Consumer Compliments

I recently had a student loan placed into collections for a lack of payment. I was originally contacted by Amanda in 2014 to begin payment on my loan. Amanda was amazing in working with me on my funds. Not only did she treat me with great customer service but she advocated for me when my university was against me. Amanda is one of the main reasons i was able to get financially caught up and back to where i need to be. If i ever get placed in collections again (which i hope i don’t) I would hope to work with Amanda or someone just like her in the future. It has been a pleasure to work with this agency. Thank you.

This company is a debt collector. Typically not a good experience. However, I worked with and was helped by an agent who actually listened. I felt like she was understanding and didn’t judge me and genuinely wanted to help me. She did. She was able to negotiate on my behalf and decrease the amount owing. Thus enable me to pay off my balance much sooner. This was such a relief of burden. Her professionalism and kindness is an otherwise stressful position actually made me cry in happiness and relief. Thank You Lynn Farrell for acting on my behalf and being awesome at what you do!!!!

Once again, I appreciate your expeditiousness in responding. I appreciate our professionalism as well. If I had to be in collections, I’d prefer it be with you, since you do know how to treat your clients with respect and dignity. Please ensure your supervisor/management receive a copy of this accolade as you need to have this documented.

I received excellent customer service by Whitney. She was great, listened to my problem and got me to the person I needed to resolve my issues. I appreciate her for going the extra mile.

This is to thank for very efficient, courteous and caring service I received from your company’s employee, Karen concerning the debt my son had with the university.

Even the first person I spoke with, Aaron, gave me information with courtesy and concern. You must have all great employees in the company.

I thank you very much indeed and Aaron was certainly amazing.

I am the parent of a former college student, although having an outstanding amount on her account was disturbing, I wanted to compliment your representative, April, who helped me to resolve the situation in a week. She was courteous, sympathetic, and extremely responsive, and made sure that my child was available to complete our transaction when they had to travel to her niece’s high school graduation. I’m an attorney in San Francisco, and have represented debt collection agencies before. It’s a difficult business. I wish my clients’ personnel were as decent and thoughtful as April.

Had a pleasant experience with W&F. Mark was extremely helpful and cared about my situation. They are a collection agency but it didn’t feel like it from my experience.

I had a different experience with them! 🙂 a good one! I am trying to do everything I can to help raise my credit score and pay things off and they have been most helpful! They took the time to answer questions and pointed me in the right direction. Once I faced the fear of “collections” they were there to work with me and help me along me journey to strong credit!

I recently received a notice in the mail that I had an unfulfilled debt that had been turned into your collection agency. I was completely unaware of this debt and was absolutely beside myself when I read the letter. I have spent my entire adult life building up my credit score, so to see such a notice sent me into a stake of absolute panic.

Luckily, it was your employee Jennifer that picked up the phone when I called. I have worked in retail at the same company for 10 years and am intimately aware how incredibly difficult dealing with people can be. Jennifer handled my call with the utmost grace and professionalism. She was able to recognize that I was emotional and upset and helped to alleviate my frustration and quickly de-escalate the situation. I hope this does not go unnoticed, as her work was exemplary.

I called to pay my debt that is due. And Jonathan was so very helpful. He was very patient with me having to call back and he was very helpful in finding different ways to have y’all collect my payment. He is such a great guy. And I feel like he needs to be recognized for that. He was the greatest person I’ve talked to from a call center. He was great!

I want to send a BIG special thank you to Matt , he’s helped me with staying consistent with my payments & also figuring out the best payments for me so I can get back in college the time I wanted too , bc of him I am debt free with my college and i appreciate him soooooo much .

THANK YOU MATT !!!

I have just closed an account with WF and Mitch and Ms Trudy displayed a high quality of customer service in assisting me. Thank you and keep up the GREAT work. It means a lot when a debt is being paid by way of arrangements and accommodations are made.

Even though we have finalized our last payment and the relationship has ended; I just want to say thanks for being so professional, kind and understanding in all of our conversations. Our family has dealt with some very difficult times and felt bad about not being able to pay our creditor sooner and your tone with me was always so respectful and considerate and that has meant a lot. This helped to energize and encourage me along the way. I just want the company to know how professionally you handled yourself. I really want your manager to know the level of integrity that you operate with. Thank you so much, my family and I really appreciate it.

I have been working with Danielle to consolidate my defaulted student loans. I have never been so impressed with a debt collector. She made the process of student loan consolidation very enlightening. She is always pleasant, professional and I do not know what I would have done without her help, I had notices of garnishment and she helped contact the appropriate people to make sure they were informed of the process of consolidation and there was a hold placed on those issues. I wanted to let you know what a valuable employee you have. Thank you, have a Blessed week.

I’d like to personally thank James for assisting me with my outstanding debt. He was awesome, he was kind and very helpful in resolving a challenging matter. I’m highly appreciative for all the hard work and help in resolving this business matter. Great Job!

Earlier today I tried to register for my new college classes. I had a hold on my account from an unpaid bill for a class. I had already paid the bill directly to the school, so I was unsure of why I was still showing a financial blemish on my college account. The college instructed me to call your company, Williams & Fudge, which I was honestly dreading. It is not often that calls to a collection agency are pleasant. HOWEVER, I had a very, very friendly interaction with a representative named, Shaun. She was very kind as we spoke and seemed genuinely concerned as to be being able to register for my classes.

Although I hope I do not have another late payment, if I do, I hope that it will be sent to your company and I will be lucky enough to have another experience as I did today.

Thank you for your time and thank you for your help!

I just want to say how impressed I am with your services. I was recently contacted by Boyd, and he was by far the most helpful debt collector I’ve ever worked with. He gave me a lot of information on federal student loan debt consolidation; even though it didn’t even apply to the debt he was contacting me about! He also worked with me on an amount I could pay monthly, even with my other bills. You guys are what a debt collection agency should be, and I thank you.

The entire process was, dare I say pleasant. Mike made dealing with what can be a difficult situation, painless and easy. Wish all my creditors were so nice and helpful.

Worked with Mrs. Sarah and she was extremely nice and very professional. I had a great experience today.

I wanted to say a big thank you to Martha for always working well with me and for her wonderful personality.
