Has anyone dealt with Hess Kennedy & Company or Credicur

Cajun:

At least I am not whining about my debt or my law firm. These people expect magic and complaint about how they owe credit card companies $15,000.00 have paid in $1200 to their debt settlement company and want to know why they have not settled their debt.

Do you know how many times I have told a consumer that I have not heard from Hess Kennedy and they believe me and cancel with the law firm.

They deserve everything they get. They are fickle, unsophisticated, and have the same expections of immediate gratification from their settlement company as they do with their credit cards.

This company was recommended to my son by the army to try to get his debts settled. He lost the original papers to give them power of attorney and wrote asking for replacement. He never got them. In the meantime they deducted nearly $1500 from our bank account and never paid a penny on his behalf. Recently he contacted them to stop the deductions and to find out what was going on. They did stop taking money but refunded only a little over $500 of the $1500. The rest was to cover the cost of administrative services which were never performed. Additionally the man with whom he talked told him, "I'm wasting my time talking to you." And hung up. Form your own conclusion.

1-877-590-1847 EXT101 ASK FOR MARK LAWA HE IS ONE THAT I AM WORKING WITH VERY NICE BUT PUSHY LOL i think it has something to do with the fact that i procrastinate. :o) He's a nice guy who will work hard for you.

I am a loan officer and I'm helping a girl right now who has been paying them for over a year and they have done nothing for her. All her credit Cards are in default and she is being sued!

They screwed my son big time. They took $1500 from him and never paid a penny on his debts. He talked with one woman who said they had and a man who said, "I'm wasting my time talking to you." They returned a little over $500 to him and kept nearly $1000 for absolutely no services rendered.

I signed up with Hess Kennedy in January of 2007. I have been paying them like clock work and nothing has been done. I have called and called and called and left many messages and nobody will call me back. I want to cancel my account with them because I can do what they said they would do way faster. They are slow and try to act like they care and they dont. I am sick and tired of getting the run-a-round and thats all you get from this company. DO NOT sign anything with Hess Kennedy.

I am very sorry i ever tried to use this hess kennedy co. I am still waiting for my 682.00 they deducted from my account and never ever paid a thing after i told them i want it canceled i might add. Don,t do it dont sing up they are frauds.

Do NOT go through this "company". My friend just got scammed out of $3000 and found out this company does this to everyone...They change their phone number and location and you can never reach them. My friends credit is now going to be screwed up for at least 2 years.

Very simple, I have empathy for those who have posted of their financial woes and bad experiences, however I also have had experience with debt and debt management options and it sounds like this list consist of some individuals who either have a grudge, or did not listen carefully to the programs they were enrolling in. In order to effectively eliminate debt, there are a couple of options before the wall of BK, which are consolidation, or settlement. Each has benefits and pitfalls, and it is each persons soul responsibility to listen carefully and ask questions. If you put faith in another with no self thought, you guide and allow yourself to faulty decision making.

I was leary for the past few months reading all these posts saying how they have been screwed. I was contacted today by hess kennedy and I have 2 cards being settled. Chase bank settled my first. I owed 13000. The settlement was for 4500. I cant believe it. I have been with them for 18 months. Glad I stuck with them. This is no joke guys. I still have one more card and im hoping that it will get half.

What's that number for?

It almost seems like there is motive against HK here. I'm willing to be that there are several different posters with the same ip address saying negative things about them.

If they are as terrible as the majority is saying, then the state would shut them down. Right?

HELLO,
I HAVE NOT DEALT WITH HESS KENNEDY & COMPANY PERSONALLY, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD, THEY ARE PRETTY PROFESSIONAL. ADVICE: CHECK WITH BBB
GOOD LUCK. :)

This site offers some very effective counseling that you all may find helpful. The consolidation and counseling signup page will allow you sign up for debt consolidation and counseling services.

I have not worked with either of those companies personally but a good rule of thumb is to read everything carefully. Good Luck.

I too have been looking into debt consolidation companies and was interested in information on this company. Are there any other ways other than BBB to investigate a companies legitimacy?

Does anyone know if Hess and Kennedy have other locations outside of Florida? If not do you know if they recommend anyone in the state of Tennessee.

I had an excellent experience working with this company. I had over $11,000 in credit card debt. I was able to consolidate the debt, reduce the debt and pay off the debt within a time period I never dreamed possible. Thumbs up for this company!!

Thanks for all the tips you gave everyone. I think I will give them a call for a free trial, what is the worst that can happen? Nothing :-)

I would try putting the name in a search engine like: Google or Yahoo, and look for the information your searching for. Good luck with your search.

Maria, I have looked and looked and cannot find a number for them, it looks like they prefer email through [email]CustomerCare@CCCAmerica.org[/email]. Sorry I couldn't help more, if you need anything else, just ask! Happy to help!

Check with the locall BBB and states AGs.

I don't have personal experience with Hess Kennedy & Company, but I have heard that they are good in dealing with debt consolidation. They can assist you in making the right choices in regards to financial problems. They also make sure your rights as a consumer are protected.

Wow-this is the most action we've had on these HK threads in months! Kudos to you HK folks for coming out!!

Took them long enough.

I have never used either of these 2 companies, but I have heard great reviews about both.

How much is the usual charge from a debt consolidater ?

Really???Thanks for that info Christina...you should register with this site so you can PM me that info.

I've never dealt with them personally or heard of them I would suggest just gathering some more infomation, and shop around a little to find a company that matches your needs and wants. :)

Christina, If you have heard sucj great thing about them , why didnt you use them. Anyway you all should be finished with this silliness soon. Finish up and then please vanish

Kash you hit the nail on the head.

There are many debt consolidation services out there, be sure when you call to ask thorough questions about what the service does, and how they'll do it.

poof

Hi Alex,

I have not had any dealings with either Hess Kennedy & Company nor Credicur, I am also trying to get debt relief so will let you know what I find out.

I hope you find the info you are looking for.

Wow! you guys are right you need to go check them out now!

Right about what???

I once did debt consolidation and it worked for me I was able to pay off 75% of my debt within a year and I my credit score has improved. I have never heard of the company you're going through so it would'nt hurt to do some research before making your decision.

While I haven't used the companies you list, debt consolidation has the power to set a person free from debt stress assuming they stick to the new payment program and use common sense on future promises.

So it's been a while... has any poster here had any luck with these companies? Are you satisfied with their services?

Thank you!

A coworker of mine went through Hess Kennedy & Company last year, she was very pleased with the quick and courteous service she recieved.

Hi Alex,

I personally have not had experience with this company. I would suggest checking out any business with the better business bureau.

There are many good companies that provide debt colidation and I would ask yours friends and others before you make your final choice.

I have used them in the past with good results. It really lifted a large burden off my shoulders.

In my attempts to consolidate my debt I have dealt with neither of these companies.

Alex

Alot of these companies help the consumer. They typically work with the creditor to reduce your overall debt, late charges and focus on getting the balance paid off. In most cases, they also reduce what is owed.

If HK & Co. are lawyers, then I am positive that you will have the best assistance with paying off your student loans!

I am looking into credit counseling and am wondering if anyone could give me any insight about Hess Kennedy & Company or Credicur?

Hess Kennedy do not provide credit counseling services. There are numerous threads regarding this company for you to refer to. You also need to check them out with the BBB and Google them to see what comes up.

Hello, I'm sure you could find their phone number by searching on the internet.
