Thank you DebtStoppers, Mr. Kurt Y, and team! Your service and assistance has been awesome. Taking time to explain everything throughout this process was a huge stress relief. These people know how to help people through stressful moments. So glad I found you — best of luck to each one on this team!

I contacted Debtstopper to fix my case and in just 3 days they had already filed my chapter 7. I didn't expect the process to be this fast but they did whatever was needed to make it happen moreover on a weekend, it was all hands on deck to make sure their client was taken care of. I would absolutely 💯 recommend them.

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.
