If you\u2019re like most Beyond Finance clients, you\u2019re entering uncharted territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help you understand what to expect, we\u2019ve created an example client whose journey and savings reflects a typical Beyond Finance client\u2019s. Keep in mind that your experience and timeline will be unique to you depending on your enrolled debt amounts, deposits, creditors, total debt, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow along on the journey to learn how this client achieved <strong>$68,477 in savings and avoided 17 additional years of paying off debt<\/strong>!*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walk in Our Client\u2019s Footsteps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you were unexpectedly laid off and racked up $32,585 in credit card and loan debt before you found a new job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though you now have a steady income, you aren\u2019t able to make a dent in your debt because you can only afford the minimum payments on your accounts. Almost all of your money is going to interest \u2014 not paying off your balance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you stayed on this path, <strong>it would take you at least 21 years and $95,829 to pay off the 32.5K debt<\/strong>.*&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps you want to pay off your mortgage one day or build savings for your retirement. You realize you need to make a change for this to become a reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline_2024Update-1-1024x634.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline_2024Update-1-1024x634.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline_2024Update-1-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline_2024Update-1-768x476.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline_2024Update-1-1536x951.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline_2024Update-1.png 1552w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month 1: Setting the Stage for Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our most successful clients take a series of important steps at the very start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cancel autopay on enrolled accounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop using credit cards enrolled in the program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beyond Finance\u2019s contact information<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.beyond&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download<\/a> and log into the Client Dashboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid over-focusing on credit score<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do all of these, and you\u2019re already seeing relief. Lowering your monthly payment from $1,075 to $645 has given you room to breathe and you have started funding a savings account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month 4: Your First Offer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you see your first Resolution Offer, you unfortunately have to deal with a ramping up of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/how-to-block-creditor-calls\/\">creditor calls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/a-look-behind-the-curtain-of-creditor-intimidation\/?source=timeline\">intimidation tactics<\/a>. But you know that this is just the creditors giving their best shot to get you to go back to minimum payments first, before they agree to an offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clients typically see their first Resolution Offer within 3 to 6 months of enrollment. In your case, you finally get to see firsthand that the process works at the Month 4 point! Beyond Finance reaches out to let you know that your first creditor has made a Resolution Offer with a 41% reduction on the debt! Right away, you let our team know that you\u2019ve accepted so you don\u2019t miss the offer deadline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now some of your funds can go to gradually paying off that offer through a payment plan, while your remaining funds are kept in play to leverage more Resolution Offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month 9: Further Progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your second account is larger than the first so it took a bit longer to reach a Resolution Offer. But the savings were worth the wait. For this enrolled debt of $5,847, you get an offer of $2,748 \u2013 a 53% reduction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While our negotiations team always aims for at least a 50% debt reduction, each Resolution Offer will vary, some with less savings, some with more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month 12\u201314: Three More Resolution Offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You receive two Resolution Offers in Month 12 and one more in Month 14!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of your deposits are now going towards your active offers, so you know you might have to wait a bit to see the next one, but you\u2019re now confident you\u2019re nearing the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month 21: Your Largest Account Resolved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While some clients will have their largest account resolved earlier in their program, some will see it happen later down the line. Each person\u2019s accounts will be addressed in a strategic order based on a number of different factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Occasionally, clients will experience a longer wait, or \u201cquiet period,\u201d between offers. Usually this happens when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multiple Resolution Offers are being paid off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More funds need to be built up in your Dedicated Account to negotiate a larger account<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you\u2019ve had to practice some patience, at Month 21, your largest debt of $16,301 is resolved for $10,596!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month 26: Final Resolution Offer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You didn\u2019t have to wait too much longer for your last Resolution Offer to come through. You receive a 52% reduction on a $4,830 credit card debt, and now only owe your creditor $2,318.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, you\u2019re in a \u201cset it and forget it\u201d mode. Your deposits are doing the work for you and you continue to turn your focus towards enjoying life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline-chart_Resolution.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4505\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3445378151260505;width:777px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline-chart_Resolution.png 800w, https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline-chart_Resolution-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/timeline-chart_Resolution-768x571.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month 48: Graduation, Savings, and a Recovered Credit Score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Month 48, you graduate and you\u2019re 100% debt-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Life-Changing Savings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By completing your Beyond Finance program, <strong>you\u2019ve avoided the cycle of compounding interest that would have kept you in debt for over two decades and cost you at least $95,829<\/strong>.* This is a conservative estimate and assumes you never put any more charges on your credit cards after the initial ~$32.5K debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You saved $5,233 through debt reductions (including Beyond Finance\u2019s fees) and another $63,244 by avoiding future compounding interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In<\/strong> <strong>total, you saved at least $68,477 and avoided 17 additional years of paying off debt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/debt-resolution-timeline-chart.png\" alt=\"Debt resolution savings chart\" class=\"wp-image-4258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/debt-resolution-timeline-chart.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/debt-resolution-timeline-chart-300x114.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit Score Recovery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most clients will begin to see their credit score begin to recover 4 months into their program.

You may hit program milestones sooner or later than this example client, but the destination is the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re on a real path to a debt-free life with significant savings from reductions and saying \u201cno\u201d to that never-ending cycle of compounding interest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little advice from our team as you move forward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stick to your deposit schedule as much as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to speed up your graduation, deposit extra funds if and when you can.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send any creditor communications you receive to us through the &#8220;Upload Documents&#8221; feature  in your app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be patient between offers \u2014 there may be quiet periods, but they\u2019re on their way!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reach out to our Client Success team whenever you have concerns, questions, or just need support.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t beat yourself up about needing help.
