Century Debt Relief Terms & Requirements

Qualifying for Century’s debt relief program is easy. You must have at least $10,000 worth of unsecured debt and live in one of the 44 states serviced by Century. Fees are equal to 25% of the debt settled and are not paid until after the debts are fully settled. These are very fair terms in our experience and compare favorably with the debt relief industry.

How to Apply

Applying to enroll in Century’s debt relief program is downright simple. The easiest path is to pick up the phone and give them a call, but if you’d rather go online to start the process that’s easy too.

Just navigate to their website and click one of the orange buttons that says “Start My Free Assessment.” That will take you to the initial form, which you can fill out in seconds.

Step 1: Fill in the required details

Start your free debt evaluation

Once filled out you can click the “Start My Free Assessment” button again and you’ll see that you’re done! You can go ahead and call one of their debt relief specialists immediately, or schedule a time that’s most convenient for you.

Qualification Requirements

  • Minimum unsecured debt of $10,000
  • No minimum credit score required
  • U.S. citizens and residents
  • Minimum age of 18

Required Information

Century makes it easy to get started, either by filling in an online form, or by calling one of their debt negotiation specialists directly. In either case you’ll need to provide a certain minimum amount of information to get the process started. These include:

  • Name and contact information
  • Estimated debt owed
  • If you are late on your payments
  • Social security number
  • Current income
  • Current financial obligations (mortgage/rent, car loans or leases, etc.)

Application Steps & Time Frames

After the initial consultation you’ll be able to determine if Century can save you money with its debt relief program. If you move forward, you will follow Century’s three-step program:

  1. Enroll and set up a reserve account. This can begin immediately.
  2. Once enough money is in the reserve account, negotiations with creditors begin. This is typically 2-4 months after enrolling with Century.
  3. Monthly payments continue for up to 48 months to become debt free.

We found this three-step plan to be simple and easy to understand. Debt relief and consolidation can be quite complex, but Century has made the process easy to understand and follow through with.

Customer Support

We contacted the customer support staff at Century to learn first-hand if they are as excellent as their reputation suggests. We weren’t disappointed as the representative we spoke with was experienced and professional in answering the questions we prepared.

The responsiveness was the first positive experience. Our call was answered within seconds. The representative was extremely friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions. It was great to speak with a live human who really knew what they were talking about, rather than a bot or someone in a call center who isn’t really familiar with the  product.
