*Fees are based on the amount of enrolled debt and may vary from state to state. Individual results may vary based on your ability to save sufficient funds to complete a debt settlement program, the creditors in your individual portfolio, and amount of debt enrolled. Monthly payments under the program may be less than your monthly minimums before enrollment. Estimates and statements made regarding program performance are based on historical results, and the testimonials provided were dependent on the facts of the specific client’s situation. We cannot guarantee settlement results or that your debt balances will be lowered by a specific amount or percentage, or that your debts will be resolved within a specific timeframe. Any use of the term “debt-free” only applies to accounts that have successfully enrolled and completed a debt settlement program. Debtmerica, LLC is an enrollment agent for debt settlement programs, and back-end services are provided by third-party companies. Debtmerica, LLC and/or the back-end service provider will not receive any fees until the terms of your debt have been altered with one or more of your creditors. While programs are designed to reduce your debt balances, creditors are under no contractual obligation to negotiate or accept settlement offers from our service providers. We do not assume consumer debts, nor make monthly payments to creditors on behalf of consumers, nor provide tax, bankruptcy, accounting or legal advice or credit repair services. Please contact a tax professional to discuss potential tax consequences of settled debts. The use of debt settlement services will likely adversely affect your creditworthiness,. It may result in you being subject to collections or being sued by creditors or collectors and may increase the outstanding balances of your enrolled accounts due to the accrual of fees and interest. However, negotiated settlements obtained on your behalf resolve the entire account, including all accrued fees and interest. Note: Photographs of people used in this website are not actual clients.
