### 4/5 — New Client

*2026-07-30*

I lost my job in Nov 2026, savings went fast and to convert to using my credit cards to fend the bills and other household expenses to include high priced gas my debt grew.  I searched BBB & there they were #1 😊👏🏽 After making the call my confidence grew.  They were soooo Professionally kind, compassionate and extremely understanding.  The accessible account has increased my confidence of their able because of their transparency to processing and capability online.  So even though the creditors are calling, writing and threatening, I’m safe now, I feel God has lead me into a relationship with The Five Lakes Team to handle  negotiations and intercede for my success. .When it’s all over they will have completed more than a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🙏🏽 job as far I’m concern !!♥️♥️🌹

### 5/5 — I was on a path to nowhere till five lakes

*2026-07-06*

Great people i wasn’t a typical customer but i was taken in and we found a way to improve my situation and I’ve stuck with them this long I’ll stick it out till done now. Everything is right there so you know how your case is going. There is real people there they talk to you and assure you that they can help. I’ve always talked with someone and never been disappointed they are fixing what i myself had no chance of doing alone. I done deal w debtors no more letters no calls coming in this means the world to myself I have had no stress since I came to them at all. They do exactly what they say they can and without them I would probably be on the streets or at least lost or sold everything to stay ahead but I didn’t. All I had to do was call and try to hear them out and trust them and what they have planned. I was relieved to even hear the words yes we can help you. It was a godsend to get a chance at stability a future without the mess I made over the years. Someone actually wanted to help me out when nobody else would. So five lakes took me in and I’ve never had to ask anything of them because they are there to help me , you too and even the ones that are too embarrassed to pick up the phone and call, do it if your thinking of needing help what do I do? You should take a hour make a call and believe in the process it’s not all about give me your money! It’s not to shame you it’s to do what most don’t do. Give care and offer us all help you can do it just tell them the truth your in a bad spot and need help. You too can be happy again I guarantee days and weeks later you will feel like a new person I do and it’s all because of Five Lakes and the wonderful staff and just to have someone care not tons just care about another person in need. Call Five Lakes before it’s too late you really don’t know what some will do. It’s a wonderful change to my life I can’t thank them enough. Now don’t you think it’s your turn ? Do it if you read this then you do it now you are at the right place just do it. 
Thanks again to the entire staff good people are hard to find and it’s a honor to be able to sign on with Five Lakes keep doing what you do best it’s well worth what you do for us.

### 1/5 — Funds Mismanaged and Ridiculous Payment Prices. AVOID FIVE LAKES.

*2026-08-14, version 6.127.0*

You will begin at an easy amount to pay, then Five Lakes will mismanage your money, causing your payments to double or triple without warning. I am quite literally making a rent payment to Five Lakes. I ask them for help and I stay on the phone with them for over an hour for them to say they can't do anything. Agents are nice, but these resolution offiers are terrible. 
I'm close to being out of this terrible program and I've seriously regretted every second of it. Don't do it.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-03-11, version 6.105.0*

Said the credit hits would last six months with what I owed. Credit hits are still coming after a year and six months.  Their chat after you By-Pass the AI is just people in another country hitting auto reply buttons.  I would say avoid, everything was good until after a year now I am worse off than I was before I came to them.  No new debt just garbage credit.

### 1/5 — Please don’t

*2025-10-13, version 6.85.0*

Tell you one thing and overcharged settlements you could have done yourself. Still waiting on a response from Thomas…

### 1/5 — Will mismanage your funds

*2025-10-07, version 6.84.0*

You will begin at an easy amount to pay, then Five Lakes will mismanage your money, causing your payments to double or triple without warning. Please reconsider utilizing them to "help" with your debt.

### 1/5 — Mistake

*2025-09-22, version 6.82.1*

They will mismanage your money and you will pay more money than you were on your cards in the first place 😒

### 1/5 — Don’t use

*2025-07-28, version 6.74.0*

Save yourself all the headache and please don’t use

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-01-14, version 6.46.0*

They told me they can help and after I agreed, a week later the debt collectors took all my money out of my bank and these ppl did nothing.

### 1/5 — BE CAREFUL!!!! Need attorney just to read agreement

*2024-12-20*

To start, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. Why? I was in financial hardship of my own stupidity and decided to give them a try for Credit Card debt relief. They were open and honest about the whole process during onboarding except for 1 detail. THEIR FEES!!!

When they get a resolution offer for you, and you agree, they take a 27% cut. Was this described during onboarding. NOPE. This isn't 27% off the resolution offer either. They take it from the original full balance when you signed up!!! Also, not discussed. I know you have to make money and I’m okay with that but 27%? When you’re talking debt that is as much as a car. That is a lot of money. Talk about “makin it rain”. They make the deal sound good by saying you pay a low APR and us peasants have no clue how that works except 6% seems like a good deal.

