Pioneer Law FirmReviews of pioneerlawfirm.com

We put 4 cards into a program in April 2014, with a 3 yr pay-off . The payments were taken via Autopayment into Escrow account. The Amount piled up into the ESCROW and Pioneer did not do any followup with Creditors in the First year. After 8 months of payment, they came back with some negotiation on one of my Card which was almost close to what i Owed. The Negotiation did not help, as the Creditors sent me 1099 by the year END and i ended up paying while filing Taxes for the year. CHASE, CITI, AMEX do not negotiate with Pioneer as they have negotiation issues with the Firm. When Finally i cancelled my A/c from the program, i had to go through 4-5 calls to give some sort of recording for why i am cancelling. Still waiting to get my balance from ESCROW. Just Run away, not worth taking their services. I made a huge mistake, i should have listed to the banks and gone through their own settlments, as all these credit card companies settle for almost 60% of the money u owe, Call them directly if you ever have issues paying your creditors.

Pioneer failed to do their due diligence and confirm that I am listed on accounts placed in their program. The joint accounts have not been paid for 8 months by Pioneer and none of the creditors have been contacted. I am being contacted constantly by the joint creditors and now my credit score has decreased from 685 to 510. I called Pioneer to tell them they have unethically impacted my credit and did not have authorization to place my accounts into this program. They refused to help me at all, despite pointing out that I am owner of the accounts. They stated they won't even contact me with a resolution. This is ridiculously illegal and unethical business practices to do this to someone. They have devestated my credit score, and caused me the inability to relocate, make new purchases, or buy a home. They have, LITERALLY, destroyed my ability to start my life over. And, when notified of their role in this, they minimized it and have no desire to appropriately investigate it or resolve it. In order to correct this, I now need to file litigation, thereby causing additional financial distress - which contradicts their desire to help people. Absurd, ridiculous, illegal, unprofessional business practices! They are representing that they represent my accounts. They are telling my creditors they have been hired to handle my accounts. If you represent me, you answer to me. But, they will not help me, but control my credit. This is no different than identity fraud. Fix this!

34 months in the program only to be told it would take an additional 11 months. That is after paying an extra $206 a month for 12 months. We were told at that time the program would be shortened by "3 to 5 months". I have found the company to to be deceptive and dishonest at best. I have to almost harass them to get a return call from "upper management", in the end it will cost us more than $10,000 more than the original contract, but that's just an estimate (sarcasm totally intended)

If I could give Pioneer a negative rating, I would! We are completing the "last" month of our 36 month "program", in which we were led to believe that Pioneer would negotiate settlements for 4 credit cards. I started asking questions 4 months ago about the settlement of a Visa card that was still outstanding, with no response, either by phone or e-mail. Pioneer got 3 of the cards settled, but guess what, the card with the largest outstanding amount was NOT settled - only the smaller ones. This company scams people into believing they can help you get out of debt. But guess what, all they do is charge exorbitant fees (by my calculations, 38% of the total!) and don't take care of the largest amounts. Then they tell you "we can continue with the program if you want, and we'll take care of the last card". A total lie and ripoff. I wish I would have known this 3 years ago and we would have found a credible company for help. Stay away from Pioneer!!!

Don't go with them. We wonted to pay of our program earlier, but they asked as for additional 8000$.I almost get I heart attack I don't know what to do except to sue them. There is no way to get to speak with manager's.As soon as they take a money for them self, you or on your own .I just find out after 38 months being with them I own almost the same amount of money as I owned on the beginning of the program,and I am paying 700$ every month .

I've been with Pioneer for two years with one credit card. Out of the blue after making regular payments to them I am served a garnishment notice. I finally go a hold of the negotiator and he tole me to go to court myself and try to get an exception for the garnishment. I did not know of this until two weeks of the date of it happening. They have not helped me on bit thus far, if there was anything I could do to help them help me I would have. Update. Do Not Go With This Law Firm!! After being garnished and told to go to court. I continued making monthly payments. They were taking almost $200 a month and almost $300 to the credit card. I got a call from them asking me to call them. They told me there wasn't enough money in my global account back 3-4 months. After three times attempting to contact someone, taking an hour on hold each time. Finally then told me they are going to have to re-negotiate. At this point I was livid. I called Capitol one myself, and negotiated a settlement $200 more than what they told me before they let the account lapse. Every time you call the dysfunction staff always says they will 'reach out someone'. If you do go with good luck, and I hope you don't have Mike Bunyan as your symbolic negotiator. (The only reason they paid me back the $1700 that was garnished is because I filed a claim with the better business bureau.

After waiting over an hour on three separate instances they took over an hour. Now after I edit this review they send me their basic not a good fit thanks and bye. Fifty-three Months with them and I had to settle on my own.

We are currently involved, came to them to try to resolve our financial crisis, instead of turning to bankruptcy. They are not paying what they said, and won't return calls when they say they will. Wish I could start over and not go down this path.

Do not use this company, they are nothing but bad and do not follow through on what they tell you!!! PLEASE find another company!!!!
