Did you get a pre-qualification loan mailer where you got pitched with Glacier Bay Law?

What are the reviews? What’s BBB?

Has Your Credit Been Negatively Affected? What Are Good Debt Consolidation Alternatives?

You joined a debt consolidation program, and now you may have been sued for unpaid debt and your credit score may have plummeted. So, what are alternatives to debt consolidation?

We built a free debt consolidation alternatives calculator below that compares cost, duration, and pros and cons of key debt consolidation alternatives.

Let’s go through the reviews.

Reviews Breakdown

From my research, Google and BBB tend to have reviews that may be less biased than other review sites, so I often look at those reviews first.

The first thing that I noticed on Glacier Bay Law’s BBB page was that the accreditation has been revoked. The reason was that Glacier Bay did not openly identify the nature, location, and ownership of business and clearly disclose material facts that bear on customer’s decision to buy.

That said, let’s look at the other reviews.

BBB

Unlike companies such as Phoenix Legal Group who have similar characteristics, Glacier Bay actually has a 4.89 out of 5 based on 83 reviews. That said, it has an F rating on BBB.

Some of the positive reviews talk about how the company has been helpful and great with communication. That said, two individuals mentioned in their reviews that they had just started with the company recently, which was actually address in another reviews.

One of the review such as this one speaks about how they had put in a lot of money into thir accounts, and they had only dealt with the smaller accounts.

That said, Bryan D actually mentioned in his 1 start review that the company asks you to review them “right after you start with them”.

So, Glacier Bay may request you to review the company right after enrolling where you may feel the debt burden has been lifted, not when your credit score drops 100 points or the original estimate is $3000 more than planned.

Google

I couldn’t find any Google reviews for Glacier Bay law even after searching this text, “Glacier Bay Law Ketchikan, AK 99901-6575 Google reviews”. So, it may be that the company never created a Google my business profile.

TrustPilot

There were a number of TrustPilot reviews. In my experience, I have seen companies send people over to TrustPilot for reviews, so I don’t often write about its reviews in my reviews, but let’s take a quick look as it’s available.

Most of the reviews are quite positive with individuals talking about their experience. That said, there was at least one individual that stated a negative experience about the negotiations itself.

 

So, What is Glacier Bay Law

Glacier Bay Law is a debt relief law firm located at 300 Mill Street, Suite 20, Ketchikan, AK 99901 and appears to be offering debt relief. Glacier Bay Law’s phone number is 1-844-856-9085. One of the things I found fascinating is that Glacier Bay Law appears to be in Alaska, but it’s address states that the company is in “500 Cummings Center, Suite 4500, Beverly, MA 01915” (Source: glacierbaylaw.com/contact-us/)

 

When you Google that address, you find the address for DMB Financial, a debt relief firm.

In debt relief, the company would try to negotiate the balance for less than is owed. I have seen similarities across Glacier Bay Law and other entities, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Glacier Bay was part of a much bigger organization.

When I review entities, I like to see how long the website has been around. As such, I found that Glacier Bay Law’s website may be rather new.

For example, I found that first pulled Glacier Bay Law home page screenshot was from just December 5, 2021, which is less than 2 years later than when this article was written.

Your Options

If you would like to stay enrolled with Glacier Bay Law you may want to read the Client Services Agreement in its entirety. Because they are a law firm, have they been taking out fees before settling debt? This is one outstanding question I have.

If you’d like to cancel, you may be able to contact them directly, but you may also have to get assistance from your bank if they do not allow you to cancel the program easily.

My family was grappling with the burden of credit card debt. We had explored various avenues, including debt relief companies and consolidation loans, but everything seemed dubious and left us feeling uncertain. That all changed when I came across Ascend and had the opportunity to connect with Justin. He reached out to me on the very same day, and from that point forward, things took a turn for the better.

I provided Justin with an overview of our financial situation, our objectives, and the timeline we hoped to achieve our goals within. He promptly outlined the possible courses of action and presented a thorough breakdown of our various options. What truly stood out was Justin’s approach—he never pressured me into making a quick decision. Instead, he offered me the information and allowed me to ask questions at my own pace.

Upon selecting the path we wanted to pursue, Justin facilitated our connection with a non-profit organization. Much to our delight, they exhibited the same level of courtesy, expertise, and patience that Justin had demonstrated. In retrospect, the entire experience instilled a sense of confidence within us. We now believe we have a solid foundation and are well on our way to achieving financial success!

Ben and his assistant Jeffrey from Ascend Finance did an awesome job helping me to find an attorney who could talk with me openly and honestly about Chapter 13 as an option for my financial situation. Before finding out about Ascend’s bankruptcy calculators, I was stuck on a wheel of countless offers for consolidation loans, but always steered towards debt settlement or debt management plans over and over again due to my credit score and high utilization percentage. Based on data I entered into Ascend’s calculator, Ben and Jeffrey reviewed my situation and quickly connected me with a skillful, experienced bankruptcy attorney. I finally feel like I’m on the best path to being debt free; one that will save me a lot more money than any of the debt settlement or debt management programs that other companies and agencies have offered me… THANKS Ben, Jeffrey and Ascend!!

These guys are truly a beacon for those of us with too much debt. From the start where I found Ben on the YouTube channel Ascend I have been treated as a real person by real people. Even getting a personal call helping me figure things out. I went through one of the lawyers recommended by Ascend and as of January 2nd I am debt discharged, and already have a great credit card from Mission Lane for $2000. Things are getting back into place and my life feels so much less stressful due to the weight of debt being off my shoulders.

PLEASE give these guys a call if you are even considering any sort of debt relief be it bankruptcy, consolidation, or whatever other types of debt relief are out there. I can’t thank the Ascend team enough. (I was not paid to post this, or told to do this. I am genuinely so thankful to have the help when I needed it most♥️)
