Why Debt Relief Companies Choose Us

Efficiency

Debt relief companies often find out about hearings on the eve of the hearing date. At CDR, we are prepared for this. We act quickly after being assigned each case and have much success covering hearings in a rush!

We take a lot of pride in our ability to productively balance the legal evaluations of legal defenses available in each case, with the client’s specific desires and the ultimate goals of their debt defense program.

Results

The clients have multiple debts in your program, and we are generally only handling one or two of those debts because a lawsuit was filed on those debts. We understand the enhanced importance of negotiating a low settlement in order to leave plenty of funds available for the remaining debts, and we have had tremendous success doing just that.

Often times, the settlement we reach is so favorable that the amount paid to the creditor combined with our fees is significantly less than some programs are paying in pre-suit settlements alone.

We can even help you identify debts that are likely to have strong legal defenses and those that likely do not. Thus, you can better strategize the manner in which you choose to settle your client’s debts.
