Beyond Finance

The two ladies I spoke with explained everything was knowledgeable of the way the plan works. I would recommend anyone with debt to go with this company.

Don't do it! Beyond has had 25k of my money to settle all of my debts since 3/17/22. They have sat on the last debt for four months. I called the creditor myself and they told me Beyond had called them one time on 6/17/22 AFTER I asked Beyond for the status. Beyond promised to pay on 6/30/22 (no idea why they delay after I approve) and did NOT pay as promised until 7/11/22 when I AGAIN called the creditor who confirmed they had not yet been paid. They do not connect their customers with the individuals who are actually doing the work. Their responses are either completely wrong or a template answer. Of course they took their fee for this settlement on 7/1/22 LOL. I paid Beyond almost 9k in fees and wouldn't complain if they simply did their job. There are better options out there for you.

This is a for profit company. Basically this is what happens: - pay bi weekly amounts to a bank account that is set up through Beyond - eventually they will settle an account for half, usually start with smallest one - once customer agrees to the settlement they charge 25% fee to the customer within a few days - on my initial agreement with Beyond it says the fees are 25% and indicates it’s an average of 6% a year but it’s not, the entire fee is taken right away instead of over time - The fee from Beyond is so high that there is not enough money in the account for any other settlements. For example there was around $600 in the bank account due to my bi-weekly deposits. Beyond settled an account and the first payment was submitted to the creditor for around $50. Then Beyond takes their 25% which was around $490. Now the bank account has virtually no money to initiate other settlements. So meanwhile you’re stuck with nothing being settled, late fees, credit score in the tubes, etc. - Try to contact customer service and they give scripted answers that do not help explain - Try to get a fee schedule from Beyond and they do not provide it, stated that I had to agree to settlement first (they don’t want you to know how much they will be taking all at once) - Try to get agreement between Beyond and the creditor and they give a run around and tell me it’s on the dashboard which it’s not At the rate they go these accounts with not be settled within 6 months or even a year. Then more months go by, late fees, collections, lawyers are suing, etc. This company hires “sales” people who are very convincing, but it’s a scam. Really, their job title is SALES. Most of the 5 star reviews are after the initial experience because they are, “so nice and helpful”. Once you’re in the program a while you realize that you are getting screwed and there’s nothing but idiots on the other end (sales people are gone and it’s now just phone reps from other countries). They say you save half with their services but by the time you pay them 25%, plus extra late fees and penalties because the accounts are delinquent so long, you might save 10% - and that’s if you don’t get sued or go to court. I do not recommend this company.

This beyond finance is a farce they do not save you any money, in fact by the time your done paying all the fees to both creditors and beyond you have paid more then what your original debt was to begin with. The payment made into your account each month to pay the creditors adds up so that by the time you have made enough deposits the credit companies have increased the debt by charging you late fees and interest on your account. And your credit gets shot to hell. I have actually graduated from the program by taking a loan from above lending their affiliate and now beyond finance is giving me the run around on refunding any funds that are left over back into my bank account. $300,20. They say above lending has something to do with the refunding of the money but I called them and they said they have nothing to do with it which is true, So beyond finance are clearly lying. They give me a different answer each time I call or chat and never a correct one. After several emails, phone calls, chats, they finally refunded my money back to me. But still, don't go with this company or any debt relief program it is all rip-offs, you'll pay allot more then what you owe. Do it yourself with the credit companies and save yourself allot of headaches and frustration and possible law suits.

I had no complaints of Beyond until it came time for graduation of their program. All my creditors have been paid, confirmed paid in full, and I was told I was graduated from the program and I was going to receive the leftover funds in my dedicated account transferred to my bank account. That was on Feb 28, 2022. It is now April 14th and since friday I have been given the run around by every single employee I speak to and when my money is supposed to arrive to my account. Friday I was told Monday. Monday I was told by another gentleman that actually my account was not graduated because one of my creditors said they were not paid in full. I called that creditor MYSELF and was told that was false and they did in fact acknowledge to Beyond that everything is settled in full so there should be no issue. So I called back and then was finally told that yes they somehow miraculously received this confirmation (literally one hour in between phone calls) and I would get my money via transfer by Wednesday...NOTHING. Now, the gentleman (JT) who took my call and PROMISED ME I was put on top priority by his superior (Otis) and my money was in fact going to be transferred within 24-48 hours on Monday, will not return my phone calls. A woman (Roslind) that I spoke to on the 11th told me I shouldn't expect my money until Friday (15th) or next week at best. WHICH ONE IS IT?! I'm sick of being lied to and my money withheld from me which I am entitled to.

