Take Charge America Works…

Take Charge saved me financially and mentally. Taking my credit cards and consolidating the debt into one payment less than all the minimums. This allowed me to payoff the debt and get back on solid footing. Customer service was always friendly and professional.

Debt Free in 4 Years

This process was so helpful to get me out of credit card debt. The employees were all very helpful and kind and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs to get out of the cycle of making monthly payments that hardly lower the principal you owe on your debt.

Easily 5 out of 5 stars. I have been on the Take Charge America program twice and each time I got out of debt. I couldn't have done this without the Take Charge America and their knowledgeable staff.

The best. TCA.

Shout out to my rep, Kelly, who made this experience easy and painless. I am a budget idiot, so this is my second go round with TCA within 20 years or so. I can attest TCA is an excellent company to help with a debt situation and get you back on track. But back to Kelly, she put me at ease immediately—so calm and so kind while patiently answering a million questions— and my favorite thing—admitted when she did not have an answer and offered to contact a manager for some help. There was never a moment of pressure and complete transparency. The decision was totally mine to make. Call TCA. Stop putting it off. I am the queen of procrastination and it only makes financial issues much worse. Thanks, Kelly, I slept really well last night.
