Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jacob is a family man through and through. Between his busy work schedule at QuikTrip Distribution, he enjoys playing golf whenever he can and spending time gaming with his son. But like many people, credit cards slowly became a burden that overshadowed his peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I searched many different companies and reached out to a few but Beyond was the most helpful and gave me the most hope. I\u2019m on a program that I can easily afford.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Debt Amount:<\/strong> $12,690
Started:<\/strong> September 2025
Savings:<\/strong> $171 a month!*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Before Beyond Finance: A Cycle of Credit and Stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What began as excitement over a new credit card turned into a cycle that became impossible to keep up with. Ten different cards, ten different due dates and a growing sense of panic every month left Jacob feeling trapped and exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get into debt? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got into a bad cycle of getting credit card offers in the mail and getting a quick thrill of new credit. It happened slowly over time and eventually I had over 10 credit cards I couldn\u2019t manage and it became too overwhelming.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It was scary looking at 10 different credit card payments and even more scary whenever I couldn\u2019t pay them. It really put a lot of stress on me and my family. I\u2019m really glad I found Beyond to make me feel there\u2019s really a light at the end of the tunnel.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing It Was Time to Face His Fears<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a year of avoiding calls and emails from creditors, Jacob realized something had to change. He didn\u2019t want to live with the constant stress any longer and more importantly, he wanted to set a positive example for his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you know it was time to get help? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a year of getting hounded by collection calls and emails I just decided it was time to face my fears and attack this debt. I want to be able to set an example for my son and try to teach him about debt and how not to make the mistakes I made. And I also want a fresh start and to build my credit so one day I can graduate this program with flying colors.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding Hope and Clarity With Beyond Finance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jacob didn\u2019t settle for the first company he found. He explored many different options until he connected with Beyond Finance where he was treated with respect and given a plan that felt achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I searched many different companies and reached out to a few but Beyond was the most helpful and gave me the most hope to get me on a program that I can easily afford. I don’t have to worry about any more scary debt collectors.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Turning Nerves Into Relief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before enrolling, Jacob felt nervous about sharing the details of his debt. He expected judgment, but instead, he found understanding and even laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did your first call with Beyond Finance make you feel?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nervous but very positive. I thought I would get really embarrassed having someone go through all my bad debt. But the person I got was incredible and even had me laughing at one point. It was the easiest thing I\u2019ve ever done that I should have done a long time ago.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools That Empower Progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once in the program, Jacob quickly found comfort in the Beyond Finance App \u2014 a resource that helped him track his progress and stay motivated through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Beyond App is so helpful. I can see every single step of all of my debts and all the upcoming payments. It\u2019s so clear and easy to understand. 10\/10 app for sure!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jacob\u2019s Advice for Others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jacob knows how hard it can be to take that first step, but he also knows how life-changing it can be once you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice would you give to other people in debt? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to get debt-free, Beyond is a no brainer. Just make a phone call and let them do all the work and just sit back as you get debt-free!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Plans For The Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that he\u2019s on the path toward financial freedom, Jacob can finally dream again \u2014 about the life he wants to create for his family and the peace that comes with a clean slate. And while he hopes this is the only time he\u2019ll ever need help with debt, Jacob is grateful for how easy and empowering the experience has been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you looking forward to most when you\u2019re debt-free?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to buy a house! Take my family on a nice vacation! Maybe just celebrate at home with no stress! I hope this is the only time I ever have to use Beyond <\/em>(laughs) but it\u2019s been really easy and convenient using this product. Thank You.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
