Through the company’s Beyond Debt Now giveaway, clients’ lives are transformed with a huge financial leg up.

September 23, 2025 (Ocean Beach Isle, N.C.) Beyond Finance, the nation’s largest debt consolidation organization, announced Leslie Hayes as one of its recent winners of the Beyond Debt Now initiative. Launched in 2022, this monthly giveaway is one of the ways Beyond Finance goes above and beyond to support its clients. Through the initiative, the company pays off a portion — or sometimes the entirety — of a client’s debt, providing life-changing financial relief beyond its core services.

Hayes fell into debt when she took off work to care for her ailing mother, and turned to credit cards to manage everyday living expenses. Hayes began working with Beyond Finance in March 2023 and, with the company’s support, shortened her projected repayment timeline from about 13 years — based on minimum payments — to 4 years. Now, through the Beyond Debt Now program, she’ll have reached a debt-free life in just two and a half years.* 

“Beyond Finance has changed my life,” said Hayes. “The program gave me a better outlook on spending and saving. Knowing that there’s help out there means the world.”

“We’re honored to be part of Leslie’s journey to financial freedom,” said Lou Antonelli, Chief Operating Officer at Beyond Finance. “Leslie fell into debt simply for being a committed daughter and a good person. No one is more deserving of a helping hand than her. Guiding people like Leslie back to a place of financial freedom and stability is exactly why we do this work.”

Beyond Debt Now recipients are chosen based on nominations from Beyond Finance team members, allowing them to personally recognize clients and make a significant impact on their financial futures. Since Beyond Debt Now’s launch in 2022, the giveaway has helped eliminate over $700,000 of debt for over 50 clients.
