just paying the minimum payments. They negotiated with the debtors, and got me a really reduced price and I was able to pay it off. I'm done with the program. So now I'm credit card debt-free.

    I was spending more money than I was bringing in. I was looking through the internet looking at things and United Debt Counselors caught my eye. I called and had a fellow come out to the house from Texas and we signed up with him. I liked the idea, so we made a plan and we worked on it. We had three different outstanding debts and we looked at the interest rate. We had two Citi card debt and Wells Fargo. He suggested that we could start with the one that had the highest interest rate, then we could start knocking it out on that one, so that is what we did.

    What got me intrigued, though, is they could get it at 40%. For the first one that I started out with, I paid up around 60% and got it out of the way. For the next one, they got it done at 50%, but for the last one, the biggest one, I said that I wanted it at 40%. We started at 60%, then 50% and now we got it at 40%. I stuck to my goals and I did it. If someone is considering going through the program, it is a great idea. It helped me tremendously and I would recommend it.

It was entirely up to me because they gave me choices of what payment type and how much they wanted me to get out of my bank account.

I completed the program around two years and the debt consultant was so nice. He was concerned about us and that really made the difference.

    We had a total of three credit cards that we've been trying to get straightened out. I sought United Debt's services and the enrollment process was okay. We did all of the processes then they sent me out the package. I sent back things that they had to get and they were good about it. We started with the smaller ones first then went to the big one. With the first two cards, United Debt’s negotiator was able to get everything worked out with the people that we owed the money to. But the last one, which was not their fault, the negotiator kept trying to send the information to the bank who kept sending the paperwork back. So, I let it go for three months from the time she started on this.

    I had a time also that I was calling the negotiator and she didn't get back to me. I kept getting upset. But when she finally did, she was right on it. Still, she couldn't get anything done because the bank was not cooperating. I told her that it did not seem like the bank was gonna cooperate so, we opted out of the program. United Debt returned the money that we paid. I had all the faith in United Debt and it was the bank that was being a pain. We were making the payments and building the money up but the bank did not want to negotiate with us and that they wanted more money. They did not even wanna talk to the negotiator about it. So now, the bank is not gonna get anything because we are gonna file for bankruptcy. United Debt did a great job and if anybody has to go through what we did, I would recommend them.

    We needed somebody to help us with our bills. We decided to call United Debt Counselors and somebody came over and helped us get signed up. They got my bills all lowered and got them paid off for me. They did a good job on it. The enrollment process wasn't that hard at all. When they told us how the payment plan worked, it went really smoothly. I worked with two people and they both did a good job. They kept us informed and all the times that I had questions, they were there to answer them. They called us every time that they got a bill that they were trying to get paid off. They got everybody's information and they did a real good job for us. The monthly payments were easy. They were automatically taken out of our check so we didn't have to worry about it.

    United Debt Counselors did all the work over the phone and that was easy for me because I can't get out very much. They settled all my debt. I just gave them the letters and told them that they can handle it. I had one person that didn't want to let the UDC rep have any information. The UDC rep ended up calling him back and told him that they would settle it. The company wasn't gonna settle at first but they were real nice about it after they heard from UDC. Now, I don't owe anybody any money. If somebody asks me about United Debt Counselors, I'd tell them to go ahead and go for it. They did the best job and they were honest about everything.

    I was in over my head with credit card debt and I needed help getting things paid off back to where I needed to be. For the amount of what the credit cards were costing me, the payment plan they came up with was great. It came to 388.03 a month and we worked with that until the debt was paid off. They also figured out how long it would take me to pay it off.

    The debt consultant I worked with was very good. I understood things and I always had a number if I needed to call to ask any questions. Every month, someone contacted me after my payment was made to make sure that everything was still okay with me with the payment plan. Everyone I talked to was very pleasant and helpful. They put me at ease that they would take care of my problem. At 78, I am debt-free. Since I did without the 388 payment I made for that many years, it is now getting put back. If anybody asked how I got out of debt, I'd refer them to United Debt Counselors. They are worth the money.

    I called United Debt Counselors and saw that it was a fit for me in settling my debt. I enrolled in their program and it was easy. I called them up, they took my information, I got some papers signed and I was off to the races. They arranged to consolidate my debt and lower it. I also called them several times to see where things were and how soon I would be finished. They told me that I will pay into the fund that I would be held and at the end of a certain time, the debt would be paid. And so, I paid on it and now, it’s finished. I'm satisfied with United Debt and I recommend it. It settled my debt in a number of months. I'm debt-free and I'll be able to enjoy my life.

    I was in the hospital and because of the hospital debt, I couldn't make all the payments as I had before. I contacted United Debt Counselors and enrolling with them was easily accomplished. I had to call because I don't have computers, and it was fine. Their representative was very knowledgeable and kind, and she helped a great deal. They were also nonjudgmental because it was a hard decision for me to make since if I hadn't landed in a hospital twice within a month, that wouldn't have happened. I would've continued to pay off the credit cards on my own after that. United took into account everything but if I had a question or a concern, they got back to me with a response the same day. If I happen to call later in the afternoon, they get back to me first thing in the morning. Right now, the debt is paid off and it’s definitely a relief.

    United Debt Counselors had the lowest monthly payments so I went with them. It was easy enrolling and I was impressed with the debt consultants whom I worked with. They have quick response and were able to answer all my questions. My payment plan with United Debt was based on the debt ratio and I have completed their program.

    The only complaint I have though is I’m on Social Security and if they had put the debt under my name, I would’ve had my Social Security taken for a little bit until they got the money to pay because it was something like I make money. I wasn’t told that that was gonna be a problem at all and I wish they would have told me that. Another thing that I had wasn’t aware of is that one of the people I owed money to wouldn’t settle, so I’m gonna have bad credit for seven to 10 years instead of just the four years that I was planning on. Nevertheless, working with United Debt Counselors did take a lot of stress away. It was very hard for us for the four years, but it was worth it because I am kind of debt free.

