Freedom Debt Relief & Freedomdebtrelief.com Evaluation

Freedom Debt Relief is one of the leading debt resolution providers in the country. Freedom Debt uses debt settlement and debt negotiation to help its clients resolve difficult debt burdens by cutting monthly cost, resolving debts for a discount, and shortening the time it takes to get debt free. They can be located at Freedom Debt Relief.

We've evaluated Freedom Debt Relief and here’s what we found:

  • They are one of the largest and appear to be one of the most established players in the debt relief field.
  • They work directly for the consumer, and do not receive any compensation from the creditor (which is how many alternative credit counseling firms work, where they get kick-backs from the credit card companies to get you to pay your debts back).
  • They are members of the Better Business Bureau, and have been members for many years.
  • The Founders have appeared in the press and news as consumer finance resources in places like the New York Times, LA Times, CNN, Stanford Business School Magazine, La Opinion and many others.
  • They are saving millions in credit card and other unsecured debt for their clients every month.

The program that they use lists three primary benefits: a lower monthly contribution than what a client’s old minimum payments were; cutting debts and the amount of principal owed; and getting their clients debt-free in a short amount of time. When Freedom Debt Relief negotiates down credit card debt, it allows their clients to save a smaller amount each month that is saved in an FDIC insured bank account in the client's name – resulting in those lower payments. Overall, it looks like a solid company for consumers who want low payments and to get debt free quickly.

It is important, however, to evaluate any program on its merits and on its downside. With a negotiated debt settlement program, the benefits come at the cost of a low credit rating during the program (don’t expect to get a loan or mortgage during a debt settlement program, and likely for at least a year after you graduate).
