Golden Rise Capital

Unsecured debt relief & lending

There are two ways out. We'll tell you which one is yours.

Most companies in this business sell one product and steer everybody toward it. We work both sides — consolidation loans and debt relief programs — so the recommendation you get is the one that actually fits your numbers.

  • Checking your options doesn't affect your credit score
  • You get the recommendation in writing before you commit to anything
  • No cost for the assessment, and no obligation to enroll

Start with one number

Roughly how much unsecured debt are you carrying? Credit cards, medical bills, personal loans, collections.

The fork

Two different products. Two very different consequences.

These are not interchangeable, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. One replaces your debt with new debt at a better rate. The other reduces what you owe but damages your credit on the way. Which one is right depends entirely on your income, your credit, and how far behind you are.

Path one

Debt consolidation loan

A single fixed-rate loan pays off your cards. You get one payment, one due date, and a fixed payoff date instead of revolving balances that never move.

  • Your credit stays intact — improves, typically, as balances drop
  • You know the exact date you'll be debt-free
  • You need income and credit strong enough to qualify
  • You still repay the full principal

Path two

Debt relief program

Balances are negotiated down with your creditors. You make one monthly deposit into a dedicated account while settlements are reached over time.

  • You may repay meaningfully less than you owe
  • Built for people who can't qualify for a loan or are already behind
  • Your credit will be damaged, and collection activity may continue
  • Forgiven balances can be taxable income

How it works

Three steps, and you can stop at any one of them.

Step one

Tell us the numbers

What you owe, roughly what you earn, and whether you're current or behind. Two minutes online, or on the phone if you'd rather talk it through.

Step two

We put the recommendation in writing

Which path fits, what it costs, what it does to your credit, and what happens if you do nothing. You get it in writing before you decide anything.

Step three

You choose, or you don't

If you enroll or accept a loan, we handle the paperwork from there. If you walk away, nothing has happened to your credit and you owe us nothing.

Why us

We say the uncomfortable part out loud.

If a debt relief program is going to hurt your credit for years, you should hear that from us before you enroll — not from a collection notice in month four.

The complaint that follows this industry around is the switch: someone applies for a loan, doesn't qualify, and gets moved into a settlement program without fully understanding that it's a different product with different consequences. It's the single most common thing consumers report about companies in this space.

We built the process to make that impossible. Both products are on the table from the first conversation, the differences are written down, and the recommendation comes to you in writing with the tradeoffs stated plainly.

Bankruptcy is sometimes the right answer

For some situations, Chapter 7 or 13 genuinely beats anything we offer. We're not attorneys and we don't provide legal advice, but if that's what your numbers point to, we'll say so and point you toward counsel rather than sell you a program that won't fix it.

Sometimes the answer is do nothing

If you can clear your balances in under 24 months on your own, a program isn't worth the fees or the credit damage. We'll tell you that and you can close the tab.

Every number we publish has a source

Any statistic on this site — savings rates, program lengths, timelines — is footnoted with where it came from and what it represents. If we can't source it, we don't print it.

Common questions

Before you talk to anyone

Will checking my options hurt my credit?
No. The assessment uses a soft credit inquiry, which is visible only to you and has no effect on your score. A hard inquiry happens only if you decide to move forward with a specific loan offer, and we'll tell you before that happens.
What does this cost me?
The assessment is free and there's no fee to get a recommendation. If you enroll in a debt relief program, fees range from 15% to 25% of enrolled debt and are charged only after a settlement is reached and you approve it. Loan terms and any origination fee are disclosed in your loan agreement before you sign.
How much debt do I need for this to make sense?
Generally we work with households carrying at least $10,000 in unsecured debt. Below that, the fees and credit impact of a program usually outweigh the benefit, and you're better off with a payoff plan you run yourself.
Are you the lender, or are you referring me somewhere?
Both, depending on the product. Golden Rise Capital, LLC is a licensed lender (NMLS #2759539) and originates consolidation loans directly. For debt relief programs, our own team administers the program and negotiates with your creditors directly — there's no separate outside company involved. Which product you're using is stated in writing on every agreement.
Is this available in my state?
Both products are available in most states, but not all, and terms vary by state. Enter your state in the assessment and we'll tell you immediately what's available where you live.
