I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of clearone debt relief. If you have i would appreciate a comment, good or bad. Thanks a bunch

Hi Sandmanlti,

This is a debt settlement company which has recently launched a Performance Marketing Program. I have not personally dealt with this company so i cannot give you a feed back. You can search the BBB to find out.

I did that and there are no complaints on BBB.org. They are somewhat new though.

Considering I work for ClearOne's Philadelphia branch, I won't give you my opinions here, only a few factual points.

We're an acquisition company for Freedom Financial Network. We enroll our clients into Debt Resolution Partners or Century Negotiation Inc.

Debt Resolution Partners and Century Negotiations Inc both have verifiable good standings with the Better Business Bureau and are also members of TASC (The Association of Settlement Companies).

Fees stay the same as with all other companies, or going directly to a settlement company. 15% of the total enrolled debt amount paid out of a period of 19-20 months.

I haven't spoken to anyone who's gone through our settlement companies directly, but I doubt they give their clients a personal cell phone number and are generally responding to calls/emails 24/7 (apart from when I sleep).

Sandmanlti, I currently have my debts settled with Clear One Debt Relief and I can tell so far they have been wonderful to me. So if you have any credit card debt that you would like to consolidate, I would look them up! :)

How nice, a debt relief company that you can actually trust, thanks for coming on and commenting Tenika, it is always good to hear good news.

Mcasper, thank you too for coming on and giving an objective opinion.

Thanks for the information Pete. Hope to see more information on the company.

Does 'Clear One' only deal with credit cards, or, do they deal with ANY kind of Unsecured Debt ( medical bills, etc?) Does it matter what state you live in, to deal with them? What are their fees?

I went on their website and filled out an inquiry form in which I SPECIFICALLY asked not to be contacted over the phone. The next day I received no less than 12 phone calls from them, and during each call I expressed my wish to not be contacted over the phone, only to be called again the next hour. THEN, as if that wasn't enough, I got this email from one of their representatives:
jennifer,

What did you expect you filled out the information online just trying to help.

Maybe you should be careful about what you do online. no need to get upset about firms calling you. you asked for information

Good luck.

Are you kidding me?
The tone of this email gives me serious doubt as to their credibility, they had a vulture-like decent on me, and I would NEVER work with them after the way I was treated!

Sat, 02/23/2008 - 02:14 Permalink

OMG!! 'JENNIFIER'....sorry you were treated so badly. I thought if you spefically asked someone NOT to contact you, by phone, I would think they would contact you by e-mail (WITHOUT the sarcassism).

Mon, 02/25/2008 - 14:32 Permalink

wow, what a way to do customer service, huh. I am sorry to hear that you were treated this way, it just goes to show that you may not want to deal with them anyway if this is how they treat potential customers, imagine how free they would fill to insult you after they have a contract with you and you can't get out of it.

Good they show their true colors now, rather than later. Hope you can find a different company that will respect you as a customer and help you move forward with your problems.

Sorry friend right now I am having no idea about your query but if I got any kind of information I will let you know.

I personally know that Clear One Debt is unethical, not trustworthy, and unprofessional. The company management is comprised of a bunch of crooks that are trying to make a quick dollar. Don't look for any better treatment than JENNIFER received. If you do call them, ask them why they can't do business with Debt Resolution Partners or Century Negotiations Inc. anymore.

Thank you for the warning, it is always good to hear from someone who has first hand experience, good or bad, thank you for the sharing the information. I am sorry that you had such a bad experience with this company but then sometimes a bad experience can teach us a lot. Again, thanks for sharing.

Clearone debt relief is not a BBB Accredited business. However, as per BBB, the company has a satisfactory record. But I don't know how it shows satisfactory record as per BBB. I think we should complain against them to the BBB, about the way they behave with us.

If I went on line and filed my info I would expect to be contacted in regards to my enquiry. Most internet applications don't have an option showing that you don't want to be contacted by phone. The email is polite and professional and in no way would cause me not to work with that company. If they can get me out of debt that would be that matters to me. My brother used Clear One and had a great experience.

Cliff,

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with you and CODR. This has been pretty traumatic for me and you have made the experience much easier than I ever thought it would be. I have always taken such pride in paying my bills on time that this has been a hard thing to do. You have never once made me feel embarrassed or bad that I am having to go through this process. I also felt like you had answer for every question I had without any hesitation and that help me to trust in you and your company. You will never know how much that means to me.

You are a wonderful help and my experience with you has been a GREAT one.

Thanks a bunch,

Tannie

Feel free to call Cliff at 888-820-0067

I enrolled in their programin December I have already recieved notices of settlements on three of my accounts. The rep I spoke with notified me that they broke away from DRP because their servicing was lack luster. The also did away with some unehtical employees most likley Debt Settlement Insider.

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 17:02 Permalink

Tammy, you could also contact the people you owe personally. Usually they will give you the owner of the debt I settlement offer. Usually the older the debt the more they will want to settle.

I find it interesting that Clear One Debt Relief purports to help others manage their debt. They are WELL overdue on more than $25,000 to my company. Repeated attempts to collect the overdue rent has just met with one lame excuse after another. If they can't manage their own debt, I'm not sure how they could help anyone else.

We sub-leased some space to them in late 2007 and, over the last Super Bowl weekend, they moved out with no notice. Their employees did childish things like leave Chinese food in the fridge to go bad and stink, break off keys in storage bin locks, left holes and scuff marks on the walls, etc.

