LOS ANGELES/August 27/PRNewswire/ Debtmerica, LLC, a negotiated debt settlement company offering debt relief to consumers nationwide has ranked #34 in the Inc. 500|5000 top 100 fastest growing companies within the Financial Services Industry. Inc. Magazine launched its 3rd annual Inc. 5000 list which includes rankings of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The various firms are ranked based on their percentage of revenue growth from 2005 through 2008.
The exclusive Inc. 5000 list serves as an extended look at America’s private entrepreneurs. The median growth rate of Inc 5000 companies is 126% – Debtmerica more than tripled this median, showing 386.6% growth rate. This places the Company at an overall ranking of 784 and at the top 20% of the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies in America.

PLEASE PRINT AND RETAIN A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS
Below are summaries of the various alternatives available to you so that you can make an informed and well-educated decision based on your own individual situation.
Assuming you are able to make all the monthly program payments, Debtmerica can offer Debt Resolution Programs that may help you resolve your debt in as little as 24-48 months without paying any fees until a successful resolution of a debt occurs. If you are experiencing a financial or personal hardship that is preventing you from paying your bills, the five most generally accepted debt relief options you have are:
While bankruptcy is a legitimate route to get out of debt, it can negatively affect your credit for as long as 10 years and can be a very unpleasant experience emotionally. You shouldn’t consider bankruptcy as a simple “quick fix” to all of your financial problems, but rather as one of the many available solutions you may have given your individual situation. As of October 2005, congressional legislation made filing for bankruptcy more difficult and burdensome. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy could result in higher monthly payments and may last longer than an alternative debt resolution program. If you have questions about bankruptcy or are considering it as an option, we advise you to speak directly to an experienced bankruptcy attorney licensed in your state.
A Consumer credit counseling program is a method of debt relief for those who are unable to make minimum payments and undergoing financial difficulties. However, CCC programs could take up to 6 years or longer to complete and your debt is not reduced when compared to a debt resolution program. You may still have to pay back 100% of the debt you owe plus interest. In addition, if you miss just one monthly payment, you could be dropped from the program altogether. Consumer Credit Counseling Services, on average, have very high rates of client cancellation, which does not bode well for their delivery of a successful debt management program. (see below for more information on CCCs). With that being said, a CCC program may be a viable option for those with under $10,000 in unsecured debt, are able to afford higher monthly payment obligations, and are well disciplined to remain in the program.
This option may work financially if you have at least an above average or good credit rating and considerable equity in your home. If you have a very large debt balance and have been late on just one monthly payment, it is likely that your credit may be impaired. Also, with this option, you do not reduce or settle your debt to a lower amount than the original balance; you are only transforming it from unsecured debt to secured debt. While a debt consolidation loan coupled with a debt resolution program provides a very powerful solution, remember that debt consolidation alone does not reduce or settle your debt; it only shifts your debt from one place to another.
Many people struggle to make their minimum monthly payments and this option could take over 30 years to pay back the debt you owe, costs thousands of dollars in interest alone, and could require you to potentially pay back over three-times what you now owe on these balances. This may be the least timely, most costly, and most economically disadvantageous way to get out of your unsecured debt (see below for more information). Keeping high balances on your credit cards may affect your credit in a negative way and could make it more difficult to obtain any other type of loan.
Debt resolution is an aggressive method that allows the clients who make all their monthly program payments to settle their debt for less than the original balances owed in as little as 24-48 months. Debt resolution programs are custom-tailored to provide you with just one low monthly program payment. We feel this option could be one of the fastest ways for you to resolve your unsecured debt while we work hard to minimize your stress burden.
Programs offered by Debtmerica are performance based, which means we do not receive any fees until a settlement has been reached. Debtmerica offers programs that either charge fees as a percentage of savings or as a total percentage of enrolled debt balances. Regardless of which program you enter, you can expect the total fees of the program to range from 20% to 24% of the enrolled debt amount by the time you complete the program.
If you are considering all of your debt relief options, and want to get out of debt, complete our easy and hassle-free 30 Second Savings Quote to see if a debt settlement program is the best option for you.
The projection assumes the following:
For example, if you owe $30,000 in credit card debt it may take you the following amount of time to resolve your debt
Your actual results will vary depending on a variety of factors, including your current balances, how much you can afford to save per month, and the amount that your creditors are willing to settle for. We make no guarantee that your debts will be lowered by a specific amount of percentage or that you will be resolve debt within a specified time period.
Debt Consolidation Loan
To be approved, you must have the ability to repay a larger home loan and also have an acceptable credit rating. Even if you do qualify, without debt settlement combined, your situation could likely get worse. Rather than helping you to reduce your debt through debt settlement, a consolidation loan may increase your debt burden. Here are some more facts that you may want to know about debt consolidation loans:
Continue to Make the Minimum Payments or Don’t Pay Anything at All
If you have already stopped making payments to your credit cards or other creditors, you are negatively affecting your credit rating without reducing, settling or managing your debt successfully.

