Debtfree Magazine October 2017

Do you think that
consumers are
benefiting from
debt review?
On the whole, absolutely yes. You
do still find some “rogue” Debt
Counsellors (well, you find that in any
industry), but Debt Counsellors are
now mostly concentrating on getting
the best deal for the consumer.
There is a real need for debt review
and there will always continue to
be a need for it. I also believe that
stats will show that debt review does
relieve over-indebtedness and many
consumers, since the inception of
debt review in 2007, have become
debt free thanks to this process.
What kind of
assistance do
Debt Counsellors
need from
attorneys such
as yourself?
Guidance. Advice. Support. And
sometimes someone to vent to about
the NCR or their consumer who is
still complaining, even after being
offered a lifeline. Sadly, there seem
to be some Debt Counsellors who
view attorneys as the enemy, and I
am really not sure why. We are here
to cover your back and help you get
that required court order, and much
more in fact.
