SMALL BUSINESS
Couple Celebrates Becoming Debt Free, Thanks Debt Settlement Leader Credit Solutions
Business Wire
Johna and Billie of San Antonio, TX began accumulating what they
described as “a snowball of debt” in 1998, when Billie retired from the
U.S. Air Force. They decided to share their story of becoming debt free,
with the help of debt settlement market leader Credit Solutions, via
video testimonial
online
on
www.creditsolutions.com.
They moved back to Texas to be near family but spent the next few years
either unemployed or under-employed, getting deeper and deeper into
debt, resorting to credit cards to buy groceries and gasoline.
“Credit Solutions helped us through one of the most difficult times in
our lives,” Johna said. “We came out on the other end feeling much
better about ourselves financially…because we did it. Yes, we had help,
but we did it!”
The U.S. debt settlement industry leader, Credit Solutions uses its
market leverage on behalf of consumers, negotiating directly with
creditors to facilitate repayment of consumer debts at a reduced
percentage of the total amount owed.
Upon completing the 12- to 36-month settlement program, all of the
consumer client’s debts included in the program are “
settled,”
or resolved with zero balances.
“Any question I had, it was very, very easy to contact a real, live
person…ask the questions I needed to ask and get them answered,” Johna
said.
“We now have some breathing room,” Billie said. Our debt “has gone from
$14,000…all the way down to $5,000. This we can deal with, and it won’t
take us the next 20 years to do it.”
Since its 2003 founding, Credit Solutions has settled more than $1
billion in unsecured consumer debt and currently manages over $2.25
billion of debt for nearly 100,000 U.S. clients.
Since completing the program in 2.5 years, Johna and Billie took a
vacation they paid for in cash.
“We haven’t used a credit card in five years,” Johna said. “We tore them
up and threw them away. It’s such an awesome feeling…to know that we’re
on vacation, and we can do what we want to do, and we’re not going into
debt to do it!
“That has to be the fish dangling at the end of the line to keep you
going on, to keep you reaching forward for that goal,” she added. “Keep
reaching one step at a time, and you’ll get there.”