LOS ANGELES, July 1/PRNewswire/– On Thursday, June 11th, Debtmerica, LLC sponsored and volunteered at the graduation event for the Orangewood Children’s Foundation. The graduation party commemorated the accomplishments of all their foster youth that were graduating from high school. Over 45 Debtmerica employees volunteered at the event that was held at the First Presbyterian Church of Orange. Debtmerica sponsored the evening with a significant financial donation and volunteers took part in every detail of the event.
Debtmerica employees were assigned to a range of activity stations which included arts and crafts, food and beverage, a photo booth, raffles, and games. The graduates were given an opportunity to create face masks and frames to celebrate the Mardi Gras theme. Pictures were taken to remember the important night and volunteers were able to interact with the graduates before the ceremony. After a few hours at the activity stations, the graduation ceremony followed.
Debtmerica volunteers watched as the graduates were handed a Certificate of Completion from Orangewood, which marks an important and vital step in their lives. Not only do the certificates recognize the youth for graduating high school but they also mark the stage in their lives where they will move on from foster care to become self-sufficient adults. The graduation ceremony was followed by a celebration with music, a DJ, dancing and food. Big smiles were present on the graduates, and volunteers had proud faces as they witnessed the impact of their contributions.
Kristi Piatkowski, the Volunteer Services Program Manager at Orangewood, expressed the Foundation’s deep appreciation, saying, “Debtmerica and its staff are remarkable and truly made this event special for our kids.

LOS ANGELES/April 28/PRNewswire/ Debtmerica, LLC, a nationwide debt settlement firm, received the “TASC Best Practice Standards” award from The Association of Settlement Companies (TASC). The award was presented to Debtmerica at the annual TASC conference which was held the first weekend of April in Las Vegas, NV.
To be recognized by TASC as Accredited in accordance to the TASC Best Practice Standards, the company is measured against nationally recognized standards and must demonstrate that their business is conducted with the highest level of quality, service and integrity. Reducing the risk for consumers, TASC accredited companies must undergo an audit executed by a third party.
The audit is thorough and includes a review of items such as the company’s website, financial position, history and employee training records. A secret shopper is additionally authorized to call in to each company and evaluates the legitimacy and accuracy of employee responses to common consumer debt questions. The overall audit evaluates companies for their competence and performance abilities.
“The audit was incredibly detailed and we are very pleased that we are now accredited; receiving such great feedback. This accreditation is a direct result of our staff’s hard work and on-going commitment to not only the company but to the thousands of clients they enroll each month into our debt reduction program”, says Harry Langenberg, co-founder and managing partner of Debtmerica, LLC.
Debtmerica has been settling debt since 2006 and currently has one of the largest staff of debt consultants in the country. The firm offers its clients an alternative to bankruptcy when dealing with unmanageable consumer debt. Their aggressive approach to settling debt has historically reduced consumer debt up to 40-60% of the original debt amount, enabling consumers to become debt free in as little as 12-36 months.
The downturn of the real estate industry has caused many people who were once employed there to turn to debt settlement as a new opportunity. This sudden massive interest in debt settlement has brought a lot of attention. However, some companies out there saw it as an opportunity to take advantage of consumers during these desperate times. Thus, TASC was formed in 2005.
TASC was created with the goals of promoting good business practices within the debt settlement industry and to protect consumers by setting standards for its members. To foster fair regulation of the industry, lobbying efforts are also made on the state and federal level on behalf of debt settlement companies. Such recognition, such as being Accredited in accordance with the TASC Best Practice Standards has enabled companies like Debtmerica, to separate themselves from the pack.
“In today’s financial crisis there are some companies out there that take advantage of consumers while they are down. The concerns of consumers are absolutely valid,” says Jesse Torres, co-founder and managing partner of Debtmerica, LLC. “I am pleased that TASC has implemented a standard in which debt settlement companies are measured by and that Debtmerica has been recognized by TASC as we continue to be dedicated to our clients’ success.”
