SMU Cox School of Business Ranks Credit Solutions Among Dallas’ Most Dynamic Companies in 2nd Consecutive Year

DALLAS--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Credit Solutions ranks 18th in this year’s Dallas 100™ Awards given to the fastest growing, privately held companies in North Texas by the Southern Methodist University (SMU) Cox Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship.

“Best Places to Work for in Texas”

Now in its 19^th year, the Dallas 100™ rankings were announced at the Morton Meyerson Symphony Center during an awards dinner. Credit Solutions’ exceptional growth was also recognized by the Dallas 100™ last year.

“It is an honor to be recognized by the Dallas 100 two years in a row,” said CEO Doug Van Arsdale. “Credit Solutions works hard to provide U.S. consumers facing financial hardship with the means and support they need and provide real results during these uncertain economic times.”

In order to qualify for the Dallas 100™, a company must be privately held and headquartered in the Dallas area. The top 100 companies are chosen on the basis of increased growth over the last three years, with weight given to both percentage growth and absolute dollar growth.

In addition to receiving a Dallas 100™ Award, Credit Solutions has also been named one of the “Best Places to Work for in Texas” and has been recognized as a fast-growing business by the Inc. 5000 list and the Comerica Bank Collin 60.

Since its 2003 founding, Credit Solutions has settled over $1 billion in unsecured client debt and currently manages over $2.25 billion of consumer debt for nearly 100,000 U.S. clients.
