Do not use ClearOne Advantage they do not negotiate with all creditors at once meanwhile creditors sue you and take you to court. I had two such creditors do this I ended up having to pay the creditors more than the original debt. ClearOne Advantage take their 25% fees more than payments on settled debt. Their accounting and reporting is terrible I have been trying for three months to find out where an additional $500 was applied to. If you can go somewhere else.

Clear One Advantage messed up with my account, while I was making on-time payment to them for years, they were not transparent ( or kept lying ) they missed payment to my creditor and had to go through the settlement process 3 times, they damaged my credit , worse than bankruptcy. they should not be allowed to stay in business , I am sure I am not the only victim of their deceitful lies.

I have been very frustrated using this company. No updates, ever, then they call and want me to take a debt consolidation loan. I had received a letter from the credit card company offering a lump sum payment and called them since I had been paying for a while and they claimed my account was short, gave me a run around and did not attempt to negotiate a payoff. Everything is about “ graduating” from the program, but I am still making payments with no results and no accounting of what is going on. Do not use them!

Don't even want to give them 1 star, please do not fall into the trap of this debt relief company. They are in it to make money and do not care about getting you out of debt at all. Most 2 years in with them they had paid themselves over $8000 and I was sued by 3 credit card companies and they settled some accts with payment arrangements of only $5 a month while I paid ClearOne over $1000 a month . Steer clear and do your research.

Don't trust them. They'll say anything in order to get you to sign. Very pushy sales process. They wouldn't even hang up the phone unless I signed their contract. On top of that, they offered minimum explaination of their process. I canceled and the lady told me I was going to be reimbursed which was a lie. Turns out, they're taking my deposit for themselves. Overall this is a very shady company. Please beware.

This company is a trap and lies to you!! Do not fall for their lies. This program will TANK your credit(mine dropped 100 points in 2 1/2 months!), it does NOT end creditor phone calls, and even if your creditors try to call them to negotiate they don't call them back! Oh and don't forget their fees.... THEY'RE RIDICULOUS!!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!! RUN AWAY!!!

Initially, I was advised there are no additional fees beyond the settlement commission. There are many fees that quickly add up. It is very difficult to get a person on the phone to discuss your account UNLESS it is to accept a settlement with a creditor. Ultimately, I terminated the program and took nearly 10K from my retirement account to pay off the negotiated accounts. 7 weeks later, they have NOT settled the accounts, continue charging fees and I cant get a person on the phone - calls not returned. I gave NO cause for this lack of contact. AVOID this company!

Absolute garbage company. basically tried to have me purposely miss payments and avoid/lie to my creditors for a certain amount of months so i can be "eligible" for their program all while paying them in the mean time too. Seems like a HUGE SCAM, i didn't even make a payment and i opted out. Then once i tried to opt out or cancel it they put me on hold for an hour and i FINALLY got in touch with someone and they tried to talk me into going with the program and said he needed to gather info to opt me out and put me on hold for another hour. VERY SKETCHY, DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY.

Do not use this company!! You can’t reach them and if you get through they will say somone will call you back about you account and they never call back. You can email 30 times and will never hear back. There great about telling you not worry etc. i read the reviews and was going to pull out but there sales person told me not worry. Once they get past 30 or 90 days your screwed. If you need to settle debt go else were.

I went with clear one , biggest mistake. I didn’t even get past getting anything settled or started. I paid 389.00 for 4 months. They settled nothing. So I canceled, to go another route. They took all the money from my account. Before it could be returned. They got me for $1200.00. They didn’t deserve a dime. Don’t let them take your money. TOTAL RIP-OFF. Also they want answer or return phone calls.

After i looked into the program more I decided I wanted to cancel before it even began, I didn’t know where their money was going etc.. so I called and cancelled. They send me an email everyday saying this is a cancellation notice so call us if you’d like to cancel. I’ve emailed, called multiple times, and even talked to an online chat person and they do not get the memo nor will stop contacting me about cancelling. I want to cancel I have been telling them for weeks. It’s extremelt frustrating.

This has been nothing but awful I was told when I signed up that they have worked with American Express in the past turns out that is a lie because American Express won't work with outside agencies. I do not recommend this for AMEX I have put myself in more of trouble than I was before and do not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They wait as long as possible to negotiate with creditors so they interest (and therefore their fees) can be as high as possible. They give you excuses, are shady with creditors (have you call them saying your "friend" is going to negotiate) which made me extremely uncomfortable, and they make it next to impossible to cancel your account in a timely manner. My decision to use there services was a horrible one that I regret, don't make the same mistake!

Not out for your best interest!! They only settle the easy ones and let the jards cases go to litigation. It was easier for me to reach out to the debt collection companies and solve my issues. All they care about is your monthly draft, plus lots of additional changes.

The whole experience was horrible. When starting the process they try to say whatever you want to hear to get you signed up. Then they promise/ gurantee certain results. They completely lie, nothing has come true from what was originally told when signing up. Very expensive, and very manipulative! Don't Trust

There is nothing I like as my dislike for the customer service has shadowed any possible positives. They charge too much, leave you on hold, cut you off or simply do not respond to multiple requests. An agent told me today to just reply 'stop' to the messages. What if they are real settlement offers???

I filled something out online at 4:00am. The next thing you know they are calling which is against the law to call that early. Just because i fill something out at that hour doesn't mean to call. You still have to follow the law.

I filed my notice of cancellation well before the 3-5 day notice period, but was still charged, and overdraft fees were incurred. They are very bad at getting back to you, and don't follow through with actions very well at all. Any company that can mess up financial situations as simply as a stop payment should not be trusted.

Fraud Fraud Fraud!!! Period!! This is a fraudulent company.. They tell you a dream and when its time to take care of your loans they dont answer and give you the run around and when you want to cancel they tell you they've been paying and different people have a different story as to why you can't get it back.. BEWARE!!