Was it in the paperwork during onboarding? Yes. Do you need a magnifying glass and an attorney to read it? YES!!! It was my own stupidity to trust a business like this without fully going over the agreement. The old ways still take effect today people. If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS!!!

Side note. I received an offer letter for half what I owed directly from the creditor. I could have agreed to that and their payment plan for a lot less and without my credit bombing too much. 

To end, you don’t need to make the same mistake I did. You see, the tactic is the waiting game. They will take something rather than nothing and if you wait long enough, they will start contacting you with a lower amount and less of a hit on your credit.

### 1/5 — Be Cautious

*2024-11-13*

When I first started Five Lakes earlier this year I was excited to finally start my journey. Throughout the process it’s been less and less communication. But one particular account is delaying me being able to move and when I called five lakes were able to assist me and said they could accommodate my need. Now when I called again to follow up, they gave me a different answer and now have hindered my situation more. If you can work directly with creditors I would try that first but be careful dealing with the program. I am going to honor because I started but be cautious.

**Developer response:** We appreciate you sharing your experience with us, even though it's disappointing to hear you’ve faced challenges. Communication is critical, and we strive to keep our clients informed throughout their journey with us. Our team is dedicated to working with creditors to help you achieve the best outcomes, and we regret that you felt hindered instead.

If you have specific concerns regarding your account or need further assistance, we encourage you to reach out to our Client Success team at clientsuccess@fivelakeslawgroup.com or 855-441-6129.

### 1/5 — Not a happy client

*2024-04-04*

My experience with them has been a nightmare !  I have been to court 4 times to help resolve an account that wasn’t taken care of in a timely manner. That’s 4 days off of work with no pay ! My payments are always on time. I just got another summons to appear in court in June ! Why aren’t all my accounts taken care of ? I joined with them over a year ago !!! Not a happy camper !!  If I have to go to court another 4 days over this acct  I am going to be livid !!!

### 5/5 — Very pleased

*2026-08-13, version 6.127.0*

We’ve been in the program for about 4 months. Everything they told us in the beginning has proven to be up front and on point. We feel relieved and we are making progress.

### 5/5 — Entire Business

*2026-08-10*

I went in thinking that it was a scam, glad I sticker through it. I am a Marine Corps vet and once I got out, I left with nothing much in my bank account. Relying on my credit card to survive. As time went on, was unable to make the minimum payments of $800 on the credit card.  Saw Five Lakes on an IG add, submitted my information, and even though my credit took a hit, I’ve been able to pay off my debt in a more affordable rate.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your journey with us. We're so glad to hear that you found a more manageable way to tackle your debt, and we appreciate your service to our country. Your commitment to financial freedom is inspiring, and we're honored to be part of your path forward.

### 5/5 — Easy, Fast, Fair, and Protected

*2026-08-07, version 6.126.0*

They do all the leg work! They have lawyers make the agreements so you have support if anyone tries to come after you. Hands down the place to go! Friends used other debt repair co.’s and still got sued and had to pay for lawyers. Don’t look further than Five Lakes!

### 5/5 — Easy and organized!

*2026-08-03, version 6.125.0*

This app is a great easy to see what is happening in your account and allows you to make additional deposits. I love it.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-07-28, version 6.124.0*

The lawyers are all well informed and very knowledgeable and awesome to work with friendly from start to finish

### 5/5 — Debt consolidation

*2026-07-24, version 6.124.0*

I have enrolled into the program due to the fact that I have become a victim of credit card debt unfortunately and falling into the pitfall that most Americans fall into. Five Lakes so far has been wonderful in their support and guidance throughout this whole process and with their continued support I should be breaking out of these financial chains soon enough.

### 5/5 — PM

*2026-07-23, version 6.124.0*

Do your part and trust the process..

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-18, version 6.123.0*

App is very easy to use and always accurate to the penny. They’ve helped me tremendously with debt I accrued after losing my job secondary to a life changing injury. They’re a great company to deal with and make getting out of crippling debts easy.

### 5/5 — Excellent Service!!!

*2026-07-18, version 6.123.0*

Five Lakes has been good to me and has provided me excellent service through the app and in person over the phone.  They have turned my life around and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of help.  I cannot thank you guys enough.

### 5/5 — They work for you

*2026-07-16, version 6.123.0*

I’m very happy with the service. I’ve been working with them for a few years now and this has actually helped me a lot. My debt is going down slowly but surely and I’m very happy with the service. They have done everything that they promised.
