    Great service
    It was very hard for me to pick up that phone and call, but once I did I did not regret it! They were very professional with how they treated me and my situation. They took the time to listen and work out a program that suited me. I am very thankful and grateful that there is a program out there for someone like myself.

    My representative Fatima was amazing. She answered all my quacky and concerned questions and took almost three hours with me on the phone. I was very concerned that I be able to afford the payment monthly and I wanted all questions answered because this is signing a contract and it's very important to understand. When I tell you she is passionate about what she does it is a understatement. Please hire her to management she is awesome. Not exaggerating at all this is facts.

Mel gave me the information I needed, and several options as I requested and was completely patient when I asked for time to talk it over with my husband. He scheduled a follow-up call with me, which ended up not being necessary because my husband agreed with what I was saying and we called back and got the process started immediately. Mel is so knowledgeable, he answered all our questions and made the whole process seem less daunting and stress-free! Thank you, Mel for your exceptional service!

This process was relatively easy. No one wants to have to call and ask help but once you get past that and call, they don't treat you like you're less of a person for getting yourself into this position. I greatly appreciated that!

I worked with Jeff who walked me through the process of the application and explained everything very professionally and efficiently. He really took his time and explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions. On my Welcome Call, I spoke with Rosa who also took her time and explained everything. Both of these people made the process very simple and were very efficient and professional. I was initially very nervous about this and they both made me feel very much at ease.

Courteous and friendly. Royce did a great job in explaining the program and I feel confident I will be taken care of. It feels good to be on the right path to get rid of debt and begin to save money instead of hemorrhage it. Thanks for your help, looking forward to writing another glaring review at the end of my program.
