    The agent was very helpful and he never stopped getting in touch with me—I am so relieved that I will have some breathing space—and that my loans will finally be paid off—I am hoping I made the right choice and that this will help me get out of the deep hole I am in.

    I was a NDR member previously. I was laid off for over 18 months so I could not make my monthly payments and felt hopeless because that was 18 months that I could have been building up my account. As I was a previous member and needed to be reinstated, Jason was wonderful in assisting me. He got me up and running. Very patient and professional. Thank you Jason. You really made my reinstatement seem effortless and pleasant.

    Due to COVID I’ve gotten myself into some debt, I was at work and overheard a coworker talking about how she got out of debt, I didn’t ask her whom she went through so I just decided to do some research on my own. I made a phone call to National Debt Relief. They were honestly so helpful very transparent on how the program works and I told the gentleman whom assisted me Allen, "Why didn’t I do this sooner", "Better late than never" his response. Allen made things very easy on helping me become debt free, I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to get back on their feet after a few hard years.

    Alot of information explained very well
    Being new to this type of program, I had a lot of questions and I was very worried about entering into such a large commitment. I did my homework looking for the #1 rated company that's earned its clients trust. That search led me to NDR and helped me feel confident enough to contact them. I have just started the program and I feel confident I chose correctly. It's a lot of info to understand and trust. That trust is critical when you're making the decision to take the first steps and let your accounts go into collections after never missing a payment! And that is exactly what I am doing. I am excited to get thru this and grateful I found the right company to help me do it. The real review will be the one I leave in 45 months that will be talking about how it all went smoothly and successfully! Thank you!

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.
