WOW

I signed up for Credit Solutions and got 2 out of 3 debts satisfied. I've been trying to call them for a year now so that I can get the 3rd debt satisfied and they have never returned any of my calls or emails.

At one point I was put on hold for 45 minutes then the phone disconnected; I tried this several different times. Today I went to sign onto the web site and it looks like the web sight has been removed!!

Is there any recourse I can take against this company???? I guess I need to call the last credit card so that I can try to satisfy this myself.

CREDIT SOLUTIONS DID NOTHING

Got divorced, and in debt. credit companies doubled monthly payment amounts, i got laid off.

I wanted to try to save my credit, so i found credit solutions who promised to lower payments and negotiate with my creditors for a payofff balance. i had to pay them over 300 per month for many months- they sent me paperwork to fill out for each creditor-- all they did is cause my credit debt to go from about 60,000-to over 180,000, served with lawsuits from creditors,my bank accounts frozen,finally filing bankruptcy,, so much for my credit. if i had used the money i spent paying credit solutions, i would probably have been close to out of debt.

you will do better trying to work with the creditors yourself-- better yet , spend the money on a bankruptcy attorney and just *** the bullet. it has been a little over a year and i have purchased a new car on credit(8%) interest, but still credit, gotten new credit cards, one with 8000.credit limit,, so i have no plans to get back in debt ,but there is light at the end of bankruptcy,, do not use one of these credit companies, they are useless

BEWARE ecredit shopping is a total SCAm.

they will take money out of your bank without your permission or knowledge, i have all their contact details didnt do me much good as they ignore you when you call or email. PLEASE do not entertain thse people, as a low income person i thought it was a good idea untill i realised they were taking pure advantage and they are totally dishonest with the consumer they allow you to order online and before you know it £90 has gone out of your bank before you have even recived the confirmation of your gooods being sent.

I just want to let you know, that anytime you apply for anything online, there is a little box you have to check saying I agree and accept these t/c, which I READ when I was applying for ecredit plus, before I entered my details, which told me about the 99.95 fee upon applying, then as soon as i applied I receieved a confirmation email of my application and then another one when my payment was processed.

Credit Solutions

Credit Solutions,led me to believe that they could help me settle some of my credit cards.They took $ 451.00 a month for 8 months and did not settle any of my accounts.I finally got smart when I was served a law suit by one of the credit card companies.I now am out $3600 and I have to go to court and pay lawyer fees.I called Credit Solutions and was told that I should expect litigation against me.Credit Solutions will not return any of my money.What a scam.I am screwed.I can not believe that these companies are allowed to take advantage of us.Now I am soooo far in debt.

Study all of your rights and the Constitution, get a good lawyer, study and look for errors and loopholes in their terms of service and all their so called legal agreements. And you should after studying our country's legal documents be able to find federal issues in their company.

So the next time they try to sue you you have hard evidence of them federally breaking a lot of constitutional laws you would also have enough knowledge of the constitution in order to fight your case effectively and convincingly. You may be the one who stops a company's embezzlement of money. And if not you then other people who would think about your rightful action against the company and it may even open their eyes a bit.

By the way sorry about my rant. :)

i need help,ive just been conned by this company and ive no ideawhat to do?

Guest

E-credit need to be exposed on a tv consumer program,b......ds

Guest

These scanners are also taking money from my account, I have never applied for anything with these people and had never heard of them until they appeared on my bank statement. They have taken three payments, £ 39.99 and 2 £4.95 payments.

The bank have informed me that cancelling my bank card will not necessarily stop them, apparently they can just contact the card issuer and still take a payment.

When you phone you get an automated answer then it just cuts dead. Does anybody know how I can stop this and get my money back ??

Guest

ive also been conned by e credit , while applying for a cash advance loan , ive reported them to fair trading , as thay have not yet returned my money

Guest

They took 99.95 out of my account. They gave it back, then the next day they took 79.95, and then said I applied for a loan that I didnt do. What can I do now?

Guest

Hi bubble i have never taken a loan out with these people and after searching long and hard i have not found an email address.....can you give me the email address? I need to stop whatever subscription iv accidently signed up for

Guest

anybody know which loan company they are tied with?

Guest

they took mine too,,,,,,,applied for loan ,,clever how they do it,,,but a big scam ,,,,complain to the right people maybe they can be stopped

Guest

i did the same, applied for a pay day loan online and was rejected, and then £99.95 was taken from my bank, the bicester address is a company called clark howes llp (an accountants) who pass the mail on to them in america. the e-mail they provide returns mail not delivered and the number is a very expensive 08 number which when i called was on hold for 20 mins. still looking for a american address for them, if any one knows?

Guest

Well Angela maybe you shouldn't be allowed to use a computer then, cause I opened an account with them last month, and they did exactly what they said they would, debited my account and gave me a credit limit to shop online. I'm sorry I understand where some of you are coming from, I mean people do actually steal information and use it but that is not the companies fault, but for the rest of you who just sit on here and *** cuz you cant read what you apply for or are pissed just cause they don't tell you what you want to hear seriously should think about getting help!

