3 Top Debt Consolidation Companies: tryascend.com/debt-relief/company/3-top-debt-relief-companies Can you call or text me at 833-272-3631 with your questions?
I started listening to Dave Ramsey on how to get out of debt I also almost signed up for debt consolidation I’m happy that I found Dave Ramsey and also your channel to help me to know the difference . Running away from consolidation program right now. I worked way to hard on my credit just to have a program , stop paying on my cards . 😮 thankyou
This is really encouraging to me, so thanks for sharing these kind words! Yeah, for some people, they may have to stop paying due to financial hardship, but the key is that you know what these companies are doing before you enroll. Are you thinking of doing something like a snowball or avalanche or savvy method to prioritize debt or can you make extra payments each month? Thanks again --Ben
I was almost at a verge of signing for debt consolidation program and I had no idea, the backend story could've been chaotic. Getting loan not the program, thanks again.
I have been saved although I have weighed my options but and the only one I can get approved for is the consolidation program and I’ve been on the fence about it but thx to you Dave I won’t fall victim
I am so glad I just came by your TH-cam video, I was this close into signing a Debt Consolidation Program with Brice Capital! So glad I didn't, everything sounded great over the phone until I started researching the company and saw they have a grade F on BBB. Thanks again!
Finally someone who understands just because we're become a more technologically advanced as a society it's no reason to treat people more like numbers and less like human beings!
I’ve been thinking of getting a consolidation loan because I have 4 cards but all with a pretty low balance. I can pay these off with my current income without too much trouble but I just find the process of paying off 4 companies quite annoying and I’m worried I’ll forget one. Do you think it’s a good idea? Or should I just suck it up and pay them off normally.
This is a fantastic question. If you can get a lower rate (even when considering origination fee), you may save money with a debt consolidation loan and the annoyances of paying off 4 cards. I think the challenge I've seen with working with so many people is when they get a consolidation loan to consolidate credit cards but don't use the full proceeds to payoff the credit cards, so unfortunately, their entire amount increases. Could you let me know if you have any questions? -Ben
I'm 23k in credit card debt paying around $820 on everything with 100% on time payments and 710 credit score. But I need an extra 7k or 8k to fix my van which is my main source of income before it dies (transmission). Definitely need a loan instead of a debt consolidation, any recommendations?
Go to credit karma, at the bottom hit loans , enter the amount you like and a list of providers should pop up , I went with up start , had 591 credit score got 20k cash , then best egg years later gave me 10k with 600 credit score.
Followed your link to Pacific Debt Relief and they were amazing at getting me on the right path! Thank you so much I was hesitant I needed a loan but your video saved me from even more debt, wow!
Would it be better for me to be a loan lender or go through a bank for a debt consplidation loan. I'm trying to help my mom with her $30,000's of debt while also trying to suppliment my own income to save for a house in my lifetime. She used to be financially irresponsible but now that she's older and wiser I want to give her the financial freedom she deserves before she retires or dies. 💪
I have a family member who opened up every major credit card under my name and racked up 22k worth of debt. I was wondering with a credit score of 560 what is the best company to get a debt consolidation loan?
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear that. Have you filed a fraud claim on these? If not, I think it would be hard to get a consolidation loan at that score, but could you call me at 833-272-3631? Id have some questions on balances and how past due.
It looks like There are no options if u have been denied a loan everywhere, except to pay off your credit cards somehow, on your own, and try to not use them to get your credit score back up.
When it comes to loans, it may be difficult to qualify. But you do have other options- bankruptcy, debt settlement, and debt management. As for only loans, companies are looking for specific criteria.
Thank you for letting me know! Yeah, I really hope that this video helps! Also, I mentioned this before, but as I'd like to be more accessible to my TH-cam viewers, I am now having free quick chats. So, if helpful, would you book something on my calendar: calendly.com/ben-tejes-ascend/free-chat? Thanks - Ben
In the contract it should say something about being able to cancel anytime, however, once accounts are settled then you may have to make those payments. If you have other questions, call us at 833-272-3631!
