Matthew of schaumburg, IL May 31, 2009 Yet another company doing America a huge non favor. During these troubling times you would think by doing the right thing to improve your life and try and not fall behind you could rely on these companies. Being a christian myself i fell into the thought i was working with other Christians. I was wrong! I had to break down my debt and give this company all my information. Finally once all that was done and i sent everything in and my payment i though I was ready to start. I was charged 488 dollars which included my first payment. I was never told about a New Horizon or that they were going to forward my info to them. I was contacting by the other company requesting all the information i had already given to CDC. I said I was never told of any of this and I did not want to take part. I contacted Christian debt consolidators and they were no help. They would not give me a refund because they said i agreed to the service and terms. I was lied to about so many things and they would not refund me my money. They claim to be a non profit organization yet they use the christian name in there title to fool the people in need and feed their hands. The management said they would only give me 150 back for a quote they gave me incorrectly. I argued that they need to give me the full amount and stated my point. They said they talked to the rep and our stories did not match and I was wrong. I kept trying and nothing happened. Instead they took away trying to refund me my 488. I am not happy at all and this company needs to be taken under. If anyone wants to do a class action law suite let me know cause I will not let more people be screwed over. BTW this happened in 2006. So it looks like they are keeping up their reputation. I'll let them answer to God. Eric of Denton, TX May 14, 2009 In September of 2006 I enrolled into a program that I thought was run as a Christian Ministry for debt relief. I paid an account fee of 199 and informed by telephone that this fee would go towards my first payment to my creditors, consolidating and lowering interest for US Bank, Bank of America, and Dell Financial Services. Little did I know that my account was then transferred to A New Horizons. (I have no complaint against A New Horizons they have been nothing but wonderful to me.) In the fall of 2008 I figured I was nearing the completion of my debt consolidation as I was told the program would take only two years. Upon attempting to contact Christian Debt Consolidators I ran into roadblock after roadblock. They would never return calls nor E-Mails. This last week I decided to go through A New Horizons. They were able to get my call returned. The person that originally set my account up at Christina Debt Consolidators called me and left a voicemail. The message was completely unintelligible. I returned the call as soon as possible and was treated with disrespect by the receptionist and then by the Senior Certified Credit Specialist C. Baker. I was cursed out over the phone and then told they were canceling my account and returning my 199 "activation fee." When asked about the monthly service fee I was again cursed out. At 8:14 PM I received an E-Mail with an attached unprofessional looking letter stating that they would return my fee upon receipt of the signed letter stating that I would take no legal action against the company. I do not agree and am countering with a letter respectfully requesting my 199.00 and the 10.00 fees totaling 719.00. I will not waive my legal rights. Tara of Peru, IN December 6, 2007

We won't get our 699 Deposit back, nor could I afford 704/month coming out of retirement income, leaving me with NO money left over to pay other bills. Now I am MINUS (-500-n-something) on my bank account, as wife makes low wages, not being able to afford paying mine and her bills, so more borrowing on credit cards to pay mortgage, utilities, etc. Christian Debt Counselors fork over services to New Horizon Debt Agency, as they told us we couldn't file for bankruptcy, even though bills outweighed our expenses. Yes, that 30% interest rate charged on 2 Chase Bank cards (they raised rates way up there from 6% to 30% once they bought out mine and other people's accounts) was brought down to 6%-7% interest; but, monthly payments are still very high, and since employers won't hire me because they think I am way too old, then I can't afford to keep up with payments, once I lost my job. Tried very hard to stay away from wanting to file bankruptcy, but debt settlements made matters WORSE, since they keep automatically withdrawing out of bank account, leaving no money to pay other bills, so now bank account is over 500 BELOW 0.00 average!
