This is not a regular "debt collector" company, especially with Lauren! Had an old past due balance from a business I owned, thought i closed out but it popped up on my credit score 3 years later. I called to find out what to do and it was such a pleasant experience with her and this company getting it taken care of. They really care about helping resolve by working with you, unlike other companies that use harassing, spam, or fear tactics to collect. Cedars is doing it right. Thanks for your help, Lauren!
I want to thank Sylverster for the outstanding support in helping me close my debt account. He was incredibly professional, patient, and clear in his explanations, making sure I fully understood every step of the process. He took the time to answer all my questions and made what could have been a stressful situation feel smooth and manageable. I truly appreciate his help and excellent customer service. Thank you, Silverster!

Helping businesses recover while delivering empathetic consumer experiences.
We’ve been working with Cedar Financial for a couple of years now, and we’re very satisfied with the quality of service they’ve consistently provided. Recently, after several months of back-and-forth with one of our former customers, we were finally able to reach a settlement agreement – thanks to Cedar’s support and persistence. Special thanks to Michael Waheed and his team for their professionalism, thorough guidance, and timely updates throughout the process. We’ve since endorsed a few more accounts to Cedar, and we highly recommend their team to any business seeking reliable assistance in recovering receivables from non- paying customers.