That was very informative thank you ! Almost got into till I knew the difference ! Not to mention even if you decide to go the route of consolidation your creditor won’t receive the fund anytime sooner ! They said it will take between 6 months to 9 months before they pay partial of it ! So definitely not gonna happened .
i was talking to a company and talked 30 minuter before i realized this was a debt consolidation and not a loan.he told i did not qualify for the loan.cant anyone in this corrupt world be straight up??????
Yeah, unfortunately, many debt relief companies use loans as a marketing point to get them into other programs as they aren't able to qualify.... even when they mention that they are pre-qualified. Always clarify if you would be asked to fall behind on accounts, this would be a big indicator of what they are offering you as loans would not require you to fall behind.
I am in the same situation I singed for a debt consolidation company who promise a loan after 6 months, been paying them for 8 months and got refused the loan , now setteld only 2 of 7 accounts in full balance , thay asking me for debt settlement with monthly payments for the 3ad one but that gone hurt my fico credit score evan worse…what should I do now stick with them or do it my myself when I have the money !?
Thanks for sharing. 2 of 7 for no discount and full balance? Why no discount? Would you be able to give me a call at 833-272-3631? Either me or someone on my team would love to hear more context.
Hi please help me, I have 22k debt due to gambling and my credit score became so bad 575 😢 I had really good credit and after gambling out of no where I lost so much msg chasing after losses all my savings and now 22k debt. How do I get debt loan and still keep my credit so I can build my score.
Hi, absolutely, this may be a bit more technical than what I can offer in a comment, so would it be possible to give me a call at 833-272-3631? Thanks - Ben
Do you have any input/knowledge regarding the company “Upside” when it comes to debt loans? I was told today to check them out but I remembered the person telling me they sent money to his account the very next day which sounds like a program as you mentioned. Also, for someone with a small amount of debt (under 5k) with a 720+ credit score, is there any company you would recommend looking into for one too consider with the best APR? I completely understand this information you would give someone too consider is only an opinion and is NOT, financial advise.
Thanks for the message. I have not heard of them. The only 3 loan consolidation companies that we vetted heavily are these: tryascend.com/consolidate. I believe these options may provide loans with minimum debt amount of $1000. And yeah, it can be helpful to compare rates across multiple options (if you have the time) as many only do a soft check. Could you let me know if you have any other questions? Thanks! -Ben
No!! It was not. Because you are basically trying to confuse more. There are TWO WORDS in Debt Consolidation!! One is the debt ( you are already into it ) the other is the consolidation ( meaning pulling all your debt into one payment ). You are already screwed due to the interest rates. So your only consideration should be will you end up paying more due to consolidation and whether you will be able to reduce your burden on monthly instalments. Remember - Nothing is Free!!!
Hey there Fazlur, so to confuse you more regarding the topic of debt consolidation. You are right there, nothing is free, but that doesn't mean there aren't options that lighten the burden. This video was primarily focused on communicating the difference between a consolidation loan and a consolidation program because they are often marketed side by side. We want to help people understand these options and the many others available to them. If you would like to chat with our team to clear up any confusion feel free to text or call us at (833)272-3631.
Thank you for info. I wonder if the low 3.86% interest rate offering in the mail is true. What is the minimum interest rate usually offer for DC loans?
I don't think so as the federal funds rate (banks lending to banks) is over 5%. There's HUGE news that I just shared in this video about CFPB suing an entity: th-cam.com/video/syGvI1C5jr4/w-d-xo.html!
So I was thinking of signing up for PDS debt. I have some high interest cards I’ve been making payments on but they don’t seem to go down no matter how much I over pay.
Agh, I know how stressful it can be with those high interest cards. Give us a call or text at (833)272-3631 and someone on my team can talk you through your options to ensure you are choosing the most beneficial option to your situation.
I’m curious to know if a debt consolidation loan has a negative impact on your credit. I am clear on the difference between a loan in the program. I am referring to a debt consolidation loan. Thank you great video
Hey Sonia, thanks for the question! It may have a slight impact one you actually get the loan because of the new hard enquiry, but if you consolidate and payoff debt faster your credit score may go up!