Started in 2019, paid every payment on time, credit rating tanked, got served papers by creditor who didn't want to settle, no legal help. Finally paid off my balance Feb 2022. The person who took my final payment didn't. " Push the button" to cancel future ACH withdrawals. It made me overdraft. Come to find out, I not only paid bill off, they owed me a substantial refund. Did not find that out until I called about the ACH withdrawal. And they can't return the ACH payment until it clears there side. They can not refund my credit until the ACH clears. When were they going to inform me that I had a credit? It's been there for over a month? Do I get the interest they have accumulated ? I've called 3 times in the last 24 hours , reps are apologetic, but basically I'm going to have to deal with it. There is someone in this company who can make an executive dicission and do what's right. It behooves me that they use a program that does not red flag issues within each account.

The company does not reveal the true 'cost' of doing business with them to you when they initially talk to you. They say they will settle your debt for at least 50% of the amount owed. While it was my concern when signing up that this can't be guaranteed, I went ahead and enrolled. My fear was correct. They did NOT settle my debt for as little as they had promised and their fees are outrageous (25% of the debt enrolled, not the amount you pay after the settlement). I enrolled $8K in debt and after it was all said and done (they took their cut), they saved me a measly $300. Beyond claims they will save you so much money, and it's just not true. Your credit score is hit severely and if I would have just paid my cards outright (and spent $300 more), I would've saved my credit score as well. I can't stress enough how this program is NOT worth it. Don't be fooled by them. Take my advice and try to settle your cards outright and do not pay this company to take your money.

September 2020 I spoke with an enrollment agent Justin T for beyond finance to settle 3 credit cards. I signed up a 24 months agreement and was told that was it. I do not need to pay any more penny and they will settle all 3 credit cards. Fast forward to 2022 February. I spoke with beyond finance agent and asked how much left to pay off the program so I can graduate from the program earlier. They gave me the amount and suggested that I add a buffer just incase “in my head - I’m like what do you mean just incase? when you told me I only have to pay certain amount of money for 24 months.” Nevertheless, I added “the buffer” more money on top of whatever was left to pay off the program. It doesn’t end there… Today March 4th, a new agent reaches out to me and I’m like “ Thank God - I’m about to graduate from this debt who had me in a miserable situation financially for the last several years. To my surprise they asked for more money again, this time a crazy amount. I said NO. You either settle this cursed debt as you PROMISED or I’ll take my chances with the law. I really want to get a lawyer’s help or something at this point because this is a fraud. Tell people what they are getting themselves into from the beginning and use basic English words. I’m 27 years old and I’m really loosing my faith in the financial sector people.

They lied to me in order to get me to sign up. After I signed up I got emails saying what they were really doing and had to call them to cancel and try to get my money back. I was told that my debt would roll over into a personal loan. All of it. I was not interested in settling as it would close my credit accounts. They said my accounts wouldn't close and my entire debt would roll over in three months of good payments. They said they would start contacting my creditors immediately. Then I found out they lied they were attempting to settle accounts. Late fees were incurring, and they were charging me 25% of my debt for this settlement service. The personal loan to finish my debt was probably six months out and not guaranteed. I thought this was a viable solution but the first review listed on google that raves about them seems to be an advertisement which is very misleading.

