FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does your program work?

Our program helps clients secure better terms from their creditors.

We can help you:

 1. Reduce the overall amount you owe
 2. Resolve debt more quickly than you would by yourself
 3. Avoid the downfalls of bankruptcy and costly minimum payments

Creditors know that those experiencing financial hardship may never be able to
pay their debt or decide to declare bankruptcy. Our attorneys give creditors and
consumers an alternative to bankruptcy that is in everyone’s best interest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why should I work with an attorney during debt resolution?

Having a law firm in your corner during your financial hardship provides you
with legal representation, attorney oversight and a stronger stance that most
debt resolution programs cannot offer on their own.

Our attorneys have the industry experience necessary to support you during your
debt settlement journey. Ongoing legal support ensures that your program goes
smoothly throughout every phase of the program.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you help me if I am being sued for my debt?

We may be able to help slow down or assist in settling a lawsuit if you are sued
during your debt resolution program. We provide pro se legal document drafting
and attorney assistance at no additional cost to all of our clients.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you help stop creditor harassment?

If you believe you are the victim of wrongful conduct by a debt collector, call
us right away. We can help you determine what actions can be taken to achieve
the best possible outcome.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will seeking legal help for my debt affect my credit score?

Diverting your creditor payments during debt resolution creates the leverage
necessary to resolve your debts, but it can also temporarily impact your FICO
score.

Making your creditors wait for payment encourages them to lock in new terms and
agreements that will give you the best outcome like lower monthly payments and
long-term savings.

Throughout the process, you are the one in control — not your creditors. The
faster you complete your program, the faster you can work to improve your
overall creditworthiness.
