The price is clearly displayed before you purchase a service. You will be able to review the price and what is included before making your payment.

Services identified as a one-time purchase are charged once for that service. They are not monthly debt-program payments or ongoing settlement fees.

We clearly identify the price of the service before purchase. We do not automatically enroll you in a debt settlement program or charge ongoing settlement fees simply because you purchased our educational service.

No. We do not charge you a percentage of your enrolled debt or a percentage of a negotiated settlement because we are not providing debt settlement or debt negotiation services.

Refund and cancellation eligibility depends on the service purchased and whether work on the service has already begun or been delivered. Please review the refund and cancellation terms displayed with your purchase for the applicable policy.

No. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We do not sell your personal information as a lead to debt settlement companies or other third parties.

We do not sell your information to third parties for them to market debt services to you. Any limited sharing necessary to operate the service is governed by our Privacy Policy.

For a personalized assessment, financial information is necessary to understand the situation you are asking us to review. We request information relevant to preparing the service you purchased.

You should never send sensitive login credentials such as your online banking or creditor-account passwords unless a specific secure process expressly requires information and explains why. Follow the information requirements provided when completing your service questionnaire.

We treat the information you submit as private information and use it to provide and administer the services you request. Details about the types of information collected, how it is used, service providers involved, retention, and your privacy rights are explained in our Privacy Policy.

Review the information in your package, including your current situation, potential options, and suggested next steps. You then decide which direction, if any, you want to pursue. You remain in control of the decision.

Your personalized assessment can identify and explain options that may be relevant based on the information you provide. The purpose is to help you compare possibilities—not to make the final decision for you.

No. The information we provide is educational and informational. You decide what actions, if any, you want to take based on your circumstances.

Yes. Consumers can communicate directly with their creditors. Our educational information may help you become better organized and prepared before having those conversations.

Do not ignore court papers or legal deadlines. Because we are not a law firm and cannot provide legal advice or representation, you should consider promptly contacting a qualified attorney or appropriate legal-assistance resource.

Debt options can change when your income, expenses, account status, balances, or other circumstances change. If your situation changes substantially, previously prepared information may need to be reconsidered based on your new circumstances.

No. We provide educational information and personalized guidance. We do not enroll you in a debt settlement program, collect settlement funds, or negotiate with creditors on your behalf.

Consumers can communicate directly with their creditors. Whether you choose to handle communications yourself or obtain assistance from another professional is your decision.

Purchasing educational information from us does not itself constitute a debt settlement enrollment. However, actions you later take regarding your debts—such as missed payments, settlements, new loans, or other account changes—may affect your credit. Credit effects depend on the actions taken and your individual credit history.

No. We do not instruct you to stop paying creditors. Decisions about payments can have significant financial and credit consequences and should be evaluated carefully based on your circumstances.

No. Every creditor establishes its own policies and makes its own decisions. We cannot guarantee that a creditor will offer a hardship program, modify an account, accept a settlement, or agree to any particular terms.

Forgiven or canceled debt may have tax consequences in some circumstances. Tax treatment depends on individual facts and applicable tax rules. We do not provide tax advice, so questions about your particular tax situation should be discussed with a qualified tax professional.

That is one reason preparation can be valuable. Our educational service can help you understand your situation, organize relevant information, and identify questions or topics you may want to discuss. We do not make the creditor call for you, but being prepared can make the conversation easier to approach.

The purpose of our service is to reduce that uncertainty. We help organize the information around three basic questions: Where do I stand now? What options may be available to me? What are my possible next steps? You can then decide how you want to proceed.
