Credit Solutions Reaffirms Its Commitment to USOBA, A Leading Debt Settlement Industry Association

DALLAS--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Credit Solutions has completed an intensive, 3-day audit for compliance with the best-practice standards of The U.S. Organizations for Bankruptcy Alternatives (USOBA), a leading U.S. debt negotiation industry association dedicated to consumer protection.

“Our USOBA audits also are designed to reassure current and prospective clients that we are committed to the highest standards of professional conduct and business best-practices”

The company first earned USOBA certification in October 2008 via an independent audit by BSI Management Systems, a division of The BSI Group -- the accredited global registrar that works with organizations to assess the implementation and administration of their quality management systems and business processes.

To maintain USOBA certification, Credit Solutions’ sales, customer service and settlement operations are audited “top-to-bottom” annually to ensure they are continuing their commitment to USOBA’s standards of excellence, consumer protections and disclosures, and customer satisfaction.

“Our USOBA audits also are designed to reassure current and prospective clients that we are committed to the highest standards of professional conduct and business best-practices,” said Credit Solutions CEO Doug Van Arsdale.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 41 bills have been introduced at the state level this year that would regulate debt settlement, credit counseling, and debt management programs. And despite changes in bankruptcy legislation that made filing for bankruptcy more difficult, record numbers of Americans have done so. USOBA members often are consumers’ last hope before bankruptcy.
