“Every single time I called, no matter who I spoke with, each person was extremely helpful, kind, and patient. I never felt like a burden for calling or that any of my questions were unimportant. Dealing with people every day all day, especially regarding money, could certainly be considered stressful. It could certainly try the patience of anyone. I have never experienced this as a customer with this agency. In addition, they always had an answer, a solution, or an idea. When it came time that we were able to pay off the debt in full, they were beyond helpful in making certain this happened efficiently and effectively. Best decision I've ever made with respect to paying off debt!” | | | |
