★★★★★ Some bad financial decisions including being laid off resulted in huge credit card debt and other loans we were never going to be able to pay off. After I finally got fed up with the collection calls and bills my husband and I decided to get some help. I called Yanchdey from a friends referral. We met them that day, where they explained our options. We decided on bankruptcy giving up many things we didn’t really need, and the counseling was great for us at our age. It wasn’t easy, but we are much happier and debt free. Thanks Again, would recommend.

★★★★★ I needed to get out of debt. I still had a student loans of $14,000, credit card debt and had just received a letter of garnishment. A credit counselor recommended YanchDey. They were easy to speak with and listened to me. Together we discussed the pros and cons and options available. The bankruptcy will pass, but I’m much happier without the burden of debt in my life. I should have gotten the financial counseling years ago, but YanchDey were great. If you’re in debt call, you’ll be happy you did.

I work with individuals, couples and families dealing with addictions and recovery. Over the years I have referred, many clients to Yanch Dey in order that they might get their financial affairs in order. The people at Yanch Dey are genuinely warm and caring about the people they serve. I conduct follow up interviews with all my referral clients. Without exception they express their deepest appreciation for the way they were treated. They are especially pleased with the results from their having been able to restructure their financial affairs. I do not hesitate to give Yanch Dey my highest recommendation.

Excellent customer care. Meeting set up very quickly, negotiated with my creditors resulting in me paying almost 1/2 of what I owed, taking me quickly out of debt. Have recommended friends and family to them and would do so again.
