Freedom Financial Network Negotiates Resolutions on $102.6 Million in Debt

Credit advocate settles nearly $47,000 in debt every hour

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2012

Freedom Financial Network (FFN) has announced results for the first quarter of the year, including resolutions on $102.6 million of debt for clients.

The largest negotiator of consumer debt in the nation achieved settlements on 17,696 individual creditor accounts for nearly 14,000 clients, said Andrew Housser, co-founder and co-CEO of FDR. “That equates to settling more than a million dollars of debt each day, or nearly $47,000 every hour,” he added. First-quarter results also are up 4 percent from the previous quarter in terms of creditor accounts resolved.

“These figures speak to the fact that FFN is obtaining real, needed help for people in serious debt – and maintaining its position as the industry leader,” said Housser. “The results we obtain for our clients, as they work their way out of debt, provide clear indication of FFN's abilities, skill and commitment.”

FFN's Freedom Debt Relief program ensures that consumers pay no up-front fees, and that FFN collects only the fees associated with an individual debt when it has resolved that debt. The program fully complies with both the spirit and the letter of the Federal Trade Commission regulations on the debt relief industry, explained Housser. “Many companies claiming to comply with the letter of FTC rules continue to seek loopholes that might allow them to charge fees before consumer debts are settled,” he said. “FFN clients will find no up-front fees charged under any loopholes in the regulations.”

FFN is a consumer credit advocate that negotiates directly with creditors on consumers' behalf to resolve debt balances. Offering an alternative to credit counseling, debt consolidation and bankruptcy, the company's debt relief program helps clients who qualify for, and commit to, the program resolve their unsecured debt, often in 24 to 48 months. According to Housser, debt resolution is best suited for individuals who are carrying serious debt, who are struggling to make required minimum payments, and who would otherwise often be considering bankruptcy or credit counseling.
