Has anyone dealt with a company called Us Debt Relief before? I was approached by them and said they could help with a student debt relief program, and there were plenty of forms and such I had to go through for it making it seem rather legit as well as there being a case manager, his manager and someone else in between. They told me after 4 payments of $150 my monthly payments would drop to $19 a month and soon to $9 until my load forgiveness could be accepted. So I went along with it and had contact information for 3 different people working on my “Case” Saying that my student loans should soon be forgiven since The school I went to and their original lender actually turned out to be non legit and is being sued.. Though after they took just 2 monthly payments of the $150, they never extracted any more, and I emailed countless times to find out why it wasn’t being taken out monthly or having been changed to the $19, I emailed 3 of the ppl I had contact with and got nothing back the last 3 months. I even called all 3 phone numbers provided per person…Nothing…

Part of the consultation process for enlisting the help of a debt relief company typically involves the pulling of a credit report. The reason for the credit pull is to ensure all accounts that should be included in a plan are discussed as well as the reasons for not including specific creditors listed in the plan. In order to give the consumer an accurate idea of what the plan payments would be and ensure everything runs smoothly a credit pull is necessary part of the consultation. Â
It is advisable to do your research on the company prior to consulting or enrolling with a debt relief company. Always check their BBB rating and if possible see what current or previous consumers have had to say about the company.

With CareOne Debt Relief Services you have the option to do either a phone consultation with a certified credit counselor or an online assessment. You can get a general idea of possible payments by just providing your creditor information and current balances but in order to enroll you would need to provide your entire ss#.
I’m exploring personal debt relief options for myself.
You had an online article asking folks for comments/complaints/info about “Debt Relief Center”. I posted a comment on your article about this company and was wondering what your thoughts are on any so-called debt relief company asking for your complete social security number during the initial phone consult where they get your personal info.
What happened was I contacted the above company (I called the # listed on their website debtreliefcenter.org, 1-866-584-0769) and the gentleman who answered the phone started asking me relevant questions and I ended up giving him my full name, date of birth, current address and the last 4 of my social security #. But then he told me for some reason just that info alone wasn’t pulling up my credit report and that he’d need my complete social. I declined and then he politely said he couldn’t help me and then he hung up.
Now the only reason I could think he wasn’t able to obtain my credit report with the info I gave him (besides being a scammer) is that I do have a couple of previous home addresses for the past 5 years that I didn’t tell him about. But I know the credit reporting agencies (Transunion, Equifax, Experian) have ALL my addresses on file because I’ve seen my credit report multiple times over the last several years. So i really don’t know the deal is here.
Is it the norm for a debt company like this to ask for your complete social during the initial phone consulation where they gather your personal info? And given the scenario I outlined, and assuming the company was legitimate, why wouldn’t they be able to obtain my credit report without my full social security #?

BTW, who is trying steal the identity of consumers whose credit sucks??
I called the number on their website, 1-866-584-0769, for a debt consultation and the person who answered said he was from CareOne, which is a legitimate debt solutions company. After obtaining some general info about my debt accounts, as well as my name, address and the last 4 digits of my social security number the rep said he would need my complete social security # to pull my credit report. I told him i’m not comfortable with that and he abruptly ended the conversation.
Â
In my opinion if a company like this can’t pull your credit report with just your name, address and the last four digits of your social then they are to be avoided. In times like ours when identity theft is rampant you need to be very cautious especially over the phone when you don’t know the company or the person with whom you’re speaking. According to the Better Business Bureau this particular company, Debt Relief Center Inc, isn’t BBB accredited (although I believe CareOne is). It can get confusing who you’re dealing with so always research the company thoroughly before you start giving them all your personal info.
Â
My advice is to call CareOne directly, don’t use this Debt Relief Center. Even though it may in fact be a legitimate portal company and the person I was speaking with was in fact from CareOne there’s no way I’m giving out my complete SS# to a company (or somebody affiliated with said company) that isn’t itself BBB accredited.
