I wasn’t able to afford an attorney and was overwhelmed with the state’s paperwork. Upsolve came to the rescue! I was more prepared at my hearing than the people who let their attorneys do everything.... See more

Upsolve made the entire filing process easy
Upsolve made the entire filing process easy. Before my paperwork even went through their review process, they flagged possible data entry errors on my part and directed me on how to correct them. The review process was thorough and I very much appreciated the reviewer advising of anything that could interfere with a smooth filing and process. I’ve recommended Upsolve to anyone I know who are looking into filing bankruptcy on their own.
Upsolve was great
Upsolve was great. Easy to follow instructions. If I had questions, I could ask, and find the answers right on the sidebar. I would 100% recommend Upsolve for anyone.
I would recognize UpSolve time any and…
I would recognize UpSolve time any and everyone. Just to get a clean slate has been a blessing and I’m free of Munro debt so know I can start back fresh! The process was easier than expected and the entire thing from start to finish 4months. Complete your credit counseling and save you some money by using upsolve
Upsolve is a great one to use they were amazing
Upsolve is a great one to use they were very helpful I uploaded my information and 2 days later it was ready for me to print out and file for chapter 7 thank you Upsolve I recommend them to anyone I couldn't afford an Attorney so using Upsolve saved me again thanks so much .
Inexpensive and straight forward.
I had no idea the self filing option was even a thing. Without Upsolve I wouldn't have been able to relieve my financial burdens without incurring debt to an attorney. This was actually a smooth process, even if it was "legwork" (lots of logging debts/income/etc.) intensive, and reasonably easy. Thank you Upsolve!
Super easy
Super easy, wish you could send the papers electronically instead. I didnt realize how many pages I had to print till I sent it to my printer. But so grateful for them, I was drowning. Still am alittle but with this taken care of this took so much off my plate. Wish I thought about bankruptcy long time ago.
Awesome tool for filing
Upsolve truly made filing bankruptcy a breeze.
The chat feature answered my questions very well or directed me to the exact part I needed to go. I definitely recommend.
I made a decision to file bankruptcy…
I made a decision to file bankruptcy due to obvious reasons, but I didn’t know how or where to start. The first thing I did was go to Google where I came across Upsolve. Yes. This sounds like what I need. I checked the reviews and they were awesome so I immediately started the process. Upsolve made something that could have been the hardest thing ever into a simple, less stressful process. The template to fill out was step by step and explained what documents and paperwork was needed to file with the courts. It did take some time, but it was well worth it in the end. The communication and follow up was very professional from the beginning to the end. Now, my Chapter 7 bankruptcy is closed and have been fully discharged from my debt. I want to greatly thank Upsolve for having this platform and providing this service to us. I solely recommend Upsolve to anyone that has decided to file bankruptcy and help make the process easy for you.
You truly can do it on your own with UpSolve!
I was in serious trouble with debt and did not have the $2500 an attorny was asking to file for Bankruptcy. I hid from bill collectors for almost 2 yrs after I stopped making payment due to loss of my job. I was embarrassed and stressed out big time. I happened upon Upsolve on Youtube and watched some of their videos. After almost 2 yrs of being scared to answer my door or my phone waiting on the dreaded notices and demands for payment. I thought what do I have to lose at this point, so I got on their website and started the process. I was still scared because I was like, there is NO WAY it is THIS EASY! So I kept inputting all the stuff they requested and before I knew it I was ready to walk in that courthouse and file ON MY OWN! I was beyond ecstatic and was proud of myself. They gave you reminders and instructions on what to do the WHOLE WAY THROUGH! They literally hold your hand the whole way, but you do the work! It was like having a friend sitting with me telling me what do to as I went along filing on my own. I absolutely love how they put the power in your own hands to help SOLVE your financial stress and help you turn your life around. For those in doubt, DONT! I am a high anxiety person and needing to file had me sweating bullets that I would mess it up or fail, But I DID IT!! I even pat myself on the back when the clerk at the courthouse looked through my papers with a face like "oh im sure she is missing something if she did this on her own" and she returns and says "you are good to go, here is your court date, have a good day"! I was sweatin bullets while I waited but when I got the green flag my heart smiled! I knew I was almost to the goal. Then it was a short wait of about 3 months and I got the official letter I was discharged and clear! I hadnt been that excited in a LONG TIME and the elephant was removed off my back! I cannot thank UpSolve ENOUGH! i know the Universe took me right to them because I needed them! Funny how searching one word on Youtube changed my life! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!
DISCHARGE
First, thank God; second,
THANK YOU, UPSOLVE. You restored my peace of mind and guided me step-by-step through a very uncomfortable situation. You just need to have faith and tell the truth, and UPSOLVE guides you. May God forever bless everyone at UPSOLVE, and good luck to the world with this-just have patience and faith. A million THANKS👏
I called and spoke with a lawyer
I called and spoke with a lawyer, did their free consult and then I was advised it would be $2500 retainer fee and they would process the paper work. I wouldn't be trying to file if I had $2500 in hand. My sister gave the website and I looked it up, did some checking to see if it was legit. After careful consideration, I got my paperwork together and sat down and began filling it out. I did not rush it and actually had to go back through and update it one more time before completing the process. From the time I filed on June 1, I was expecting it to be 6 months before it was all completed. It was done in just over 3 months. I would definitely recommend it. I did not have anyone else filing with me and I truly did not have any assets to worry about, except my car. Good Luck
I am an overthinker
I am an overthinker. I needed to research everything beforehand and had so much anxiety revolving around being a prose bankruptcy filer. Without Upsolve I don't think I could have done it. This software gave me the confidence, guidance and extra support I need for a journey that I have no experience nor knowledge about. I filed, attend my 341 meeting, and was discharged last month. I couldn't be happier with the resolve and peace this gave me in my life. Thank you UPSOLVE!
THANK GOD FOR UPSOLVE
I was going through a very rough time in life. Stay at home mom, Divorce and debt up to my eyeballs. I had no way to repay anything back. Thank god for upsolve, it was such a stressful process but upsolve made it easy. Step by step instructions, and very communicative through every step. And to top it all off a NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. I recommend them whole heartedly!
Simplifies everything and allows you to…
Simplifies everything and allows you to move forward with dignity. The entire community has been supportive and encouraging through a difficult decision. I had a couple questions and had them answered quickly and thouroughly. If you’re considering Chapter 7, this is the way to go.
Amazing
I’m almost mad at myself that I didn’t find this site sooner ! Thankful I did ! They help with the every step of the application process ! Started the end of May and it was discharged August ! I would recommend everyone to use Upsolve !
Definitely use Upsolve!!
Definitely use Upsolve for your bankruptcy filing! It made a complicated process so much easier. There’s a lot of paperwork & hoops to jump through but it’s totally doable because Upsolve guides you through it step by step, for free!! My bankruptcy was discharged & I already qualified for an unsecured Capital One credit card with a $5000 limit! Even though I burned them in the bankruptcy. And my credit score is already way up, to 660. Hopefully I’ll get it over 700 soon for the first time in my life. Thank you, Upsolve! If I’m ever rich enough, I’ll donate to you guys!