I need help to get rid of credit cards debt. I owe half of one house, paying for the one I live in. My sister passed in 2018. She own the other half of the house that I own half on. Her kids didn't want to open her estate because of her hospital bills. So can I force them to buy me out.
Good luck in your research! Consolidation loans can be quite tricky to get at a beneficial rate. If you need any help shopping or discussing other options if what you are looking at isn't beneficial we are always available to chat at (833)272-3631.
That's a tricky question. What are you going to collateralize to get that loan? What's the interest rate? What are the chance that you go delinquent on that collateralized loan?
If I call a credit card company that I have a credit card from. Would they consolidate all my credit cards and take the debt. Wouldn’t it benefit them by the interest they make and it would benefit me by paying 1 card and maybe they might give me a better interest rate. I’m I totally wrong or correct thank you.
I am from the UK, I am looking at getting a loan to pay off my car credit card. The rate is 29% my car and credit card are both 34% APR. I think this is the best for me as my credit card never changes I will pay off a certain amount then I will have used that and more by the end of the month as I cant control myself. Will this be a good idea for me to go down this route?
Hey Josh! It really depends on the loan. What company were you thinking to apply to? You would want to check the APR and how long you have to pay it off because you want to make sure it is feasible and you can make the monthly payments so it doesn't just turn into another unsecured debt account that you are unable to pay back. Give us a call at 833-272-3631 if you have questions!
Thanks - I do not think federal student loans could be added to a debt consolidation program. Check this out: studentaid.gov/manage-loans/consolidation
Now what if I have applied for the loans and no one approved me and I have some credit cards that I am current with but they are not going down what can I do
You will need to review the terms laid out in the contract that was signed. Often times we see individuals able to cancel the contract without consequences but know that are situations in which there are.
I’ve got about $10,000 in credit card debt due to unexpected life events and the payments on the cards and bills eat up almost every paycheck and it seems that I’m getting nowhere fast. What can I do?
Hey Preston! So sorry to hear about your situation, hope everything is okay. Give my team a text or call at (833)272-3631 and we would be more than willing to talk over your options.
Hey Steve, is the debt behind or is it paid on time? Any payday loans or high interest or mainly credit cards? Would it be helpful to jump on a quick call? If so, please call 833-272-3631 and we can chat about what you're looking at, goals, etc.. Thanks - Ben
Is it possible to be approved for a "debt consolidation program" (not a lone) if you're only documented income is SSI? (other income is under the table). Thanks
Yes you could! I'd encourage you to check out bankruptcy as well to see if that would be a good option for you first especially if your income is SSI. Many times bankruptcy can be a cheaper, easier, faster option to deal with your debt and can be easier to come back from! Depends on your situation though. Shoot me a text if you want to have someone look over your case with you for free! 833 272 3631
Hey there Jason, we do have some companies we recommend but it depends on where you are located. Give my team a call or text at (833)272-3631 to go over your situation there and get you connected to a recommended company.
Dear Dave Ramsey, can parent plus loans be included in a debt consolidation program? or only be postponed in a bankruptcy? the program I agreed to start 2 days ago, is where I pay 1,400 a month, for 5 years, for 110,000 in debt, mostly uncovered medical, and 54.00 is included in the pmt as insurance for an attorney to keep creditors from contacting me. it is saving me 3500 a month in minimum cc payments that I can't afford anyway. And now my parent plus loans have risen with the interest rate, and this may force me into bankruptcy. I am unsure what to do. any advice? Any input is so appreciated, Thank You
Hey! We are not Dave Ramsey, we're Ascend Finance. In bankruptcy, it discharges the debt in a chapter 7 so you include all unsecured debt and it is wiped away so you do not pay on it. Is this program you signed up with for a loan or debt settlement?
I have $30,000 in debt also a score of 650-700, I'm probably paying about $ $700 a month in interest.. these are all about 8 to 10 different credit cards.. should I consolidate?
Thanks for the email. So, from your credit score, I'd estimate that you are current with high interest credit card debt. In this case, if you can get a loan, then check out the interest rates and origination fee. If credit counseling, then you'd look at what the nonprofit credit counseling agency can negotiate the interest rate to. If possible, any interest in chatting? If so, give us a call at 833-272-3631. Thanks!
