One thing that is important to me is communication and transparency. Take Charge America does a great job at that. I started with them 5 years ago, and they helped me reach my goals, become debt free,... See more

Seems to take too long to get creditors…
Seems to take too long to get creditors paid. We keep getting notices on how the payments aren't being received on time by creditors and that they will cancel agreements with TCA and demand full payment if lateness continues. The lower payments for the creditors is the only strong point we've really seen from TCA.
I enjoy the ability to pay my creditors…
I enjoy the ability to pay my creditors in full using your program
Both that I spoke were understanding
Both that I spoke were understanding. They were kind, reassuring, so very respectful. They didn’t make me feel like they were rushing, but listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. They did go the extra mile. It’s wonderful to know I have an excellent team working for me. It was not complicated, it was easy. So glad that I called TCM.
It is what it is
Take charge did get letters submitted etc and converted my Debt to one monthly plan however I consistently still get contacted by creditors saying that the payments aren’t being made according to the agreement and take charge gives me very little service or help. It is what it is.

This is a great company and has me…
This is a great company and has helped me tremendously to get out of debt!
TCA is great
TCA has helped our family get out of credit card debt not once but twice. It is reassuring to have such knowledgeable and professional help in them. They explain everything well and make the process very easy. I recommend them for anyone who may need help with their debt.
It was very easy to apply
It was very easy to apply and get excepted. All of my questions were answered right away. The payment ended up being a little higher than was quoted. That’s why I gave it four stars instead of five.
Easy and such nice people to work with
Easy and such nice people to work with! This has been a frat experience
No judgement, jut responsive and kind.
TCA was very easy to work with. They were responsive and kind. There was no judgement, no guilt, just people helping me take charge of my debt and helping me make sure it doesn't happen again. 5/5 stars.
Take Charge America was so good to us. They looked after us on the way to debt free with the change cards

It was a very clear process and handled…
It was a very clear process and handled very fast. I can sleep at night 🌙 now. It will take me a long time (4 years) to payoff, but my credit is intact and I have learned a valuable lesson about purchasing things impulsively. I still enjoy shopping within my confines and I appreciate the things I purchased more now with real money not credit. Thank you everyone who assisted me.
I created a lot of debt