Don't waste your money with Credit Solutions

We hired Credit Solutions to help us negotiate down our credit card debt. They charge %11 of the total owed. On the surface that seemed like a good thing - spend that to save thousands. As time has gone by, they have not done much to help us. We paid $900 the first two months and then we have paid nearly $500 a month for a year. If I had saved that $ I could have paid off one card. I found out that I can get a better price if I negotiate myself. They only did one deal and it is one that I negotiated before they got involved.

The laws have recently changed so no credit negotiator can charge before they have provided you with a negotiated deal.

Because of the time delays, etc., several of our accounts went to litigation. Now I have liens on my property and much to my dismay, the courts don't care that I lost my job and can't pay. I hear these ads that say the company will negotiate your deal for %60 of what is owed. I have judgements against me and I feel like I will be a long time recovering. I might have been better off declaring bankruptcy.

Credit Solutions

You who are complaining about Credit Solutions and calling the employees "unethical and questioning the education them as well please read: Anyone who enrolls into the CSA Program if they take the time to read their Debt Solutions Kit, instead of just thinking that CSA can just make the debt disapear w/out any knowledge or understanding of the program, they will find all the things that you people are complaining about. Of course any amt.

of money that you save will be taxed. If you have a 10,000 debt and CSA settles the debt for 5,000, the Creditor obv. is not going to tax that 5K its the Clients resp. There are forms you can fill out to go through the same process as you did when you enrolle din the program.

IRS.org. Its called a 1099C Form. Read your DSK and you will know this. And CSA is the largest for-profit debt managment company in North America.

With almost 3billion dollars of unsecured debt.

Also, have save over 150,000 families.

ECredit is a scam, anything to do with the ECredit company should be avoided at all costs, they take money from your account without permission.

They have nothing but bad reviews and there staff is poorly trained and nothing but *** internet highwaymen.

Credit Solutions don't tell you they are ruining your income tax bracket!!!!!!

Credit Solutions is horrid!!!!! They never told me that they money they "save" you is then considered earned income!!!!

So if they supposedly "save" you $10,000 you have to claim that on your taxes!!! That will no doubt push you into a higher tax bracket!!!! After finding out about this, I called them to get the $2400 I had already paid them in fees and they refuse to refund!!! They never did anything for me but charge me fees and then try and screw me with the IRS!!!!

The "supervisor" I spoke to was so obviously reading from a script and not to be rude but she obviously didn't get past the 5th grade.

I guess they need to hire people who don't have a clue what they are doing to other humans or just don't have any ethics!!!

I'm beyond PISSED!!!

Al of you will need to contact this law ferm to join in the on going class action law suite.

These companies are really not scams. Debt Settlement does work.

The only bad side is it will mess up your credit while in the program, but the benefits outweight the drawbacks. Most people get scared 'cause they think the debt settlement company is doing nothing for them. The truth is that the debt needs to go delinquent. This means that the debt needs to age probably at least a year and a half before settlement offers are made.

But, the credit cards companies will settle. They all settle. It just takes patience on the customer's end.

If they pay the amount quoted in the contract for the period of time in the contract, the debt will get settled. Hope this helps.

Guest

I work for a nationwide bankruptcy law firm. I have clients calling all the time complaining about these types of services.

Even when our clients try to cancel the service, these companies will still try to take out additional money from our clients bank account.

Word of advice, if they have your bank account info, close out the account. If you need debt relief, do it with law backing you up.

Guest

I use to work there and made a lot of money off people, I even made $10,000 in one month then, but I knew the program didn't help anyone. But I had bills too! So I decided to write a book about the company it will be on Amazon in April!

Guest

I feel it is sad and ungrateful the way you all are acting... here is a company trying to help you with your over-extended lifestyle.

Who else ar you going to blame for your debt now?? hmmm.....

Guest

Is it too late for me? My husband and I were in the program last year and Credit solutions did nothing for us except take our money.

We canceled out, but we are still in debt. I wish I would have found this site last year

Guest

This company has ruined thousands of peoples lives, their is a class action lawsuit against them , go to consumeraffairs.com, you can get in on the lawsuit, the more people that sign on hopefully they will be forced out of business, Credit solutions was also fined by the FTC and had to pay $2.4 million dollars in fines, they took over $4,000.00 from us and got us sued 4 times! They refuse to give us any sort of a refund and sent a notice to our remaining creditors telling them we are no longer in their program!

We now are on our own, and our credit is destroyed and we are yet again getting threats of lawsuits! Go to the BBB of texas and file a complaint against them, we the consumer need to stop this company from destroying lives!

Guest

I was contacted by Credit Solutions for a job interview to be a debt consultant. They are a shady company.