I'm preparing to sue them as I write this. Anyone considering becoming a client of Clear One Debt Relief might want to consider this information. I can substantiate all of it with the lease, unpaid invoices and email correspondence between me and Tomas Gordon, their CEO/owner. According to him, they can barely meet their payroll and he's desperately trying to raise venture capital. Fat chance of that, once he has a judgment against him.

Caveat Emptor!

We hear at the forum really thank you for being honest. Alot of people hear are working hard to clear their debt and start over. The last thing they need is a fraudulent company taking their money. It is hard to come by as it is.

Myself and my parents worked with Clear One, in fact my parents referred me to them. Always do your own homework, but I loved the service i have received. They even settled 2 of my accounts for less then they thought they could get and made me aware. I looked on the BBB and they have a satisfactory rating. That was important to me because i could not find that with the other 6 companies that called me. They even call me once a month to update me on my account which i find pretty amazing . Just my thoughts, do with what you like.

Seems like when it comes to debt releif companies there is always mixed opions. Some find a companies servive commendable and others have no luck. I wonder why different people get such different results.

DO NOT do business with ClearOne Debt Relief! These people are a SCAM. They were previously doing business under the name of Start Positive. They took a total of $1250 from my sister with the promise of giving her a loan modification. They stalled her for months and gave her one lie after another. They finally told her they were not able to give her the modification but refused to refund her money because it had been more than 30 days. My sister FINALLY got wise and reported them to several authorities in the state of Wisconsin. We found out that they were not even licensed to do business. Contact 6 TV in the Milwaukee area is in the process of putting a story together about them. There was also a front page article about this company in the local newspaper in Burlington, Wisconsin. After they realized they were busted, they shut down and are now operating under the name of Clear One Debt or Clear One Debt Relief. They are not too bright because they are using the same phone number as when they were Start Positive. Steer clear of these people! My sister is still fighting to get her money back. They told her they would give her a refund but it has not happened. Checking the Better Business Bureau is not sufficient. They only report when there is a complaint about a business. Being that they are fairly new (under a different name) there are usually no complaints. Another clue is if the business has not been around for a long time. There are SO MANY fraudulent companies out there right now offering debt relief or real estate loan modifications. Only do business with an established bank or a well known financial institution. We are trying to get these people prosecuted but it will not be easy. They make themselves sound very legitimate but do not fall into their trap!

Hi Ciney,

Thanks for providing this information. This will make all of us conscious about seeking help from different companies regarding our debt problems. Whatever happened with your sister is too unfortunate, but I would appreciate the efforts that you put in to know the reality. We will definitely benefit from this and remember to cross check the legitimacy of a company before working with them. I hope your sister gets back her money soon.

Warning! Stay away from this company. They mismanage your files and lose your paperwoek. My file changed hands 5 times and nobody ever got back to me. Their mismanagement and fraudulent statements delayed my negotiations process so long that by the time I got someone to look at my file they were not able give me any savings on my accounts. The interest had gone up so much that the settlement amount was more than the original principal on my account.

Hello, I want to tell you about a credit company that helped redeem me, I had a major setback because my score was miserably low, things became worse because of the evictions, IRS and liens in my profile, until my cousin introduced me to SKY CREDIT SOLUTION , they made it better, they literally gave me my life back, my score is 760, my profile is alright. For various forms of credit upgrade, no matter how low the score is, the one and only answer I know is SKY, they are 100% legit. Everything is looking up for me now, hit them up via SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM / (620) 399 6316. You should contact them now…

I’m Kathy live in New York. Words alone can’t express how I feel. Hack West did what I felt was impossible to repair. I had a $24,000 student loan from 1989 and I know I paid it off long ago, but they took my tax return which deprived me of getting a home loan. I read several reviews about Hack West Credit Repair and decided to contact them via HackWest@Writeme.Com and texted afterwards [(424) 307 2638]. I got a reply immediately and explained my predicament. West brought back my almost lost joy by fixing my credit which enabled me to gain access to a home loan. Today I’m living happily with my kids. All thanks to the entire team Hack West. They are just the best. I sole recommend them.

I checked my scores some couple of weeks ago, they ran down in the low to the mid 400s. I was struggling having a hard time getting approved for anything due to a layoff I had last year so I fell behind on my bills and now I am struggling trying to get my score back up so I can purchase a home. I surf the internet in search of help and I met with AUTOLINKS CREDIT SERVICES and I explained to them my credit situation and they promised to help me get my scores back on track so I can be qualified for the home purchase. After some couple of days later, they cleared the bills on my credit profile and effected the changes across all 3 credit bureaus and finally raised my scores to 793. I bought the house after a week and I am very happy today with my family. You can contact them and have them fix your credit issues as fast as possible.

My husband and I had some couple of negative items with relatively low score that disqualified us from everything. So we searched for a credit expert on credit magic to help us fix our credit score, we agreed to trust 760PLUS CREDIT SCORE after we have read good reviews and trusted recommendations from people about him, we explained the negative items on our report to him and he gave us a period of one week. Eventually, we finally got an excellent result within 7 days .Our score were increased to 780 and 805 respectively .All debt were marked as paid, late payment appeared as on time payment and other negative item were deleted. I recommend the hacker to people that want to fix their credit problem. Write him via: 760PLUSCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM or text 1(304) -774 -5902.
