If you’re looking for a way to get out of debt, you may have come across Slate Legal Group. What is this company? What do they do? What are the reviews? Should you sign up?

Let’s go through the reviews.

Slate Legal Reviews

If you ask me, two of the most unbiased, holistic review sites are BBB for reviews and complaints and Google reviews. Review sites may tend to be a bit more negative, but they seem to be a good source of information and help us understand customer experiences with a Slate Legal Group.

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?

So, what are the other reviews?

BBB

On BBB, Slate Legal Group currently has a 1.19 rating based on 42 reviews, and a B+ rating. When I see these types of reviews, I wonder whether someone else is signing people up for Slate Legal Group. I wonder if Slate Legal Group is not doing direct marketing themselves.

One of the reviews such as the one below speaks about how Slate Legal Group ended up charging nearly 60% in fees to have this person’s debt negotiated. In addition, the reviews reflect a lack of responsiveness and terrible customer service.

It seems like there are many people who are unhappy with Slate Legal Group.

Google

On Google, Slate Legal Group has a 2.6 rating based on 40 reviews.

One of the biggest things I noticed from the Google reviews is that many people reported the Slate Legal Group would take their fees before anything was settled. Slate Legal Group’s Google reviews also reflect a lack of responsiveness and good customer service. The person below even mentions that they had to call Slate Legal Group to remind them to make the payments.

Here is the review that Google says is most relevant:

So, What is Slate Legal Group?

Slate Legal Group appears to be a Debt Relief law firm that is pitching debt settlement. I wouldn’t be surprised if Slate Legal Group was tied to a much bigger organization as it appears that there are more of these firms that have similarities.

When I look at these companies, I like to understand how old the website is and see any information I can about the company.

What I found interesting is that Slate Legal Group’s website (per Wayback machine) has been around for almost 5 years according to BBB, but their website is only 3 years old.

Your Options

You may be wondering what you should do now? You are not stuck in your program with Slate, you can get out! Try to contact them or your bank if you are unable to reach Slate.

If you would like to stay with Slate Legal Group, you may want to read the Client Services Agreement in its entirety. If they are taking out fees before settlement, why are they doing that? What are they actually doing for you and what’s the percentage fee they charge?

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♥️)
