I got a phone call regarding my business and some solutions for our debt management that I decided to take and boy am I glad I did. Even though I didn't end up doing a deal with them Mr Christopher David went well above and beyond to give me some Insider knowledge on the industry and what other options I could explore with my company as I cannot qualify for their services at this time. Any other person that I've encountered would simply say I don't qualify and would and the conversation then but Mr David went as far as to tell me to give him a call back when I was free and he would give me some advice that he has seen other businesses in my similar situation go through. The gentleman did not have to do this whatsoever but he took the time and care and truly showed compassion for my situation which I greatly appreciate and if I ever do qualify for their program I will be calling him first thing! Once again sir thank you very much for the kind words of encouragement and showing me options that I did not know that I had! God bless!

Always have been a little apprehensive about these places and resolving my debts at an honest rate and with honest people. Zane, my debt resolver, took the time to explain the risk involved in a program like this and in my case because of my payment, it wasn’t going to be a good fit for my business. Something about someone being honest in today’s world. Thanks to Zane and CDR for being upfront and honest even if it doesn’t help themselves.

I was forced to make the difficult decision a year and a half ago to default on my MCA loans after the MCAS would not help to lower and extend these debts. Angie Kelly and everyone else involved at Coastal Debt were truly a breath of fresh air! While difficult to make that decision and to grasp what was happening or could happen, I felt more at ease as time went on enjoying the brief weekly check-ins in’s with Angie. Thank you again to all of you! I highly recommend using Coastal Debt!

We’re sorry to hear that this customer is dissatisfied, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify how our business debt resolution program works.
Coastal Debt Resolve works with financially distressed businesses to negotiate and restructure high-interest commercial obligations. In this case, our team successfully negotiated the largest enrolled obligation from approximately $64,000 to $48,500 and significantly extended the repayment period to reduce weekly payment pressure, helping stabilize short-term cash flow for a struggling business.
In addition, while negotiations were ongoing, no adverse legal action was taken by the remaining enrolled creditors for more than thirteen months. Our program is designed to continue working toward resolution of all enrolled positions as long as the client remains active and cooperative in the process.
Debt resolution programs involve structured fees, third-party administrative costs, and settlement funding that are disclosed in advance and governed by written agreements. Outcomes and timelines can vary depending on creditor posture and a client’s continued participation.
After multiple good-faith attempts to connect and address concerns, the company concluded that it could not continue the program under the required cooperative framework and the relationship has since ended.
We stand by our process and our results, and we encourage any business considering debt relief to carefully review program terms and ask questions before enrolling so they can determine whether this type of solution is the right fit for their situation.
