From first contact to final payoff

Four stages, and you can stop at any of them. Nothing is charged and nothing is enrolled until you have seen every option in writing and picked one.

Free, unpressured consultation

One conversation, roughly forty minutes. We look at every balance, your income and what is actually left at the end of the month. Nothing is enrolled and nothing is charged. If your situation does not need us, that is a perfectly good outcome and we will tell you.

A written comparison of your options

You receive every realistic route laid out side by side — settlement, consolidation, a management plan, refinancing, or doing nothing differently — with cost, duration, credit impact and risk for each. Including the routes we earn nothing from.

You choose, we build the plan

Once you pick a direction, the plan is built around your real budget rather than an optimistic one. You see the monthly figure, the projected end date and the fee structure in writing before anything begins.

We execute and keep you informed

Negotiations, filings and disbursements are handled for you. Every offer comes back for your written approval. You always know which stage each account is at, and a real person replies when you get in touch.

Before you get in touch

What to have to hand

None of this is mandatory — we can work from rough figures — but the more accurate your numbers, the more accurate the comparison we send back.

  • A recent statement for each debt, or just the balance and rate
  • Your monthly take-home income
  • Rough monthly essentials: housing, utilities, food, transport
  • Any letters from collectors, courts or the IRS
  • Your state of residence — it changes what is available

Questions about the process

What people ask at this stage

Nothing. The consultation, the budget review and the written comparison of your options are all free and carry no obligation. You are not enrolled in anything by having the conversation.

That depends on the route. Consolidation can complete within a week. A management plan takes 30 to 60 days for creditor acceptance. Settlement usually produces its first resolved account between month four and month ten. We give you a projected timeline before you commit, not after.

Settlement will lower it, often substantially, because enrolled accounts go delinquent while your fund builds. A management plan has a milder effect. Consolidation may improve your score over time by reducing utilization. Which of those applies to you is part of the written comparison.

Most people see meaningful recovery beginning within twelve to twenty-four months of accounts being resolved, provided new credit is handled well. Recovery is gradual and depends on the rest of your file, so anyone quoting you a specific score by a specific date is guessing.
