What People Are Saying

I feel honored that these people took the time to share their experiences. Their stories show what’s possible when you get honest advice without sales pitches.

Real Stories, Real Results

“You have changed people’s lives in an amazing way. I just wanted to make sure you knew what a profound difference you made, and how much your work is appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK! The world needs more people like you. You’re a gem.”

— Kristen (helped expose American Credit Shield scam with FTC)

“I followed your advice and glad to see a great change in my credit report. I used to have a horrible score of 305. Currently, I have a FICO score of 692, which I’m extremely happy about. This website has helped me tremendously, and I’m forever grateful!”

— Ericka

“Your website is a lifesaver and I just want people who come across you with credit problems, to know that you offer sound and valuable advice. You certainly saved my butt!

— Peggy (filed Chapter 7, now debt-free)

Stopping Scams Before They Start

“I almost fell for it. $1350 now, $1000 in a month while we wait for investigation. The red flag was when I googled the address—the lawyer name wasn’t there. You saved our family from further hardship. You’re a hero!

— Holly

“Thank god for people like you Steve. I’m separated, supporting 3 kids and working my ass off. This really would have messed me up more. Thank god I didn’t give them my bank account.

— Mommy_of_3

Getting Money Back

“I followed what you posted to a T and 20 days later I had a check in my mailbox for $780. Then this past month they deposited another $450 in my account. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

— Angie (recovered money from Freedom Debt Relief)

“Thanks to Steve and GetOutofDebt, we were able to recover enough to pay our bankruptcy lawyer. The education you provide is of the greatest value to people like us.
