Our clients say it best. Hear from people we've helped about their financial recovery journey and their experiences with BDO.
I received my discharge certificate today. What a liberating feeling. I have been struggling with my finances for over a decade and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I still have a long hard hill to climb to rebuild and repair the damage that has been done. But I am ready and prepared to take all the steps necessary. I wanted to reach out and say thank you, and not just a thank you for doing your job, but a heartfelt thank you. This is one of the hardest things I have had to do; it took a massive hit to my pride and I felt like a failure. You were always so kind and supportive, as well as firm when need be! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you. I suppose in your profession a success is not to have repeat customers (lol) and I intend to be one of those successes. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and I wish you nothing but the best in life.

I wanted to tell you how this Proposal impacted my life. Even though my credit is low for a while, I feel great. I got a secured credit card this summer and have been using it and paying it. TransUnion credit score is up to 623 (it was in the 400s). Equifax is still in the 400s, but is slowing improving. I also have managed to save $30,000! I have a plan to get a house in two and a half years. Thank you for everything you have done for me. I know I’m just a client but your work, kind words and sympathy saved me.
