Valentine Pazand2024-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Crystal at Debtwave is doing amazing job helping us and she continues follow up & contacting us to review our bill statements that we receive each month and she is a bridge between us and creditors! At the end we are very happy with Debtwave team! Derrick Moore2024-10-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Overall a pretty solid company once you get in. However, they are not fully accepted by everyone and they do not gather all the proper balances before you giving you a quote. But once you are in, they do cut interest rates and help you pay off faster. I would recommend it to others.

Lisa Uhler2024-08-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was drowning in credit card debt, along with every day living expenses, it was just to overwhelming. Debtwave became my road to freedom from debt, and gave me the learning tools to help me stay on that road. Thank You Debtwave. Kimberly Jauregui2024-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found DebtWave while I was researching ways to manage my debt. For years, I felt like I had been overwhelmed by it and I finally wanted to be rid of it once and for all. I’m so glad I found DebtWave before pulling the trigger on signing up with a debt consolidation company. DebtWave does things differently. They won’t tank your credit score or try to get you out of paying off existing debt. They will work with creditors to lower your interest rates and will even send the payments for you every month. With the program I enrolled in, my debt should be completely paid off in only a few years, versus almost 20 on my own. I continue to monitor my accounts and it’s so encouraging to see my balances actually lowering every month instead of accruing massive amounts of interest. If you’re overwhelmed with your payments, I highly recommended reaching out to them. They have excellent customer service and will help get that weight off your chest! Kiandrea Nottage2024-07-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was drowning in high interest credit card debt, student loan, and daily living expenses. Stressed working paycheck to paycheck, until I was referred to this wonderful debt counseling service whom thoroughly assisted in changing my financial life.

I highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to consolidate their debt and have peace of mind the mental clarity of knowing where your money is going. You will not regret a moment of the decision. The customer service is a 10/10 for me they're helpful, informative, so patient, respectful, considerate and knowledgeable.
