GBFinancial Institute of this nature are a scam and should be illegal. We entered into a contract with Timberline Financial to avoid Bank Ruptcy. We agreed on the amount of money we were to pay each month to payoff 5 accounts. They said that they needed more money to payoff the accounts, so we increased the amount. I am within 6 months of completing the 4 year contract and only 3 of the 5 accounts have been cleared. This company is nothing but a scam. They associate with a Financial Institute that charges me every time they hear my name. This whole idea of helping someone get out of debt is no debt management involved. They are strictly interested in getting money at others misfortune.

GBDo NOT work with this company! Do NOT work with this company. They do not work proactively for you and charge outrageous fees! The amount they so call negotiate for you is only doubled because of the fees they charge. They do not explain things, you constantly have to hound them to do what they promised. Once you sign the contract, you won't hear from them again. You are better off negotiating with the credit card companies directly or find another agency.

GBWORST COMPANY EVER We started working with this company in 2018. We were told the same information as many of the other customers. We had good credit, we were just looking to consolidate instead of paying multiple payments to different entities each month. We then spent 2 years fighting for information, waiting as our credit tanked and hearing nothing. In 2020 we stopped hearing from Timberline, despite reaching out. As of this morning we were contacted by a different company who stated that our account was sold to them and we could settle our account for $20,000.00. Original debt was $15,000 with payments of $750 per month for two years. This is insane. How can you so terribly misrepresent yourselves, DESTROY peoples credit scores, refuse to communicate and then SELL CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS TO A CREDITOR? I have reported this company to the BBB and am seeking legal counsel. Do NOT work with this business, they may not be committing fraud or be illegal, but they are definitely not ethical.

GBThis has been the worst experience I've… This has been the worst experience I've ever had with a company they lie and act all nice when you enroll. Then never return calls or emails charge you wrong amounts and now after my acct was complete 4 months later they drafted a payment from my account again. DO NOT TRUST THEM!

GBTimberline has been amazing except for… Timberline has been amazing except for our last request to skip our monthly payment this November. It was taken out of our account despite the request to skip the payment. We then called to get that money refunded, but the representative marked our account to skip our December payment. We just wanted the November payment refunded. Which was discussed on the phone. This situation was brought to the customer service managers.
