Timberline FinancialReviews of timberlinefinancial.com

My previous review of Timberline was removed, citing my use of their employee's name in my review. That's the name given to me by your employee, which should be fair game in a review. I applied for a debt consolidation loan during a tight financial bind. I was denied by all lenders. The next day I received a phone call from CENSORED Timberline employee, telling me that I had actually been 'approved for zero percent'. When I started asking details of the loan terms, I quickly realized that he/she/them/they were not offering a loan, but were trying to enroll me in a debt relief program. When I called he/she/them out for the deception, they became irate and said 'I guess you know more about my job than I do.' Their attitude did a 180 very quickly when they realized that I was not going to sign up for their program. For those of you unaware, a debt relief program is where you completely stop paying your debtors until they begin to offer you settlements, at which point the debt relief company negotiates a settlement on your behalf for a commission that's 25-30% of the total debt. My one star review is not because I have a problem with debt relief companies... what I have a problem with is when I apply for a debt consolidation loan and you call me telling me I've been 'approved for zero percent'. I'm shopping a consolidation loan because I want to pay my debtors off more quickly. Debt relief is the exact opposite, and your credit score will plummet before it improves. These are deceptive business practices and when I wrote my first negative review, no one from the company attempted to contact me and rectify... they just reported the review and had it removed because it contained their employee's name. See my other reviews if you're looking for a more reputable debt relief company.

I would never recommend Timberline Financial to anyone!! NEVER!! They have 2 of our accounts. They'll tell you that it will take, 3-6 months to get the settlement amounts. It took 9 months for our 1st account. Our 2nd account is STILL NOT settled, a YEAR and 9 MONTHS into it !!!!! The Fees are CRAZY RIDICULOUS !!!!! 2 monthly service FEES = $25.90/month Settlement FEE (only for 1st acct.) = $2576.75 FEE for every check paid to creditors = $12.00 So total assessed Fees for 1 acct. = $3235.75 The fees we were charged, are over half of what we gained in the settlement. You're better off dealing with your creditors on your own! You'll more than likely get a better deal!

It is my pleasure to be able to complement this excellent company on their professional approach to business. Haley Stevens and the entire staff on dealing with my debt reduction and credit score improvement have been outstanding. They have responded to every question I have had with patience and courtesy. They quickly responded to the one suit I received from one of the clients they are trying to deal with. I feel completely comfortable with this company handling my financial problems.

Litigation support manager David Briggs is a gem. Polite, professional and thorough. A pleasure to deal with.

Honest, helpful and knowledgeable
