The CFPB Enforcement Action

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently filed a lawsuit claiming that FDR failed to disclose that certain creditors will not negotiate with debt settlement companies. FDR strongly disagrees with this claim. FDR has developed strategies to negotiate settlements with debts from all creditors. In fact, since 2010, FDR settled $1.2 billion in debt (nearly 200,000 accounts) for clients with accounts from the credit card issuers listed in the complaint. ConsumersAdvocate.org cannot judge the merits of the CFPB’s enforcement action against FDR at this time. But the claims—even if true—are limited to whether FDR adequately disclosed its ability to negotiate with certain creditors. ConsumersAdvocate.org is not aware of any claims that FDR has unlawfully charged consumers or otherwise failed to provide services to its customers. You can find more information about the lawsuit at the CFPB’s site here: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-sues-freedom-debt-relief-misleading-consumers-about-its-debt-settlement-services/

Final Verdict

Freedom Debt Relief has a higher overall rating than Brownstone Law Group Debt Consolidation. Freedom Debt Relief scores better than Brownstone Law Group across: Reputation, Qualification, and Pricing & Fees. Both companies score similarly on Services.