Just tried calling the number you left at the end of the video! It just went to voicemail at 11am MST. Is that normal? Haha just want to have a little help if possible.
Hi! I'm so sorry to hear that. It depends on what your goals are. We'd be more than happy to chat through it if you want to text/call us at 833-272-3631.
Hi there, we are primarily concerned with communicating information and clearing up confusion regarding relief options. Feel free to give my team a call or text at (833)272-3631 to talk over things.
Hey Diego, you generally setup a monthly draft account and then they pull the payments from your bank account. That said, did you explore other option before doing debt consolidation? If not, consider giving me a call at 833-272-3631.
Thanks, no need to be scared! Would it be helpful to walk through process and answer any questions you have? If so, here's my calendar you can book phone call with me directly - tryascend.com/b
I totally get it. I'd be curious to understand your cash flow and sustainability on things. If you'd like to chat, give my team a call or text at 833-272-3631.
Hi there, we are sorry to hear about your situation there. How to approach your debt depends on a number of more factors. Feel free to text my team at (833)272-3631 to go over your situation and to get personalized explanations.
Not necessarily, it just depends on your goal and where your debt is at. The debt settlement programs mentioned in the video can be a big side step in the wrong direction for individuals as it requires you to be behind on your payments in order to negotiate. Many people are current on their payments and are seeking a consolidation loan to stay current, so a settlement program is counterintuitive. Settlement programs do have their place as a debt relief option, but it's not for everyone.
what should you do if you have a lot of collections and cant get approved for apts, loans etc. I got a builder cc and was thinking about consolidation but nvm😂
Great question! If it's mainly collections, I'd need to understand how much and who the debt is with, as you may be able to approach it a few ways. Would you mind giving me a call at 833-272-3631? I can go through your situation with you!
Very helpful information, thank you! I have about $50K in credit card debt. I own small business that generates about $1200/mo. My credit score is about 650. Which debt consolidation company would you recommend I contact?
Hey JT, thanks for the information. Are you current? I'd want to ask more questions - any chance you can book time on my calendar to chat: calendly.com/ben-tejes-ascend/free-chat?back=1&month=2024-01?
I just signed up with American Debt Relief. They auto draft my account and put that in a Global Financial FDIC backed savings account. The accounts that i am setting are current as of this comment. Did i do right?
Question for you - do ou have to go behind on the debt? Is it mainly credit cards? What are the banks that the credit cards are with? Did the company go through whether you will be likely to be sued? If helpful, give me a call at 833-272-3631. Debt relief can be a good option, but I like to understand all the variables. -Ben
@@AscendFinance Yes i have to go delinquent on them first. Guess now thats why they told me not to make anymore payments and let them ADR deal with them. Yes two CC's both Capital One. Iv been paying $360 a month on both for several months, just enuff to keep them off my back. $13,000 in total CC debt.
@@AscendFinance they didn't use the phrase "you could get sued" but i think they said its guna get a lil worse before it gets better hahaha. They seem really transparent, the savings account set up for the auto draft is FDIC backed which for some reason makes me feel a lil better. They actually called me today for a follow up and to see if i had any questions as we move forward. They have an online portal thing they are really advocating for me to set up so we can communicate and track status there.
Thank you so much for explaining! Did they explain the fees? What are they charging? Did they explain HOW they are going to settle the accounts? Feel free to call us at 833-272-3631 if you want to discuss in more detail!
Hey Micah, great question. So, we like these 2 companies quite a lot: tryascend.com/consolidate because of 1) Doesn't affect credit score when checking your rate. 2) No pre-payment penalties. 3) Been in business for quite some time. 4) Has thousands of reviews. That said, what may be helpful to consider is origination fee and interest rate and confirm that it is a better interest rate than credit cards consolidating. Also, is the rate better than all your credit cards or just some of them? Could you let me know if you have any other questions? Thanks for watching - Ben
Hey Kameaike, what are the fees that you are being offered for both services? Could you give us a text or call at 833-272-3631 as I'd like to understand more about your finances to provide information and options? Thanks - Ben
Hey Taylor, thanks, I may need a bit more information. Are these loans current or in forbearance? Are you wondering what would happen if you added these to debt settlement?
