My experience was positive from beginning to end. This was a very trying time, but the service I received made it a lot more tolerable. They communicated with me with every step so I was always aware of what was happening and what to expect next. When I had questions, they responded to we within 24 hours. I have no complaints about Debtstoppers.

Wilma Thomas 1.
Case 10-92494
My name is Wilma R. Thomas, case 10-92494. I received a letter from US. Bankruptcy 13, Judge C. Ray Mullins that my Debtor"s 11U.S.C. 1328 Certificate had not been received. Therefore my case is being ordered, close without discharge.
I had send a 1328 Certificate dated 12-14-2015, to my and Trustee Nancy Whaley and my
Attorney then Robert Cairns. I had to call Semrad to find out who my Attorney was. to mail form.
I spoke with Attorney Cairns and got his address. "He stated, "I was only 10% that successfully completed a Chapter in 5 years."
I also sent to Judge Mullins. However, the address was not complete, He never received. I did not realize, Attorney Cairns should have taken
care of that. However, I called his office and got a recorded, message..
Attorney Robert Cairns had left Semrad. I was not notified.
I was never set up an email account with Semrad.
I spent a great deal of money on my case 10-92494. Five (5) years my paycheck was garnished. I attended every class, and did what, I was required to do.
Now, I had to pay another $435.00 to reopen my case 10-92494. To pursue Chapter 13 discharge. I think, it a great injustice!!.

The process was easy and professional.
The personnel at times would seem to demonstrate that they were knowledgeable but often didn't connect with me. But always answered any questions that I may have had, or find someone that could . Some time if I had to call back I would be put on hold a lot or get transfered to another person, but in the end my questions would get answered.

Great Help But...
My experience was good. They got creditors to stop calling, they stopped wage garnishments that would have caused more problems. I would use debt stoppers again but there are some things that I didn't like at all:
1. The attorney assigned to my case changed several times without notice and when I had questions it was always someone new.
2. The paralegal assigned to my case was great when I could get them to respond. They were very difficult to contact at times and did not always return emails or phone calls within 24-48 hours.
3. There was no coaching as to what was happening with my case especially as I was getting to the end of my case. Even after a successful discharge from bankruptcy I have not heard from Debt Stoppers except for this request for a review.
4. There were no incremental contact points where my status, rights, progress or expectations were discussed.

Great!
Great experience. Everyone was very professional and, even though they were never able to reclaim money owed to me from a creditor, it was still a good experience.

Debtstoppers really did me well. I was in debt with no way of paying what I owed. I was stressed out. When I considered bankruptcy, Debtstoppers walked me through the process and showed me realistically the benefits and consequences of bankruptcy. They we honest with me. I first went to other law firms and they were ridiculous with their pricing. Debtstoppers outlined a payment plan that totally fit my budget in frequency of payment and price. Thank you Debtstoppers!

My experience
My over all experience was great however some collectors still called me when I had the understanding they wouldn't. I do like and appreciate the online courses I took I use the pointers to my day to day routine and they are very helpful.
