Elite Financial Services FAQ

What does Elite Financial Services do?

Elite Financial Services offers debt relief services for the following types of debt:

  • Unsecured debt, such as credit card debt, medical debt, and personal loans.

What does Elite Financial Services charge?

Elite Financial Services operates on a contingency fee basis. Companies operating under a contingency fee model charge fees that are based upon a percentage of the debt at the time the consumer enrolled; occasionally they are based on a percentage of the savings negotiated by the debt-settlement company. Across the industry in general, debt settlement clients typically see a 45% to 60% reduction of their enrolled debt.

Elite Financial Services charges fees that range from 15% of the enrolled debt up to 25% of the enrolled debt, depending on the amount of enrolled debt provided.

Debt relief service pricing / costs can vary greatly from one client to another so it's best to speak to Elite Financial Services directly to determine an accurate quote.

Does Elite Financial Services offer a guarantee?

No, Elite Financial Services does not have a money back guarantee. Some debt settlement companies advertise a money-back guarantee that typically states you won't be charged until your debt is settled. However, it is illegal for debt settlement companies to charge upfront fees before an account is settled. So these guarantees offer little added value to consumers.

What is the minimum debt Elite Financial Services will consider?

Elite Financial Services will only consider customers with unsecured debt of $10,000 or more. Customers with less than $10,000 of unsecured debt may benefit from a debt consolidation loan or credit counseling services.

Does Elite Financial Services perform its own servicing in-house?

Yes, Elite Financial Services employs its own in-house servicing staff who manage the process and negotiate settlements on behalf of their customers.
