Brightside recently helped these users improve their financial lives
Laura had fallen two months behind on her rent and her low credit score limited her borrowing options. With the help of her Brightside Financial Assistant, Laura connected with a local resource that gave her an $832 rental assistance grant to catch up on past-due rent. Her Financial Assistant also helped Laura understand steps she could take to boost her credit score. In about a year, she improved it by nearly 100 points!
Matthew owed more than $3,500 each month on his credit card debts and could no longer afford even the minimum payments on all of his accounts. He’d fallen behind 30-90 days on his payments and had been dodging calls from creditors.
With the help of his Brightside Financial Assistant, Matthew enrolled in a plan that provided him with an advocate to negotiate with his creditors and consolidated his debts into a single, monthly affordable payment - which saved him $100,000 in interest and monthly payments.
After suffering from medical issues, Deandra was overwhelmed by debt. She had taken out a few payday loans with the hopes of catching up, but found herself even more behind.