I would give 0 stars if I could. This company is the BIGGEST scam. They claim to settle your debts in “3-6 months” but they actually take over 2 years. They are TERRIBLE at communication, don’t bother emailing them because you probably won’t get a response. Their fees are absolutely insane, and by the time they get around to negotiating a settlement for you, your initial debt balance has probably increased by the MAYBE 25% you would save if you had paid the debt off yourself, so you barely save a penny. Plus, your credit is absolutely wrecked. They charge a ridiculous fee for a savings account each month, and they throw in some surprise documents that will incur a monthly charge as well. After you’ve signed a settlement agreement, thinking a settlement has been made, they will send you another settlement a month later for the same debt claiming the first one didn’t work out. I was incredibly naive signing up for this program, please don’t waste your time or energy! Worst company I have ever dealt with. Also called in a month ago about some missing funds, and when the woman told me she would investigate it and *promised* to call me back within 2 business days, I believed it. It’s been at least a few weeks since then and I haven’t heard a peep. So, just to reiterate- please don’t do it. I am a paying customer of this service and I’m telling you it’s trash.

I need to speak to someone about why I have not graduated from the program that we are enrolled in. I was told by a representative in November that we would be done with this before Christmas, it has been a month past Christmas. Please explain to me what the issue is. I have offered to pay over the settlement amount. All that I have heard is that our last enrolled debt is not settled yet. I have heard that you have been communicating with that company, but no agreements have been made. I have enjoyed working with Beyond, until we got our loan from Above. Beyond has been no help since we were given our loan, and I do not understand why.

SCAM - I signed on w/Beyond Finance in Aug 2021 after the pandemic closed my event planning business and I had racked up considerable credit card debt, living on my credit cards. The rep at BF sounded knowledgeable and explained the program was designed to settle all debt within 120 to 150 days. We are now at 6 months later, my credit score has plummeted to 415, after ignoring any and all communication with my creditors - they have settled exactly ONE $2000 debt for alittle over half, which they are MAKING INSTALLMENTS ON, rather than just settling it which they have the ability to do, since they have collected some $2500 from my monthly drafts to them. And today, Trent at BF - who refused to supply a last name (what financial institute allows reps to use only first name, while they are sitting with ALL your personal data, SS, DL, bank accounts...????), advised that the large balance credit cards WOULD NOT BE SETTLED FOR YEARS - because they would have to collect from me enough funds to negotiate the settlement. THAT is NOT what was promised - infact just the opposite... specifically BF has the power in the marketplace because they have the ability to settle your debt in your behalf, as long as you establish a pattern of reliable payments over a 90 - 120 day period. THIS IS A SCAM - STAY AWAY.

My debt didn’t even get settle for that much less than what I originally owe. $27k settle for $22k. Beyond settled my PayPal account but it still shows up on my credit report after 5 months as in collection even after disputing it. Regardless of almost completing my program, my credit score continues to drop even though debts are getting settled. This is mainly due to the collection that I had already settle through beyond and finished paying off, however, since they won’t do anything about it, my credit drops each time I look at it. Already talk to beyond about it and nothing getting done. They claim they can settle the account for half the amount than you owe but literally it doesn’t really do anything for you due to the fees they charge. Just settle your loan yourself and call to close everything down. Wish I would had read reviews before joining up with them.

Don't DO IT! They will wreck your credit and steal your money. And you will not get anything in return. Yes you will, you'll get a headache and a lot more aggravation than you bargained for. If you value your credit score, mine was over 700 when I began with them and now it's only barely fare 640 I do believe at this moment. I went down to 550 when I started. They will tell you not to talk to your creditors while they sit back and let your accounts grow with late charges so by the time a negotiation begins your account may have doubled the original amount plus you'll have delinquencies on you record. One of my accounts did just that and not only did it do that, but it went to collections while they were sitting on their bottoms. I was put in touch with one of the attorney's that work for them and she was useless as I received two court summons on this account. Had to appear in court last month, but the attorney did take care of that, but I went to court anyway to make sure. They will tell you one thing, and do quite another. They take out absorbent fees prior to even paying your creditor. They say it's 25% but it's way above that. I've paid $5016.00 to date and $2910.00 have gone to Beyond Finance Fees and only $2806.00 to my creditors. So that's even more than 50%. I've called them 5 times today and each time I get different information and an apology which doesn't help me much. Now I'm locked out of my online account and and can't even see what they are doing. They have no transparency and obviously no trouble telling you lies about what is actually going on. Told me they reached a settlement agreement with my final creditor, a year and a half later than when I began which was in March/April of 2020. Asked me if I could pay $750 payment and make my regular payment when it was due to settle this last account. The got the $750 but it did not go to the creditor, as the creditor was paid when my regular payment was made in the amount of $105.00. I was told there would be no fee associated with the last settlement but they took $910.00 for their fee. You do the math!

