Pacific Debt Inc was founded in 2002 by Kevin Landie, in San Diego to address the growing tide of consumer debt in America. It’s now one of the best debt consolidation companies with a BBB Accredited rating.
At the time Pacific Debt (PDI) was founded, consumers saddled with high levels of consumer debt were often faced with very difficult choices and a limited number of options.
Traditional options for resolving one’s debts included credit counseling services, home equity loans, and bankruptcy.
The early 2000s were a huge boon to credit card issuers and as a result, the debt settlement industry was born.
Debt settlement is an alternative to consumer credit counseling and bankruptcy and does not require collateral like most consolidation loans.
During the early 2000s, the debt settlement industry flourished due to a lack of regulation. Unfortunately for consumers, many of the companies that got involved early-on put profits before customers and did not help customers get out of debt.
The industry attracted fly-by-night operators, advance fee schemes and a barrage of consumer complaints. Kevin knew there had to be a better way.
In early 2003, Kevin teamed up with Sierra Izzard, who currently serves as the Company’s Director of Operations. Kevin and Sierra worked tirelessly to build an organization that puts customer satisfaction at the center of the Company’s culture.
During October 2021, the company rebranded it's name from Pacific Debt Inc, to Pacific Debt Relief. Being that the newer name would allow Pacific Debt to remain loyal to its roots with debt settlement.
Today, Pacific Debt Relief is a nationwide debt settlement company and located in beautiful San Diego, California.
The company settles millions of dollars in consumer debt through the debt settlement program each month while maintaining Kevin and Sierra’s vision of a consumer-friendly experience.
Pacific Debt, Inc has pursued all the accreditations necessary to providing top notch services. As an accredited debt settlement company, Pacific Debt is recognized by
The International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators provides training to our professional debt arbitrators so that every member of our certified debt specialists provides the best possible service for our clients.
During October 2021, the company rebranded from Pacific Debt Inc, to Pacific Debt Relief. The updated name allows Pacific Debt to remain loyal to its roots with debt settlement while discussing other debt relief services.
We still offer the same great free consultation so you understand your
debt relief options.

We do not handle secured debt like car loans and mortgage loans. If you have issues with secured debt, we may be able to refer you to other debt relief companies.
Above all though, the biggest difference between Pacific Debt and many of its competitors is the personal level of service the consumer receives throughout the process. Here are a few examples:
At Pacific Debt Relief you will work one-on-one with a Program Debt Adviser to determine if debt settlement is a good fit for you. This includes reviewing your accounts to determine their eligibility, completing a detailed budget to ensure the program is affordable and getting you a free estimate and plan tailored to your financial situation. If debt settlement isn’t right for you, we do our best to point you in the right direction so that you get the help you need.
Pacific Debt has a small team of caring individuals dedicated to helping you navigate the early stages of the process. This includes assisting you with managing creditor calls, helping you gather all relevant documents and making any early changes necessary to ensure your program's success.
Once it is time to begin settling your debt, you will be assigned to a Personal Account Manager. Our staff have years of experience, training and leverage with the collective experience of our many years in business.
Each time we settle an enrolled account you will need to authorize the settlement and we will get it in writing for your records.
Our Account Managers work to develop a personal professional relationship with each of our clients so that you have a high level of trust as the program proceeds.
Your Account Manager will provide you monthly updates on your progress and bring you up to speed on any ongoing negotiations. Fore more info, visit our debt relief program.
