The short answer

Read the price as a whole

15%–25% of enrolled debt, as described on its qualifications page.

A written quote should identify the fee percentage, its base, the creditor payments, dedicated-account charges and any legal or financing costs. A smaller monthly deposit is not evidence of a lower total cost.

What the results can—and cannot—show

We have not verified an all-enrollee, fully-paid completion rate from this source. Marketing examples and cumulative debt totals do not establish the chance that every account in a new customer’s program will be resolved.

For your decision, request a mature enrollment cohort: everyone who entered, how many fully paid all included debts, how much they paid including fees, and how many left with balances unresolved. An account-level discount is not the same as customer-level completion.

How to investigate complaints fairly

Look up the legal name on the proposed contract, including related trade names. Read the issue, date, company response and any official order. A raw complaint count lacks the number of customers served and may span different products. A review score is not a license check.

This review does not present a comprehensive litigation or licensing clearance. No absence-of-complaints claim is made. Check current state requirements for the entity and service before signing.

Compare the alternative before signing

Get a direct creditor hardship proposal and a nonprofit credit-counseling assessment when applicable. If money is unavailable, income may be protected or a court deadline is involved, legal advice may be more useful than an enrollment pitch. Choosing a company cannot guarantee creditor participation.