@@AscendFinance they are on hold right now. I start the full payments in August and don’t know if there is any place I can go to get a lower interest rate, longer term, and smaller monthly payment. My payment is going to be around $1000/month
So sorry for the delay! We may be able to help chat through some options you have, give us a call at 833-272-3631 if you feel like you still need some relief.
I am $25k in credit card debt, I am barely making ends meet. What route should I take so I can make lower monthly payments on my high interest credit cards? Eventually I’d like to pay it all off much sooner, but high interest credit cards are killing me right now
So sorry to hear about your situation there. I know how stressful it can be. To help you understand your best options going forward we do need more context to discern what you would qualify for. Feel free to give my team a call or text at (833)272-3631 to chat about things.
Im confused, i have 4 personal loans that I cant afford atm, I dontnwant my credit score to drop to bad. What do you recommend I do? Can you offer a good site or program for me?
Oh, I am so sorry if there is confusion. With this video are trying to help people understand the consolidation program they are signing up for. The marketing around some settlement programs can be presented in such a way that people think they are getting approved for consolidation loans, which is not the case. What is it that you don't agree with?
You may consider doing so, especially if you find that you struggle with not paying off your credit cards in time and have an issue spending more than you have.
True if you go behind on your payments, your creditors have the right to sue you and try to collect that debt through a judgement. If you are enrolled with a debt settlement company when they sue, the debt settlement company's job is still to try to settle the debt before you go to court. There are a few reputable debt settlement companies. If you want to find a reputable firm that serves your area take this calculator: tryascend.com/embed/qualify-debt-relief-comparison/yt You can also compare other options to get out of debt with that calculator.
It really depends on your priorities and where the debt is currently at. There is not a one size fits all when it comes to the best way to pay off debt. Feel free to call my team at (833)272-3631 to get a free consultation to talk over your options and help you understand the pros and cons.

Depends on the interest rate for the credit card balance versus the consolidation
Thanks for sharing!
This is a fantastic question. If you can get a lower rate (even when considering origination fee), you may save money with a debt consolidation loan and the annoyances of paying off 4 cards.

Happy to provide the info!
It looks like There are no options if u have been denied a loan everywhere, except to pay off your credit cards somehow, on your own, and try to not use them to get your credit score back up.
When it comes to loans, it may be difficult to qualify. But you do have other options- bankruptcy, debt settlement, and debt management. As for only loans, companies are looking for specific criteria.
@@AscendFinancewhat specific criterias exactly are they looking for in order to get a loan and not the program?
Thank you for your advice. This almost happened to me today. I backed out before I could sign anything. 😮

Hi please help me, I have 22k debt due to gambling and my credit score became so bad 575 😢 I had really good credit and after gambling out of no where I lost so much msg chasing after losses all my savings and now 22k debt. How do I get debt loan and still keep my credit so I can build my score.
Hi, absolutely, this may be a bit more technical than what I can offer in a comment, so would it be possible to give me a call at 833-272-3631? Thanks - Ben
@@AscendFinancecan you help me my score is 610 but I’m overwhelmed with credit
Is debt settlement and credit modification the same? I’ve recently been pitched a credit modification but it sound exactly like a settlement.
It seems like the same thing, but would you be able to send me the name of the company either via text or call at 833-272-3631.
Do you have any input/knowledge regarding the company “Upside” when it comes to debt loans? I was told today to check them out but I remembered the person telling me they sent money to his account the very next day which sounds like a program as you mentioned. Also, for someone with a small amount of debt (under 5k) with a 720+ credit score, is there any company you would recommend looking into for one too consider with the best APR? I completely understand this information you would give someone too consider is only an opinion and is NOT, financial advise.
