Debt relief can be helpful in the right situation, but every option has tradeoffs. Our process starts with understanding what is going on, what matters to you and which paths may realistically fit.

Talk With Our TeamPotential savings
Settlements may reduce the amount repaid, but results depend on your creditors and circumstances.
Credit impact
Debt settlement generally requires missed payments, which can negatively affect your credit history and score.
Collection and lawsuit risk
Creditors may continue collection activity and could pursue legal action while accounts remain unpaid.
Possible tax consequences
Forgiven debt may be taxable in some circumstances. A qualified tax professional can advise you about your situation.
Know how program fees are calculated.
Our current debt relief program fees generally range from 10%–22% of enrolled debt. Your actual fee depends on factors such as the amount of debt and the accounts included in the program.

Request a Free ConsultationWhere should I start?
Start with a free consultation. We will ask about your debt, income, budget, goals and concerns. From there, we can help you compare possible paths.
Is debt relief right for everyone?
No. Debt relief may work well for some people experiencing financial hardship, but it is not appropriate for every debt, budget or goal.
Will a debt relief program affect my credit?
It can. Debt settlement generally involves falling behind on payments before settlements are reached. Missed payments and delinquent accounts can negatively affect your credit.
Could a creditor sue me?
There is a risk. Creditors are not required to stop collection efforts while you are saving funds, and some may pursue legal action.
How much does the program cost?
Ascend Debt Relief’s current program fee generally ranges from 10%–22% of the debt enrolled. Your specific fee will be disclosed before enrollment.
