Freedom Debt Relief is a trusted financial services provider based in San Mateo. Founded in 2002, Freedom Debt Relief has grown to be the largest debt settlement company in the nation, employing more than 2,000 professionals dedicated to helping consumers overcome debt and regain financial stability. The company operates from its headquarters at 1875 S Grant St Ste 300, San Mateo, CA 94402, within The Crossroads San Mateo business center. Freedom Debt Relief is BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, reflecting its long-standing commitment to ethical business practices and customer satisfaction.
The company’s core services focus on debt negotiation and settlement. Freedom Debt Relief’s primary service is debt settlement, which involves negotiating with creditors to reduce the total amount owed by the client. The process begins with a free consultation to assess the client’s financial situation and determine eligibility for the program. If enrolled, clients deposit funds monthly into an FDIC-insured dedicated account they control. As savings accumulate, Freedom’s negotiators work directly with creditors to secure settlements for less than the full balance. Clients approve each settlement before payments are made, and the process continues until all enrolled debts are resolved.

At first i was skeptical and nervous about the program. My concern was the length of time that my debt would be paid off and second, it affects my credit score. I was nervous of the amount I was going to pay monthly to pay off my debt. A year later, I have now paid off my debts. My credit score is improving little by little but it was all worth it. Now my sister is interested in consolidating her debt but with a different company. I’m proud of my success and I hope I don’t get into any more debt. 💸 I am free of my debt
Experience was great knowing all my debts were in one place also the relief of knowing creditors weren't calling regarding monthly payment. The program is great customer service excellent my only downside is I wish that not all money-saved were taxable
I’m glad I was able to get connected to FDR. Otherwise I could be wasting a lot of money in overpaying my debt. CFT was great in providing me excellent service to repay my debt in shortest time possible at less than I expected. Just want to say “thank you”!
The staff is very professional. They handled your business very well. The staff is very informative when questions were asked. Explain everything step by step. When contacting customer service they greet with a pleasant voice. Overall they are very professional.
I have completed the first part of my program and what a journey. Freedom made that journey very effective and inspiring. Before I knew it I had completed the first half of my program. Freedom is definitely worth the time and learning process and the encouragement along the way for their wonderful representatives.
Once you get a rhythm and the end goal is to be free of debt, don't miss a payment because they are working for you to assist you and get you out of the overwhelming situation that you're in. At least that was the way it was for me.
The program is worth every sacrifice to be debt free. Giving up your credit cards that got you in trouble in the first place. That was me until I decided to get rid of my credit cards and to really work to become debt free. They are a great group of people and you will feel like the Three Musketeers, like I did. "All for one and One for all."
I had the pleasure to work with Garron Williams. From the very start of the phone call to the end Garron treated me like I was a good friend. He gave me great advice as if he knew me personally. I originally was going to try to get another loan but after hearing Garron explain things to me that made sense and kind of the way allot of loan companies will prey on people who already have loans out Garron convinced me into going with Freedom Debt Relief instead. He explained that they will go to bat for you if you ever get called to court for not paying your other loans off and instead having Freedom go to bat for you and handle all of the little headaches along they way. I was apprehensive at first but after Garron explained everything in detail I wasn’t worried at all and am finally looking forward to financial freedom after years of going back and forth with other loans off companies!
I had an excellent experience with Freedom Debt Relief. From the beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout the entire process. They took the time to clearly explain every step, answered all of my questions, and made what felt like a stressful situation much easier to manage.
What stood out most was their transparency and consistent communication. I always felt informed and confident that I was in good hands. Their customer service was responsive, respectful, and genuinely focused on helping me find the best solution for my financial situation.
I highly recommend Freedom Debt Relief to anyone looking for a trustworthy company to help regain financial stability.
Great program. Let you know where you are and what they can do. Good program

The charge of resolving the debt was not disclosed upfront. The fubds were taken out immediately after the settlement was agreed to. And the fee was quite substantially!

It’s a joke. I’ve been desperately trying to speak to a person I constantly get hung up on like this BS is a scam. I need to get on the phone with someone immediately that isn’t going to hang up on me everytime. I need a response. I need to speak to someone competent. ASAP. 315 406 6677

My experience was a good one because I was not aware of what FDR could do for me.
