We are providing you the following disclosure statement so you
have a clear understanding of the benefits and risks of debt
relief.
Debt relief is the negotiation of settlements of unsecured
debts. Debt relief is not a loan, is not credit counseling, and
is not a credit repair program. We will not fix or address
existing errors or inaccuracies on your credit report. We
cannot guarantee that your creditors will agree to resolve your
debts, resolve your debts for a specific amount, or resolve
your debts within a certain time.
Debt relief is suitable only for persons who are in financial
distress and unable to pay or continue to pay their minimum
monthly payments without hardship. Each consumer’s
circumstances and results are unique, and not all consumers
complete their debt relief program.
Since many creditors will not consider an offer to resolve your
debt unless a debt is past due or charged off, our ability to
negotiate settlements depends on the delinquency status of your
debt. You should not charge, draw, or take advances on your
enrolled debts.
The use of a debt relief program will adversely affect your
creditworthiness, as creditors report the status of your
enrolled debts to credit bureaus.
Your creditors may subject you to collections or lawsuits,
charge you fees, assess penalties, and raise your rates for not
making payments on your enrolled debts. If you are sued by a
creditor, you should consult a lawyer.
The debt relief program requires your active engagement and
responsiveness. Your success depends on your ability to make
regular deposits into an FDIC-insured dedicated account
administered by a payment processor. If you cannot make these
deposits, you should consider alternatives to address your
financial hardship, including bankruptcy.
You own and control the dedicated account. Only you can
authorize a payment, transfer, or withdrawal from this account.
Funds in this account will not be used to make minimum,
periodic, or other payments on your debts. Funds in this
account will only be used to pay settlements to your creditors,
fees to the payment processor, and fees to us for debt relief
services provided.
We will not earn and will not be paid our fee for settling a
debt until we obtain a settlement agreement from a creditor,
you approve that agreement, and a payment is made on that
settlement.
You may withdraw from the debt relief program at any time
without penalty. If you withdraw, you are entitled to funds
remaining in the dedicated account, less any fees earned by us
or the payment processor that have not yet been paid. If you
withdraw from the program, prior installment settlement
agreements and unresolved debts may be negatively impacted, and
you may owe the full balance on any of those debts plus
accumulated interest, fees, and any deferred or unpaid earned
fees for debt relief services provided.
Your creditors may report settlement savings of $600 or more to
the IRS. We do not provide tax advice. You should consult a tax
advisor to determine whether to report these savings as taxable
income.
By signing this Disclosure Statement, you acknowledge that
you have read this Disclosure Statement and understand the
potential consequences of enrolling in a debt relief program,
including but not limited to the potential consequences of
failing to make payments on your debts and the impact to your
creditworthiness.
