The two paths
Same destination. Different consequences.
One replaces your debt with new debt at a better rate. The other negotiates what you owe—but damages your credit on the way.
One table.Two paths.Your call.
01
Best when your income and credit are strong enough
Consolidation loan
One fixed-rate loan pays off your cards, leaving one payment and a clear finish line.
What you owe, roughly what you earn, and whether you're current or behind. Two minutes online, or by phone.
02
Get it in writing
The best-fitting path, its costs, credit impact, and what happens if you do nothing—plainly explained.
03
You choose. Or don't.
Move forward and we handle the paperwork. Walk away and nothing has happened to your credit.
Why Golden Rise
We say the uncomfortable part out loud.
Debt relief can hurt your credit for years. A consolidation loan can cost more over time. Bankruptcy can sometimes be the better answer. You deserve to hear all of that before anyone asks you to sign.
"The recommendation should fit your numbers—not the product someone needs to sell."
01
Bankruptcy is sometimes right
We're not attorneys, but if your numbers point there, we'll tell you to speak with counsel instead of forcing a program.
02
Sometimes, do nothing
If you can clear balances yourself within 24 months, a program may not be worth its fees or credit impact.
03
Every number has a source
Savings rates, timelines, and program outcomes are sourced and explained. If we can't substantiate it, we don't publish it.
Common questions
Before you talk to anyone.
Will checking my options hurt my credit?+
No. The initial assessment does not require a hard credit inquiry. If a lending option later requires one, we will tell you before it happens.
What does this cost me?+
The assessment is free. Loan costs depend on the approved rate and term. Debt relief fees range from 15% to 25% of enrolled debt and are explained before enrollment.
How much debt do I need for this to make sense?+
We generally work with $10,000–$100,000 in unsecured debt, including credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, and collections.
Are you the lender, or are you referring me somewhere?+
Golden Rise Capital, LLC is a licensed lender and also administers debt relief programs directly. We show both paths so you can compare the consequences.
Is this available in my state?+
Products and terms are not available in every state. Availability is confirmed during the assessment before you make a decision.
