Is This for Real?

Yes! 2020 has been a tough year. A lot of people are struggling financially, and the last thing they need right now is to be hounded by collection agencies. That’s why Ramsey Solutions bought the debt of 8,000 people from two private debt collection companies and completely forgave it. No strings attached. Seriously. That’s $10 million of debt that was in collections—gone! We did this to show people the love of Christ this Christmas season and hope it will jump-start their journey to financial peace!

If you’ve received a call from the Ramsey team that your debt has been forgiven, we’d love to hear your story. Email us at forgiven@ramseysolutions.com or spread the word on social media using the hashtag
