FAQs

Who is Veterans First Debt and why should I trust you?

We're connectors, not creditors. Think of us as the person who knows exactly who to call. We've helped connect thousands of people, including many veterans, with established companies like JG Wentworth and other accredited debt consolidation partners. We're not a government agency or affiliated with the VA.

What happens to my credit during this process?

There may be a temporary dip, but most people find the tradeoff worth it. Your score may decrease while in the program, but many people value the relief of having a clear path forward, and some see scores improve as balances drop.

How does debt consolidation actually work?

You make deposits into a dedicated savings account while experienced negotiators work on your behalf. Settlements are reached for less than you owe, and many programs complete in 2-4 years instead of decades of minimum payments.