Thanks for the message. I have not heard of them. The only 3 loan consolidation companies that we vetted heavily are these: tryascend.com/consolidate. I believe these options may provide loans with minimum debt amount of $1000. And yeah, it can be helpful to compare rates across multiple options (if you have the time) as many only do a soft check. Could you let me know if you have any other questions? Thanks! -Ben
I used them and I really like it. Mine was upside with Alliant. I got the money the next business day
You should look into a balance transfer offer with a new credit card. Seek one with longer terms like 15 months or more and low dee

Thanks for sharing your experience!
No!! It was not. Because you are basically trying to confuse more. There are TWO WORDS in Debt Consolidation!! One is the debt ( you are already into it ) the other is the consolidation ( meaning pulling all your debt into one payment ). You are already screwed due to the interest rates. So your only consideration should be will you end up paying more due to consolidation and whether you will be able to reduce your burden on monthly instalments.
Remember - Nothing is Free!!!
Hey there Fazlur, so to confuse you more regarding the topic of debt consolidation. You are right there, nothing is free, but that doesn't mean there aren't options that lighten the burden. This video was primarily focused on communicating the difference between a consolidation loan and a consolidation program because they are often marketed side by side. We want to help people understand these options and the many others available to them. If you would like to chat with our team to clear up any confusion feel free to text or call us at (833)272-3631.
Thank you for info. I wonder if the low 3.86% interest rate offering in the mail is true. What is the minimum interest rate usually offer for DC loans?
I don't think so as the federal funds rate (banks lending to banks) is over 5%. There's HUGE news that I just shared in this video about CFPB suing an entity: th-cam.com/video/syGvI1C5jr4/w-d-xo.html!
So I was thinking of signing up for PDS debt. I have some high interest cards I’ve been making payments on but they don’t seem to go down no matter how much I over pay.
Agh, I know how stressful it can be with those high interest cards. Give us a call or text at (833)272-3631 and someone on my team can talk you through your options to ensure you are choosing the most beneficial option to your situation.
I’m curious to know if a debt consolidation loan has a negative impact on your credit. I am clear on the difference between a loan in the program. I am referring to a debt consolidation loan.
Thank you great video
Hey Sonia, thanks for the question! It may have a slight impact one you actually get the loan because of the new hard enquiry, but if you consolidate and payoff debt faster your credit score may go up!
I need help to get rid of credit cards debt. I owe half of one house, paying for the one I live in. My sister passed in 2018. She own the other half of the house that I own half on. Her kids didn't want to open her estate because of her hospital bills. So can I force them to buy me out.
I'm so sorry about this Virginia. Could you give us a call back? Thanks.
@@AscendFinance hello
Hi! Anything we could help with?
Good information-I want to get la consolidation loan. No problem paying but want to avoid high interest and be done with it. I’m shopping….
Good luck in your research! Consolidation loans can be quite tricky to get at a beneficial rate. If you need any help shopping or discussing other options if what you are looking at isn't beneficial we are always available to chat at (833)272-3631.
Should I do a collateralized loan to pay off my credit cards
That's a tricky question. What are you going to collateralize to get that loan? What's the interest rate? What are the chance that you go delinquent on that collateralized loan?
If I call a credit card company that I have a credit card from. Would they consolidate all my credit cards and take the debt. Wouldn’t it benefit them by the interest they make and it would benefit me by paying 1 card and maybe they might give me a better interest rate. I’m I totally wrong or correct thank you.
Thanks, if they take the rest of the debt onto a new or existing line, then it may be too risky for them instead of diversification.
Thank You for explaining...is important information
You are most welcome!
I am from the UK, I am looking at getting a loan to pay off my car credit card. The rate is 29% my car and credit card are both 34% APR. I think this is the best for me as my credit card never changes I will pay off a certain amount then I will have used that and more by the end of the month as I cant control myself. Will this be a good idea for me to go down this route?
Hey Josh! It really depends on the loan. What company were you thinking to apply to? You would want to check the APR and how long you have to pay it off because you want to make sure it is feasible and you can make the monthly payments so it doesn't just turn into another unsecured debt account that you are unable to pay back. Give us a call at 833-272-3631 if you have questions!
