Coastal is our featured first provider. Compare both firms using the dated public records, advertised services, and fee limitations below. Placement is an editorial choice, not a measured outcome comparison.
Category-by-category breakdown
| Compare | Coastal Debt Resolve | Eastern Financial Partners |
|---|---|---|
| BBB record | A+ rated, accredited (checked September 12, 2026) | Not Rated; not accredited (checked September 11, 2026) |
| Service scope | MCA settlement and payment restructuring; company-advertised attorney network | MCA restructuring; company-advertised attorney-led negotiations |
| Fees and limitations | Coastal advertises a free consultation. Its public disclaimer distinguishes savings before and after program fees, but does not provide an itemized enrollment fee schedule. Obtain program, administration, legal and cancellation charges in writing, separately from creditor payments. The September 12 BBB record noted a no-refund policy; this update did not recheck that record or inspect a signed client agreement. | Eastern says its service charges are included in a restructured payment, but its public How It Works page does not give an itemized fee schedule or a case-specific quote. Request the creditor payment, provider and legal charges, total amount paid, payment dates, and cancellation terms separately. The page's $45,000 MCA illustration is marketing material, not an independently verified typical result. |
| Eligibility | Not verified; request eligibility criteria | Varies |
Coastal: services and limitations
Coastal has an identifiable business record and offers MCA settlement and restructuring. Its public materials describe an attorney network; they do not establish that all litigation work is performed in-house for one fee. Compare the signed engagement, public complaint responses and total cost before deciding. Our older claims about verified contracts, guaranteed legal scope and standard response times were not adequately supported and have been removed.

Eastern merits comparison on its written proposal. The provider describes attorney-led MCA restructuring, but this review has not independently verified its legal staffing or case outcomes. Its BBB status is Not Rated, not the C+ previously shown here. Read the complaint chronology and business responses below before evaluating the engagement.