    I was broke and I was going deeper in debt. I had done some research and work, and United Debt Counselors has the best rating and program. It was pretty easy to get enrolled with them. I find the cost quite fair, and they based my payments on the debt that I had and divided it all out over a period of time. I only have one bill that they couldn’t pay which I guess was because the people would not agree at all since they’re a federal credit union. But other than that, United Debt Counselors had negotiated and did things in a timely manner. Their consultants have done so great with me and were very polite. They also answered all my questions during the three-year period and kept in touch with me every month. I have completed the program which really worked. Instead of retiring in about 10 years, I could retire this year. Overall, United Debt Counselors did a good job. I was perfectly satisfied with them.

    I had worked with United Debt a couple of years ago and they were dependable and honest. I called them again for another service and they sent out a representative. She went through all the papers with me. It was like signing for a mortgage but it was very complete, thorough and friendly. But there was a misunderstanding of why I was calling and it was a little difficult. She got her supervisor and she finally understood exactly what I wanted and how we wanted to set it up.

    They called me on a monthly basis to find out if I had any questions. When I did have a question about negotiations, they were right there for me. I didn't need to leave a message and had them call me back. The girl that answered took care of my problems. As of right now, I am out of debt. If I ever got into a position where I was in debt again, I would definitely call them.

    I received a letter and made the phone call to United Debt Counselors. I wanna know if the company was legit and then the rep who I spoke with explained everything, step-by-step. And then he recommended the person in the notary. They came to my house and we followed what the rep said. What they did was really good. I am debt-free right now. The best part was that when there was one company that didn’t wanna settle because I was making the minimum payments regularly, I had some money left over in my account. So they sent me the check, and I paid off that bank. It was great.

    Every time I called for anything that I needed, there were different people I spoke to. Everybody helped me out in answering my questions. It was a teamwork. I was very comfortable working with United Debt Counselors. Also, they told me the amount I would pay and asked if I was gonna be comfortable with a monthly payment. They told me step-by-step with that amount and what they would do. I was comfortable making that payment and it worked out very well. I really appreciate what United Debt Counselors did for me. I was very satisfied so I would recommend anybody because a lot of people don’t know exactly how this works.

    I just got a divorce. As the divorce wasn't my fault, I didn't want to have to pay Etsy, Amazon and everything linked to my credit cards. I needed to cut them off and let United Debt take care of that. Once they signed me up, they let me know what my payments would be a month. They asked me what my mortgage was and if I had any other payments. Then they started going with that to try to get my debts settled, preferably not with all the late charges. They kept in contact with me and got everything settled. We only ended up paying full price for one. With another, I got it at half-price. Now, I've graduated from the program and all my debt has been cleared. It ended up being cheaper to go through big settlements.

    As I was watching TV, United Debt Counselors was advertised and I loved it. At the same time, I was looking at all my credit card bills. I was doing monthly payments and the interest was killing me. I had gotten sick and I was on a short term disability, which didn’t even cover half of my check. No matter how much you make, New York State disability only allows you $170 a week. It was no way that my bills, my rent, life insurance and medical would have been covered. So, I decided to take all my credit cards and put them in a program. United Debt Counselors was the first one that popped up when I turned the TV on, so I went for it.

    The enrollment was done within the same day. When I called, the first agent I spoke with was David. I told him my situation and credit card history. He asked me some questions and I gave him the answers in one day. He said that a young lady was gonna call me within 24 or 48 hours, business days, and that she was gonna come by my home to sit down and talk. She called me the next day and came to me. She told me the process, how long it would take and my responsibility.

    The rep convinced me that I can trust the program with the identity theft and all the craziness that’s going on nowadays. She built up my confidence that I can trust giving her personal information - my personal security and my checking account number. I'm the type of person that’s very hard to get some information from, especially if I don’t feel comfortable, but she made me feel that I made the right decision in the program that I chose to help me with my credit card issue.

    The rep asked me the best week of the month that I can have the payment taken out of my checking account that would not interfere with my other bills like medicine, cable, life insurance, laundry, food, and cleaning bills. She said, “Well, you pick the day of the month, and it will only be on that day we will take out the payment. We won't interfere with any of your lifestyle.” It was the 15th of every month, but my pay period was every Wednesday and the 15th did not fall on the Wednesday of each month on the same date, and it was clashing with the due dates of my other bills. I said, “No. I have to pick a week where I don’t have bills to pay except my credit card payments.” And they allowed me to change the dates where it was perfect.

    However, I got laid off. I called the program and I explained my situation and I gave them any documents that they needed to check to verify my issue. They worked with me to cut my monthly payments by a few dollars. I was having them take out $331.98, so they cut it down to $302 when I was on unemployment, and it worked out perfectly. But they told me that I have to add an extra couple of months. I was originally supposed to be finished by July, but being that they had to cut my payments for a few dollars, I had to extend it to October, which I had no problems with.

    I was so relieved that I could pay them in 24 months. All my questions were answered and they called occasionally to check on me to see if everything was okay or if I had any concerns. Working with United Debt Counselors taught me a lesson. Too much of anything is not good for you and you can get lost and get carried away that you will find yourself in hot water real fast. The program also taught me that I have to be aware of my spending, my decisions and how it would impact my lifestyle. I've learned to not live above the means.

    And because of that experience, I recommended to some of my coworkers that they also put their credit cards in the United Debt solution, and they have. United Debt Counselors has some of my coworkers as clients now and some have the 18-month program, while one has the 24. And now, they are trying to convince their family members to also join the program. United Debt Counselors is doing excellent.
