    A WEIGHT LIFTED
    The gentleman who assisted me made sure to thoroughly explain the more important points regarding the Debt Relief Program's benefits & expectations. And, he remained very professional & patient throughout my entire application process. When l ended my phone conversation I felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

    Debt
    They have been amazing to work with. They are very informative and I never wait too long to get on the phone with someone. It's easy to connect with someone and review my debt that gets consolidated. All I do is submit any correspondence from debt collectors and they contact me with any changes.

    When one maxes out their existing credit cards [which I have] and you're paying high interest rates [which I was] and other low interest rate debt consolidation companies wouldn't touch me, National Debt Relief stepped in and helped me with a program that works for me. I made this mess but they are helping me to fix it. Thank you!

    Finally Found a Solution
    National Debt Relief helped me find a solution. Diagnosed with Breast Cancer and did not know how much time, I would lose from 3 Surgeries and recoveries. I can only work part time due to Cancer treatment. I have tried everything to get financial aid but, it takes weeks before you know if, they will help you. I lost my day job for taking too much time off. My part time income is not enough to pay my debt and rent. Thank You so much for helping me Mallory in my time of need, to find a hardship program that will work for me, now!

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!

All associates with NDR have been professional and reassuring. As we enter the rest of the program, we'll see how the program really works and see how effective it is. Every step has been explained fully and I understand the process. I'm sure questions will arise and I hope the program works.

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.

Deborah of Knoxville, TN

Courteous and friendly
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.

Andrew of Aurora, CO

Initial enrollment
The level of knowledge, compassion and professionalism is outstanding. The representatives I dealt with took time to explain everything in a transparent manner. They were kind and not once passed judgment. I am looking forward to working with National Debt Relief.
