STAY FAR AWAY from this company
STAY FAR AWAY from this company. Total SCAM. Do not trust their fake reviews here or the agents that work for them. They have been reported to BBB 95 times in the past 12 months for fraud. Check the BBB.org site and search them up. After 10 months nothing has been done from the company that they refer you to Level One Law. They are both in the scam together. Complete frauds. This company says that your credit score will rebound in 7-9 months after they negotiate and pay off the credit card balances included in their program. The truth is that will never happen. When I finally got my program back and estimated payoffs the creditors are not paid off right away and they even drag out their estimates to 2026 and 2027. Our credit is now completely ruined for trusting in this company to do what they said. When I tried to contact my agent Matthew Hanley phone now does not work and their supposedly corp number 855-906-3235 does not accept calls for you to talk with or leave a message. They are not accredited with BBB. The supposed lawyer group Level One Law is even a bigger scam. They have been reported 35 times in past 12 months for fraud business. This group has taken $6,289 from my bank over 10 months and have not done any work to resolve our creditors balances. After waiting on hold for 6 hrs this past Friday when I finally spoke to a guy named Dan and explained the situation, he hung up on me. Major headache for me and my family. I am filing a complaint with BBB for level one law to try and get my money back. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT give them your info or get involved with both these fraudulent business.

Beware of this company
Beware of this company. It is a scam. They take your money and then you don’t hear from them. You try to contact them and get nowhere. The lawyer, I talked to regarding the company, refused to take my calls.

Strategic Financial Solutions (Strategic Consulting) is being sued by CFPB…
The latest news that’s being published by the media regarding the status of Strategic Financial Solutions (Strategic Consulting) is very alarming. Since the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and 7 state attorneys general is suing Strategic Financial Solutions, how are our accounts being handled now? Everything is frozen, calls and e-mails do not connect.

? Scam
I signed up with Strategic Consulting in December 2023. I have been e-mailing my contact, Connor Celotto, at Strategic Consulting for over a week to have an update. I have not had any response. I also tried calling his phone (716-337-5459) but it does not connect. I also tried calling the Strategic Consulting number (855-906-3235) from the website and it also does not connect. Is this a scam?

Do your research
Like others, I received a mailer saying I was pre-approved for a low-interest rate loan. As soon as I went online and submitted my info, I got a call from Stretgic Consulting (not the name of the company on the mailer). It turns out that they pushed me to a debt settlement program with a law firm. I will admit that Zachary was helpful in answering my questions and didn’t hesitate to reschedule my notary appointment when I requested more time to think about it. Be aware that debt settlement can be appealing with the lower monthly payment but your credit takes a hit and you will likely get collection calls and letters for the first several months and there’s the potential of creditors suing. Everyone needs to make a decision that’s best for their situation; in my case, I found a better alternative so didn’t proceed with them. I really consider debt settlement a last resort and I’m not at that point. Also,I responded to a loan offer, not a debt settlement offer, so I do feel this is a bait-and-switch and I wasn’t comfortable proceeding. To each their own. But do your research and make an informed decision that’s best for you.

I’m cancelling
I’m cancelling, like now. I tried calling the consultant, no answer. My call won’t be even go through. I have the cancellation document which I’ve email and will mail out tomorrow ASAP. This will ruin your credit. I was soooo hesitant and still went ahead and did it. Wrong judgement on my end. I will keep you guys posted on how the cancellation goes. So far, I’m being ignored.

This has already given me hope.
This has already given me hope and could potentially renew my faith that there is a way forward in such a rigged, predatory, corrupt system. Everyone has been very nice, communication is clear, thorough, and consistent. I strongly reccomend setting up a consultation to anyone wanting a way out of the debt trap.
