Can I qualify for debt relief with bad credit?
Absolutely — our Lower Rates program in Portland is designed specifically for people with imperfect credit. That’s who we serve.
Will a debt relief plan hurt my credit score?
A brief, minor dip is possible, but the long-term trend is positive — most clients in Oregon see credit score gains as their balances decrease.
Can I use my credit cards while enrolled?
Not during enrollment — the Lower Rates program requires closing or pausing active cards so you can focus entirely on lower interest rates.
Is there a cost to enroll in a debt relief program?
We offer free evaluations. If you enroll, there may be a small monthly service fee — far less than what you’d pay in interest alone.
What kinds of debt are eligible?
Credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, and some types of unsecured debt. Secured debts (like mortgages) are not included.
How long does the process take?
The typical Lower Rates program runs 3 to 5 years, depending on your total debt and what fits your monthly budget.