They were very mysterious about everything. The way they conducted themselves made me nervous and I will not accept their job offer. This appear to be a "Boiler Room" operation going on. Do your self a favor and avoid Credit Solutions at all costs.

If a company cannot clearly present their offer with facts and numbers they are hiding something.

TRUST ME, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CREDIT. SOLUTIONS

Guest

A. CSA has one of the worst BBB ratings possible

B. CSA *needed to approach* Ripoffreport.com for help

C. CSA deserves to rob you of your money if you still choose them after reading the above

Guest

You need to stop all payments credit solutions is taking out of your account. Demand a refund and threaten BBB and Federal Trade Commission complaints.

Threaten to file a class action law suit against them. Do whatever it takes to get out of it.

I used to work there, I actually just walked out today. I was sick of the lies and corruption at that place.

OMG, it feels good to walk out of that place.

You guys need to get out of their program.

You can work your accounts yourselves. Get out while you still can...

Credit Solutions

Help, I think I have gotten into something bad. Due to medical issues, layoff unsurmountable house repair bills etc I have found myself in alot of credit card debt.

One Sunday I thought I would look into a debt settlement company as I do not want to back out of the debts only to find a way to pay the debts off reasonably. I filled out the forms online for credit solutions. I no sooner finished the form than I received a call from one the their representitives after his assurance that this was the way to go and answering all of my questions I signed up, bad move. After reading some reviews on this company and doing alot of research, yes I shoud have one that first.

I decided to cancel. To make a long story short, they will not cancel my contract, I cannot get ahold of anyone at the company, my e mails are not answered. They have already taken a substantial amount out of my checking account and done nothing regarding my creditors. At this time my credit card bills have doubled due to mounting interest.

I am scared to death that I will be served a lawsuit. What in the world do I do now. I am here to say that Credit Solutions is a scam and should be put out of business. They do nothing and the part that worries me is they have access to my checking account.

Is there anyone out there that speaks to the powers that be for the people entrapped by Credit Solutions?

i also chose credit solutions to settle some accounts for me. i was worried after nothing had been done after 3 months but i just had a card company settle for half the amount i owed them...

now im a little worried though because cs has been taking money out every month which i thought was to go to paying off the accounts when settled but when i go to accept the settlement it tells me to enter payment info for the account... why do i need to do this. obviously there probably wont be ppl on here with good experiences but just wondering about other experiences...

i emailed them a day ago and nothing back yet.... ill keep everyone posted

Guest

oh yeah I forgot to say with the class action lawsuits and FBI investigation Doug has been going to the Caymen Islands (which he very well could be lying about the location) and has also got his buddy to start up a company called rescue debt.

Credit Solutions

I wrote on 7/26/2008 about my dilema with Credit Solutions. The ame day I received a letter in the mail from a law firm representing one of my creditors apparently I have been turned over to a collection agency.

I am now really ticked off, credit solutions assured me they would contact my creditors and I would not receive any type of correspondance either by phone or mail from these creditors and Credit Solutions would contact them and let them know they are working with me etc etc. I will take the advice of a commentor on this site and stop payments to this awful company. I will find a local nonprofit debt settlement agency and go from there. If it comes to having to hire an attorney I will go after this company with all my mite.

Somebody has to stop them.

They are bloodsuckers preying on people who honestly want to do the right thing they are no better than the credit card companies that charge exorbanent rates and fees in fact I am beginning to think one is in the pocket of the other.

FP do not despair. I finally got out of my contract and got my money refunded but I had to go through the Texas BBB.

I received an immediate response. I received the same letters you did and also signed a power of attorney. I don't know if this helps or not.

I had tried to cancel my contract within the 72hr window that I was given when I first signed up, this was where the snag was I didn't get any responses to my phone calls nor to my emails that is when I turned to th BBB. have learned my lesson believe me

Guest

I totally feel your pain. I too am paying Credit Solutions and they have done nothing to help me either.

As a matter of fact I was served papers two weeks ago from one of my creditors suing me and when I called CS they said they couldnt help me for they are not a attorneys and that specific creditor does not deal with third parties meaning them CS, eventhough I signed them a power of attorney. Im so disappointed and lost in despair...

Credit Solutions.com=Thieves

We hired Creditsolutions.com to settle our debts. As we got further behind on our debt and started getting letters from our creditors and collection agencies, and attorneys representing them it became crystal clear that they were not going to do anything to settle our debt.

After countless calls, e-mails and faxes we never got any response from them. We now find ourselves much worse off with ruined credit as the result of believing that they would assist in settling our debt. When we did speak with them we were told that we had not been in the program long enough to get a settlement and that they were working on our behalf to gain settlements with each of our accounts. When asked for a history of their contacts with our creditors we received nothing.

In fact any time we requested documentation that they were in contact with our creditors or had any type of contact they were not able to produce anything. We are now in the process of looking into legal action against them. Fraud it what they do.

Stay away at all costs!!!!
