    We had over a 780 credit score. Then we decided to have Slate Legal Group help us with four credit cards we had. They end up taking $15,000 from us and never reached out to the credit card companies. Before we knew it the credit cards were summing us to go to court for our debt. Since we signed the rights away to slate to control those cards we cannot call them to pay them off ourselves. So we had to file chapter 13 bankruptcy just to take possession of those four cards and pay them off. This is a huge scam company

    I had an "approval" call with ****. **** no showed for our scheduled appointment. I rescheduled with his colleague. **** was 4 minutes late to our second appointment and apologized for no showing, stating he didn't get a notification. He then asked a few questions. He was asking about other companies I was comparing them too, and asked why I didn't go with them. I told him one company was expensive and never answered my questions straight forward, they gave me long answers and I was on a time constraint, since I am a business owner running a business by myself, I don't have time for long winded answers. **** said he couldn't give me a number, and they valued a "working relationship", told me "good luck" and immediately hung up. How can we have a working relationship if you refuse to give me a price? Talk about rude! No show our first appointment, inconsiderate of my time, then HANGS UP! Glad to be moving on to another company!

    A lawsuit just dropped:***************************************************************************** If, like me, you are/were a Slate customer, this is why they are no longer picking up the phone or returnng emails. If you have any money in their account, get it back asap.

    TOTAL AND COMPLETE SCAM!!!!! My husband got sick back in 2020 and thought that this would be a good way to help with the finances since he was unable to work. I have been paying SLATE $1444 a month since March of 2020. I have had ONE debt resolved since then. They are now telling me that on top of the $1444, that I will have to pay an additional $800 for 20 extra months to resolve another debt. WTF???? We were supposed to be done with the program in June 2024****debt free!!!! Nope, not with this scam of a company. My husband has since passed March of this year. I received a life insurance payout and reached out to SLATE to pay off all debt in cash right now. Guess what****.. they won't let me do it!!!! They have come up with every excuse in the book to not accept my money. What is wrong with these people? How are they able to take advantage and steal peoples money like this?? I am so upset and do not know how I can get out of the mess I'm tied up in with them. Has anybody been successful in this program? Is there a way to get out of it? I literally have cash in hand to pay my debts off and can't even do that because "they aren't aloud to talk to me directly". This is a shame that this company is still in business. Oh, and you got one star because I couldn't post this without a rating. Well, my rating is a big fat ZERO****

    My husband and I began the program in February 2021 and have paid them $18,500.00. They have negotiated current payment plans on some of our debts, but they only follow up with our creditors when we receive a notice a summons from the court and send them the paperwork. By the time late fees and interest increase over time, the debt ends up being so much higher than when we initially enrolled in the program. Therefore the settlement offers after negotiations are very poor in my opinion. When we got behind, we should of negotiated directly with our creditors. Most of our payments have gone to their initial fees. It is like we paid them to make our situation more stressful than it already was! Back in December of 2022 they attempted to negotiate a debt for about $200 more than the original balance and wanted us to deposit $300 that day. It was two days before Christmas and we didnt want to send them anymore money than we already have.so we said we need more time. We have not heard from then since and we call every week. The attorney assigned to the case has been of no help either. He does not reply to emails in a timely manner at all. My husband was very ill and we got behind on bills and now there seems no light at the end of the tunnel. I sincerely hope the BBB can help us with this company. If nothing can be done to help us at this point, I am just hopeful the next person reads their horrible reviews before they commit. We are certainly not their only clients that have had a horrible experience.

    The process & everything was easy. Getting the paper trail information is like pulling teeth. I exited the program Jan 19th 2023, so I can close on my house but I need the follow up letter, they said it would be 3-5 business days it is now Feb 4th and I'm still waiting and now can't close on my house... I have called 3 times since Jan 26th with a run around that I will get the information. They have jeopardize my percentage rate which is up as of Feb 6th.

    Funny how I miss a draft after I've called numerous times and 1 percent of my debit has been handled after 2yrs and now I'm getting garnished when you were suppost to help with my accounts.Got told that the person handing my accounts had been gone for months and he didn't work on them for 6mths. See it from my point of view. You people are garbage making people's lives worse rather than better im working 2 jobs as a single father with 2 children and asked for help and this is how you handle your firm. By putting people in worse predicaments then If would of just handled it myself but now it's so far gone that I'm at the mercy of whom ever can help me out. Paid yourself first before even taking a glance at my debit shame on you! Believe me I believe in karma and I hope your whole firm gets it 100x worse then what I'm going through. I know I'm nothing but a number to your firm and money is all you see and profit for yourselves and its all greed! I have to look at my children every night I know I created my debit and it was self infected but I maintained it till it got put in your hands One ****** off client **************************** Show quoted text This is what I wrote no response has been made!!
