This is similar to the annual Debt Review Awards process. It is a
chance for not only the entire industry to shine (and take a moment
to pat one another on the back) but also for individuals, companies
and practices to find out how they stack up against their peers. Be
sure to catch our preview article, as everyone gets ready for the
online Awards show on 10th of September.
This month we consider how the pandemic has not slowed down
unscrupulous people who are out to take advantage of others. Like
true parasites of society, these scammers continue to try leech off of
hard working people, regardless of the consequences.
We hope the articles in this issue help you become more aware of
these types of scams and more wary of other possible scams.
You may not have the muscle bound body of an Olympian in peak
physical condition, but if you are in debt review, then you too have
been working on achieving a truly amazing long-term goal - the goal
of getting out of debt.
Much like a training athlete, success in debt review comes from
staying focused, being willing to cast off distractions, learning to shop
better, to save harder, to make the budget cuts others cannot, or
simply are not prepared to make.
If you can do this, then soon you will lift aloft your gold medal in the
form of a clearance certificate, showing that you are winning at life
and have become debt free!
