Fixed my credit in 24 hours!

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Woods on a credit issue. I had a pestering collection agency that refused to work with me and continually demanded payment without going through my health insurance. They reported to my credit and my health insurance company even reached out to try to get them to fax a bill so they could pay it and resolve the issue. They resisted my insurance company and I but were no match to Mr. Woods. Within ONE day of sending them a notice the remarks were removed from all credit bureaus and communication has stopped. Thank you so much for your hard work. I truly appreciate it.

Relieved of Debt Suit

Roderick is a God sent! I was being sued by Cavalry back at the beginning of Oct 2019 and in a little over 2 months, he managed to get my suit dismissed AND I was cleared of the credit card debt. I would highly recommend Roderick for these types of cases.
