Very informative in giving you the information you need to get all of your questions answered about their process in filing your case, which was a very fast and thorough process. You will be more than satisfied with their work, with very little effort on your part.

Debt Stoppers were able to stop a creditor from taking me to court and garnishing my wages from a previous debt I owed years ago! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND DEBT STOPPERS for anyone who's struggling with past debt or creditors harassing you daily for debt you are unable to pay off.

Filing for bankruptcy is a necessary but unpleasant experience — the staff at DebtStoppers was very patient, understanding, and professional. Michelle Hopkins, the paralegal I dealt with, was especially helpful and responsive. I would definitely recommend DS for anyone in need of filing.
