Debt Settlement Attorney Program For Green States and Red States
[Finance:Debt-Management] However, now there is pending legislation that
appears to show a strong preference for the attorney-based debt resolution
model as opposed to the non-attorney debt settlement model. Obviously, an

lacking social grace, sensitivity and tact), and it can really make you look
like you steal money for a living from people who are already down on their
luck.

people close at least a deal a day each, and close 200 plus debt settlement

By Rich Preisig
It's
the same old song and dance; the guy that was selling insurance last week is
offering debt settlement this week and the woman who was selling real estate is
now offering loan modification. Those on the front lines of being a mortgage
owner or branch manager, now loan modification agent, can find it quite
incestuous, as new industries rise and fall. Rising; yes, and the Debt
Settlement Industry is apparently the New Black!
Recently
and most noticeably has been the explosive growth and opening of debt settlement net branch affiliate offices. And interestingly, these same
salespeople are filling these debt settlement branch offices, and they're
making $75,000 - $200,000 in commission income, as they bailout the people with
overextended credit card debt and other unsecured debt. There is so much money
in the debt settlement industry and a lot of people are going to get a Fresh
Start!
If you
too, are looking to Offer Debt Settlement to Your Clients, and you should, as
there is real money in it, it makes sense to have several back end
relationships going at once, as you never know when one is going to let you
down or be shut down - see below. See what's out there and what works for you.
See which company is consistent and thorough, easy to communicate with and is
truly interested in your offices' growth.
For
many of you who have come into the Debt Settlement Industry from the Mortgage
Industry or Loan Modification Industry, it's the same as having multiple
Lenders to source your loans to. Don't be naive and fall in love with only one
Debt Settlement Company, as you'll unknowingly find that you're missing a lot
that's going on around you in the Industry as a whole, never mind a better
payout or better track record of Client retention. This is a warning for all of
the debt settlement offices out there who are currently being paid 60% or
higher which is 9%+ of the 15% in collected fees. It feels good as the money is
coming in, but apparently, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo isn't going to let it
last.
There's
good money in being a Debt Settlement Agent. In fact, there's more money right
now in Becoming a Debt Settlement Affiliate Net Branch Office than any other
similar industry and the run looks to last for many years to come, as more
American's live off of their credit cards, only paying their minimums.
And
with State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo recently stating that "Companies
in the debt settlement industry often prey upon consumers who find themselves
unable to keep up with credit card payments during these difficult economic
times," it's important to understand what these debt settlement companies
are doing wrong and what Debt Settlement Companies are doing it properly.
Exclusive LIVE
Debt Settlement Transfers
First
and foremost, any debt settlement company that is willing to offer your debt
settlement office aggressive upfront commissions is likely to be out of
business or put out of business shortly.
The
reason for this is twofold; 1), if you were a customer and agreed to pay back
$500 per month for the next 36 months, but noticed that your first 3 months
payments of $1,500 were disbursed as follows - $1,250 went to the debt
settlement office as fees and only $250 went to settling your debt. This is the
reason that the client retention rate for such debt settlement companies can be
low and overall, it brings the Industry average for customers completing the
debt settlement program through its term down significantly.
Secondly,
this unexpected nationwide probe into the debt settlement Industry, just as
more and more Debt Settlement Sales Offices are sprouting open, it looks like
just as many will be shut down. So, be sure you know that the debt settlement
companies you're signed up with, are first looking out for the customer. Just
like in Life, the litmus test is generally pretty easy. It's either right or
wrong to take all of the customer's fees upfront.
Attorney
General Andrew Cuomo clearly feels that some debt settlement companies are
bastardizing the Industry. The subpoenas were issued to American Debt Foundation
Inc, American Financial Service, Consumer Debt Solutions, Credit Answers LLC,
Debt Remedy Solutions LLC, Debt Settlement America, Debt Settlement USA,
Debtmerica Relief, DMB Financial LLC, Freedom Debt Relief, New Era Debt
Solutions, New Horizons Debt Relief Inc, Preferred Financial Services Inc, U.S.
Financial Management Inc and the Allegro Law Firm.
For
the rest of the scrupulous offices out there willing to play the game fairly,
so we can all play it again tomorrow, cheers to you, as the debt settlement
Industry isn't the easiest Industry, but it can give many deserved people in
this Country a "Fresh Start" says Richard Preisig, a Debt Settlement
Industry Insider.

ongoing and easy to duplicate. There should always be room for growth and
expansion, but the message should be clear and consistent.