If I could write a review without having to give a star i would do without the hesitation. That in my opinion reviews need to be rated as 0 to 5 and Beyond Financie would definitely deserves a big ZERO. They are basically doing what you practically do on your own...Negotiating with your creditors Because of financial difficulties you are unable to pay and your asking for a settlement price; and to suspend your card. Well I'm being sued by a collection agency as a result of Beyond Financie; for reasons "beyond" me (pun intended) was unable to reah an agreement with Discover. So they reached out to me by referring me to a Lender to borrow more money to resolve what Beyond Financie failed to do. Do it your self speak to your creditors tell them your situation and suspend your card. And In your credit report Beyond Finance tells you it won't show up as a bankruptcy but it does at least in mine it did.

I started using this company a year ago. Turned out costing me way more money. I was making bi-weekly payments. Which was more then I was paying towards the credit card companies. Over $115 of each payment went to their fees and I found out only $5 was going to pay the actual credit card company. Then last month a got a summons to go to court. They had not negotiated with Discover, turned out they never even contacted to tell them I was in debt consolidation. I called beyond, they said they couldn't help me. I called a local lawyer where I lived, and he told me that it was a scam and to tell beyond I wanted my money back. I was also advised to close my bank account so beyond could not keep taking my money. So now I wait to go to court next week to explain to the judge why I have no money to pay discover, and I only live on a disability check....

They promised to settle my debts with 3 banks but the settlement amount they "negotiated" would have been offered to me by the bank and saved me their whooping 23% fees payable on principal balance not the settled balance. They take their fees once I approve the settlement in advance. They failed to make a payment to one of my credit cards although the settlement was reached because the account was few dollars short and they never called me warned me. This bank withdrew the offer to settle and the situation stayed hush-hush in my account for 9 months until I decided to call them. Trying to reach any of their "courteous" operators or agents is easy, getting answers is the challenge. FInally they would not accept the responsibility for their failure to settle my card, didn't offer to refund me the amounts they paid partially to the bank that I lost or even to refund me the fees they collected on the settlement of this card which they failed to deliver. Add to it that they avoid communications by emails or mail and claim that all our conversations are on a recordede line, but they never shared with me the log of calls they claimed they made to me. I am taking them to court for sure.

I think I made a mistake hiring this company Beyond Finance I am very unsatisfied and don't feel that we had the same understanding of how this was to go on if you're negotiating my debt why is it that I have paid $2,900 in 11 months and have had one account settled wow my credit card utilization has went from 98% to 125% I keep getting threatening letters from attorneys and collectors and then I'm told they can't negotiate my other accounts until there's more money in my account this wasn't what I had in mind from what I was told I think I made a big mistake going with this company and at this point I can't recommend them to anyone else this is just the half of it but others have already said the same thing I'm thinking.

A great salesperson, fairly easy process.I am concerned about how long it takes to get approvals

Very knowledgeable and helpful starting me on my track to financial recovery

I like the way they explained every step of the process and how supportive they are.

They are very helpful and pleasant Starting off is nerve racking getting the phone calls

Great company. Service was excellent. Really wanted me to know everything about the process.

They settle all my accounts but two. Their reason have changed as to why they can’t settle the last two. I have to call for information about the last two accounts. Because Beyond can’t get anywhere with the CC company. Sure collected all your fees along the way though. Sure they will reply with some lies about what happened. Like I said before run from this company. Sure most of the 5 star reviews were lies anyway. They rather close the account up and take there money and run then help me.

I really liked them at first. But I was told that if I made all payments on time, which I did, and paid extra when I could I would be offered a loan in 6 months time. Well it's almost a year. My credit score is worse than ever, and I've asked twice about the loan and been blown off by Beyond telling me its not them but the loan company.

Everyone was so nice and helpful we finally feel like we can make headway on debt and saved us 220 a month on payments! Thank you!
