Debt Settlement America™ Contracts with Legal Club of America
04/07/2007
DSA™ has contracted with Legal Club of America to offer free and discounted legal service and assistance to its clients. Legal Club of America has a nationwide network of thousands of pre-qualified attorneys who will assist clients in dealing with legal issues associated with debt, creditors and other legal matters. Debt Settlement America™ General Counsel Wesley Young stated, “This is a benefit offered by few other debt settlement companies. This legal plan access reflects DSA’s™ commitment to providing excellent service to its clients."
Now clients who face collection claims will have a way to find representation and a means to ensure their legal rights are protected. While the vast majority of debtors never face legal action, one potential challenge to consumers struggling with debt payments is the use of the legal process by creditors to collect the debt. Unlike most other debt settlement companies, DSA™ offers a solution to dealing with any potential legal action.
CEO and President of Debt Settlement America™ Chris Kesterson remarked “DSA™ is committed to being among the best debt settlement companies in the nation and we believe this legal plan reflects our commitment to our clients. DSA™ pays for access to this service for the benefit of our clients and for the advantage it gives DSA™ in negotiations with creditors on behalf of our clients."
Debt settlement is the consumer equivalent of a business hiring a turn around specialist to help it settle its debt with creditors and to get the company back on its feet. Any person owing credit card debt, or any other debt, has the legal right to contact and negotiate with the creditors. However this practice takes time to master, knowledge of the credit industry and sharp negotiation skills to get the maximum benefits. DSA™ has developed a strong team of experienced individual professionals to assist you through our proven program. Our goal is to help you find a more financially secure way of life.
Debt Settlement America™ was established in 2004 and is a proven leader in the debt settlement industry. Although DSA™ headquarters in Dallas, we service clients nationwide.
