These stories show our programs’ success and highlight our client’s ability to take back control of their finances.
Sarah’s Story: From Overwhelmed to Empowered
When Sarah first came to Gateway Debt Relief, she was behind on payments on over $40,000 to multiple credit companies. She made the minimum payments month after month and was struggling to lower the principal debt amount with the high interest rates. With the help of our team, Sarah enrolled in our debt settlement program and started seeing tangible results after just a few months!
Sarah’s Journey:
- Initial Debt: $40,000
- Debt Settled: $25,000 (37% reduction)
- Time in Program: 24 months
Through our debt settlement negotiations, we settled most of Sarah’s credit card debt by nearly 40%. Sarah made a set monthly payment each month and could ultimately pay off her reduced settlement amount in 2 years. Today, Sarah has no unsecured debt and limits her spending to only what she can afford. Her FICO score has gradually improved over the past six months, and she no longer stresses about making ends meet.
Sarah’s Words: “Gateway Debt Relief changed my life. I was dealing with a financial crisis where I made no headway on my credit card bills. I wasn’t behind on the payments, but I could tell it would take over 10 years to pay down my entire balance. The team at Gateway Debt Relief was helpful and supportive and they laid out a plan to have me debt free in 2 to 3 years. They worked with my creditors to get the best settlement and now I’m finally debt free. I would recommend Gateway to anyone dealing with a similar situation where they’re making no headway on the debts!
James’ Story: A Fresh Start After Years of Financial Struggles
James was a small business owner dealing with unexpected financial challenges that lead to over $60,000 in personal debt. Not only was he dealing with declining sales and medical expenses, but his creditors were also raising the interest rates on his credit cards to a point where the monthly payments didn’t’ reduce the amount he owed. With our debt settlement program, James could institute a payment plan and settle his debts on his own terms. After 3 years in our program, he’s debt free and working to rebuild his business.
James’s Journey:
- Initial Debt: $60,000
- Debt Settled: $35,000 (42% reduction)
- Time in Program: 36 months
We knew he had to act quickly to negotiate settlements with James’ creditors, as they were threatening to raise his interest rates further. When all was said and done, we reduced his overall debt amount by over 40%. By consolidating his payments and negotiating settlements with his creditors, we were able to settle James’ debt in three years. James was able to settle his debts over three years. Today, he’s back on his feet and focusing on growing his business without the weight of overwhelming debt.
James’s Words: “I was stressed out about my debt. Gateway Debt Relief not only helped me settle my credit cards for less than what I owed, but they also gave me the peace of mind that anything is possible if you have the right mindset. For years, I paid nearly $1,000 in interest to my creditors. Now I know that’s not okay, and I’m much more aware whenever I make a large purchase.
Maria’s Story: Freedom from Credit Card Debt
Maria was a single mother working multiple jobs and struggling to pay down the balance on her credit cards. She was behind on her payments, and her creditors threatened to garnish her wages and take her to court to seize her assets. She called Gateway Debt Relief a last resort, hoping to find a solution to a problem she didn’t think was fixable.
Maria’s Journey:
- Initial Debt: $25,000
- Debt Settled: $15,000 (40% reduction)
- Time in Program: 18 months
Through our program, Maria’s debt was settled for a fraction of what she originally owed. Once we spoke with her creditors and informed them about her situation, they were willing to work to reduce her overall debt amount. The wage garnishments and asset seizures never materialized. Now Maria no longer has to worry about paying her creditors each month, and she can use that money for other expenses that matter.
Maria’s Words: “Gateway Debt Relief helped me when I thought there was nothing else I could do. My creditors were calling me day and night, and Gateway came in and put a plan in place that worked. Debt Settlement isn’t for everyone, but I can now have a fresh start with my finances!