I don't have credit card debt but school loan's debt which debt consolidation company should I apply at?
Thanks, is it federal or private loan debt? Do you know interest rate? Thanks! -Ben
@@AscendFinance it's a federal student loan. I don't know the interest rate.
Thanks - I do not think federal student loans could be added to a debt consolidation program. Check this out: studentaid.gov/manage-loans/consolidation
Now what if I have applied for the loans and no one approved me and I have some credit cards that I am current with but they are not going down what can I do
I would love to chat through this with you- give us a call at 833-272-3631 and we can go over some options you have.
If I made the mistake of entering the wrong debt consolidation can I break the contract without consequences?
You will need to review the terms laid out in the contract that was signed. Often times we see individuals able to cancel the contract without consequences but know that are situations in which there are.

Is it possible to be approved for a "debt consolidation program" (not a lone) if you're only documented income is SSI? (other income is under the table). Thanks
Yes you could! I'd encourage you to check out bankruptcy as well to see if that would be a good option for you first especially if your income is SSI. Many times bankruptcy can be a cheaper, easier, faster option to deal with your debt and can be easier to come back from! Depends on your situation though. Shoot me a text if you want to have someone look over your case with you for free! 833 272 3631

Dear Dave Ramsey, can parent plus loans be included in a debt consolidation program? or only be postponed in a bankruptcy? the program I agreed to start 2 days ago, is where I pay 1,400 a month, for 5 years, for 110,000 in debt, mostly uncovered medical, and 54.00 is included in the pmt as insurance for an attorney to keep creditors from contacting me. it is saving me 3500 a month in minimum cc payments that I can't afford anyway. And now my parent plus loans have risen with the interest rate, and this may force me into bankruptcy. I am unsure what to do. any advice? Any input is so appreciated, Thank You
Hey! We are not Dave Ramsey, we're Ascend Finance. In bankruptcy, it discharges the debt in a chapter 7 so you include all unsecured debt and it is wiped away so you do not pay on it. Is this program you signed up with for a loan or debt settlement?
What do i do if i have a high credit score card debt but don’t qualify for a consolidation loan? Thanks
Hmmm... hard to say without more context. Feel free to give my team a call or text at (833)272-3631 to chat over your options.
I have $30,000 in debt also a score of 650-700, I'm probably paying about $ $700 a month in interest.. these are all about 8 to 10 different credit cards.. should I consolidate?
Thanks for the email. So, from your credit score, I'd estimate that you are current with high interest credit card debt. In this case, if you can get a loan, then check out the interest rates and origination fee. If credit counseling, then you'd look at what the nonprofit credit counseling agency can negotiate the interest rate to. If possible, any interest in chatting? If so, give us a call at 833-272-3631.

Ok so wait...the loan is good and the program is not?
Not necessarily, it just depends on your goal and where your debt is at. The debt settlement programs mentioned in the video can be a big side step in the wrong direction for individuals as it requires you to be behind on your payments in order to negotiate. Many people are current on their payments and are seeking a consolidation loan to stay current, so a settlement program is counterintuitive. Settlement programs do have their place as a debt relief option, but it's not for everyone.
what should you do if you have a lot of collections and cant get approved for apts, loans etc. I got a builder cc and was thinking about consolidation but nvm😂
Great question! If it's mainly collections, I'd need to understand how much and who the debt is with, as you may be able to approach it a few ways. Would you mind giving me a call at 833-272-3631? I can go through your situation with you!

Hey Micah, great question.

Also, is the rate better than all your credit cards or just some of them? Could you let me know if you have any other questions? Thanks for watching - Ben

You may consider doing so, especially if you find that you struggle with not paying off your credit cards in time and have an issue spending more than you have.

Keep it Simple.
Thanks for the feedback. I always appreciate the constructive feedback!
In other words don’t trust no body and pay Your cards otherwise they can sue you
True if you go behind on your payments, your creditors have the right to sue you and try to collect that debt through a judgement. If you are enrolled with a debt settlement company when they sue, the debt settlement company's job is still to try to settle the debt before you go to court. There are a few reputable debt settlement companies.
