Experience is the Key

by cmparra at Citysearch

Family Financial Planners will get you out of debt, this is true. But they also teach you how to manage your credit, learn to live on a budget and give you peace of mind to sleep at night.

Their trademarked ABC sheet shows exactly how and where each penny goes. It allows you to really understand where the money goes and allows you to live, really live on the money you have. Bills are paid, food is in the fridge, gas is in the car and they insist on a little something for entertainment. As Mr. Finley says "what’s it all for if we cant have a little fun."

Family Financial Planners will stop the phone calls from creditors. They work out a payment plan that makes everyone happy. No more stress!

And, the most important part, they really treat you like family. Family Financial Planners is about you, not the creditors. Most other “debt management services” are set up by the creditor. They have the creditors interest in mind not your best interest! Family Financial Planners works for you and only you. They have your best interests in mind.

Having successfully worked with thousands of families and individuals to get out of debt Family Financial Planners has the experience and knowledge to get you out of debt and keep you out of debt for a lifetime!

My daughter and I thank you Mr. & Mrs. Finley.

• Pros: Experience/Knowledge/Compassion/Honesty

THIS BUSINESS IS OUTSTANDING!

by Mike Jochumson at Citysearch

We came to Family Financial Planning about a year and a half ago deep in dept and behind on all of our bills. Mr. and Mrs. Finley have shown my wife and I a way of budgeting our expenses with a workable budget and paying off the bills that we were behind in. They showed us a way to get caught up on the past due bills but still have expenses to live week by week. It took a while to get ourselves in this situation and they understand this and have worked with us paying these past due accounts off. I am pleased to say that at this point the Finley`s will have our credit straightened out so we will be able to purchase our first home in about a year and in this economy! These people are amazing! Mike and Debbie

• Pros: Mr and Mrs Finley Help you step by step to get out of Dept!
• Cons: Budgeting your way OUT of DEPT!

GET OUT OF DEBT----GUARENTEED!!

by SusanCT at Citysearch

If you are willing to do the work of budgeting and sticking with it, then Family Financial Planners is a godsend. These people know their stuff and they are in your corner all the way. I would encourage anyone experiencing money problems to give them a call and pay them a visit. You will not regret it. You'll wonder what took you so long. Forget the national chains. Go local. These are great people! Don't delay a day longer. There is no better feeling than to be debt-free. This business can and will make it happen for you.

Whether or not you like Dave Ramsey, you'll like these guys

My husband and I have been free of credit care debt for over 10 years and are still using the advice we learned from Family Financial Planners. If you are looking for honesty and integrity, you'll find them here.

My friend went to Consumer Credit Counseling and they did not develop a budget she could live within. Everyone I have sent to Financial Planners has had a good experience.

I highly recommend them.

• Pros: Honesty, Integrity
• Cons: You must commit yourself to the process

Awesome people to work with.

The Finleys helped my wife and I turn around a serious debt problem. We were at a point that our cars were going to be repossessed. We were behind on our house payment, plus the credit cards. We just had reached a point that we were feeling we had to go bankrupt, which is what another national credit counseling company told us we needed to do.

Our first meeting was a little rocky, Mr Finley told me the obvious. Which I did not want to hear. I figured this would be a majic wand that would make everything better. It was even better. After getting the credit companies off our back, he taught us how to manage our money and set priorities. I'm very happy with the results. We are now nearly debt free other than our house and cars, have a stop gap savings and a small nest egg, which with the current economy is comforting. Thank you so very much MR. and Mrs Finley.

IF YOU WANT SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR YOU AND NOT THE CREDITOR - CALL MR. FINLEY

by Hutchisons at Citysearch

My parents went to Family Financial Planners over 40 years ago and I went to see them as a single adult who had made some very unwise decisions and got into too much debt. Then ,we as a couple have twice in 34 years had to seek their assistance with our financial debt and counseling. The last time we went to get assistance it was because of family illnesses and such that got us indebted to those PAYDAY LOAN sharks. I had called around some other debt counselors and no one else would assist someone with payday loans. Family Financial Planners helped us stop the insanity of 9 payday loans and helped us clear up our other debt besides.

Now when we start having difficulty with finances the skills we learned from Mr. Finley kick in and we can make a plan of action, deal with nasty bill collectors and such.

We have recommended Family Financial Planners to numerous people through the years and would do so in the future without hesitation. They have always been honest enough to help those who they could and to recommend options to those who were so far down they couldn't help.

I know there are few if any actual companies who work for the client out there like the Finleys do and we are so very thankful for everything they have done for us.

• Pros: They work for their client and ease the stress & tension of creditors.
• Cons: Really don't have any

Stellar Financial Planner

by DonaldPolevacik at Citysearch

Lewis & Virginia Finley are the best thing that has happened to me since moving to Portland. Through his simple, straightforward and pragmatic approach to managing finances, I was able to purchase my own home. I am close to being out of debt and most importantly have peace of mind. I trust Lewis unequivocally and would not make a financial decision--at any level--without first consulting him. I would STRONGLY recommend him to anyone wishing to obtain control of their finances and lives.

p.s. Credit Cards are Debt Cards!!!!

• Pros: Approachable and easy-to-schedule appointments
• Cons: None

Best Financial Advise ever!!

by esther1986 at Citysearch

My hubby and I went to get help with out debt and the calls we were getting. We were able to get the debt paid off and we now own a beautiful home ~ with one loan and we continue to get help staying out of debt.

We can not say how thankful we are and how much we love our house!! We did try Consumer Credit and they made things worse..they were not on our side but on the credit card side. We found out that FFP Inc. is for us and not for the credit card people. Thanks for all your help

• Pros: Never have to wait ~ fit me in when they can
• Cons: It is a drive from the suburbs....but worth it

Best help, best advice, Friendly

by happy808 at Citysearch

When I first called Family Financial Planners Inc., I was skeptical if they could help me. When I walked in for my first appointment I met the most friendliest people ever. Virginia greeted me at the door and Lewis sat me down and started my road to financial debt recovery. Leaving there, I knew I was gonna be in good hands. Not only did I pay off all my debts through Family Financial Planners Inc., I also bought a house through the help of Lewis and Virginia Finley (Family Financial Planners Inc.) I'm enjoying my life in a home and worry free about any finacial problems I ever had. My credit score is now up and through the help that I received I can manage my money alot better. I now have money to put away for my family. Thank you Family Financial Planners Inc. Thank you Lewis and Virginia Finley, for without you two I would have never thought living debt free would be possible. ~Randy
