Welcome!

Most people, given the opportunity, want to pay their bills. Some unscrupulous businesses, however, have committed themselves to abusing consumers. Rather than working with consumers to reduce debt, these unscrupulous businesses take advantage of anyone that deals with them. Federal and state law protects consumers from these businesses.

Keep Copies of Your Records

It may seem like a simple thing to do, but when dealing with creditors, debt collectors, etc., one of the most important thing consumers can do is keep records of phone calls, letters, and any transactions with these entities.   Keeping a copy of these types of records can keep consumers aware of their financial relationship with these entities and can help remedy errors which may occur in the future.    -Meredith Phillips  (205) 912-8244

  1. It is important to also remember that when you keep contemporaneous notes (noted during or immediately after events happen)on a calendar or daily event log that these notes are admissable to take to the witness stand with you as you testify should there be a lawsuit over financial disputes. Such a simple but important defense.
