Beyond Finance

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.

Everyone was very nice and helped me to understand everything very clear.

Easy to speak with. Everything explained and all my questions answered.

Very polite people. No pressure but explained things in an easy to understand way

I do not recommend anyone to go forward with this program. They did nothing for me and I still paid 5000 dollars for nothing!! They don’t tell you they have a 25% fee so when you decide to cancel they take all of your money. If I could give them zero stars I would.

Beyond collected enough money to pay off one account I did not accept the offer I felt the settlement amount was still to high. Then I asked how much they were charging and it was $900 at that point I fired them. They were only going to reduce my $28,000 debt by $6,000. .

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!

Everything were More Than I Expected Best Services Ever Very Helpful They Answer All My questions & Explained Everything I Need To Know With Patience

Be careful and read the fine print, this company is still drawing money out of my account apparently a $215.00 termination fee which no one discuss with me, I am guessing it's my penalty fee for no longer using their service.

The initial conversation with Diana was great and we found the experience reassuring. We are still in the early days of the process, but so far we are satisfied.

As a person that nervous when comes to credit or debt the specialist made me feel comfortable in putting my finance in your care

If you're interested in a debt resolution I highly recommend Beyond Finance been with them a little over a year and they are doing a fantastic job

I gave beyond over $8,500 over 9 months and they applied only $1,241 to my creditors! $6,949 they took for their settlement frees, absurd! I canceled the program with $2,271 left in my special purpose account and expected to get that back but they did not refund me a single penny and added that to their settlement fees! In total they paid 15% to my creditors and 85% to themselves. They were settling with creditors for 50% off but the creditors were calling me offering me the same savings! DO NOT WASTE your money on this company and settle with your creditors yourself.

Beyond Finance made it easier for me to deal with my credit card debt. They were great to work with and I deeply appreciate their efforts.

What they basically tell you to do is to ignore all your creditors, for months, or even years. Only after your credit takes a beat down that they start to negotiate with your creditors, which you can easily do yourself without paying beyond. One of my creditors threatened to take me to court, so I opted to handle this ONE creditor (out of 4) on my own, beyond kindly agreed to let me handle it on my own, however never warned me that they had already charged me 2100 . DO NOT use this service. They call you more than your creditors, and charge ridiculous amounts for doing nothing.
