Congratulations
on joining the program!
We would like to welcome you as you take your rst step towards debt freedom. Were excited
to have you join our family of individuals committed to nancial security and stability. Our goal is to
work efciently, effectively, and aggressively with you to successfully relieve you of your burden. Our
Debt Resolution Program is specically designed to do this as well as help you redesign your
nancial landscape and get you on a path to building wealth. Expect to get several calls from us, just
checking in on your program as you go through the process of resolving your debt. We will also be
sending you our Budgeting & Financial Education Package and a monthly newsletter full of tips and
ideas on how to save money and stay on solid nancial footing.
But frst, enclosed are a few simple but very important actions
you must frst take:
To start your personal Debt Resolution Program the checklist on page 6 lists the documents you must
complete and tells you where to nd those documents. It is essential you carefully read the instructions
that precede each document to ensure the process is as smooth and effortless as possible. Once you
return these necessary documents to us, we can begin our work.
Finally, be sure to read our section on the following page to nd out how to best minimize
collection harassment.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Client Services at (800) 655-6303.
Please do not give this number to creditors, as it is reserved for you and our valued clients.
Note: You also have the ability to review your program information online 24/7 by signing into our
Client Portal website address (see below). Here, you can monitor the progress of your program,
account status for negotiations, check your Dedicated Account balance, request changes to your
drafts or update your contact information, plus more. Please be sure to visit this site for all your op-
tions to self manage your progress in your program. See Pages 21-22 for more.

Minimizing Collection Harassment:
Address Change
One of our fundamental goals here at Freedom is to maximize your savings while minimizing collection
harassment. Nevertheless, you will likely receive (or continue to receive, depending on your current
status) telephone calls and other communications from your creditors or collectors. We want to help you
minimize collection harassment and help you manage any calls or efforts that you must deal with as we work
to resolve your debt.
One action you may choose to make is to change your creditors point of contact. To do this, on your
monthly statement from each creditor whose debt we are working to resolve for you, replace your address
and phone number with ours on your payment stub and send it back to the creditor (you do not need to
make a payment, simply return the address change). This will help immensely in our efforts to keep your
account information up to date. Note, do not change the address for your home loan, car loan, secured loans,
or other accounts that are not enrolled on our program.
Your accounts, change address and phone # to:
4940 South Wendler Drive, Suite 101
Tempe, AZ 85282
Tel: (916) 649-3802
If you continue to receive billing statements, you can just send your change of address and phone number to
the creditor again.
Also remember to be very careful in all conversations with creditors and collectors. Any infor-
mation you give them could be used against you in the negotiation process. If they contact you, refer to the
instructions in the enclosed document titled Information Regarding Collection Calls. Please be advised
that it is crucial to get off the phone without giving your creditors details about your situation that may work
against you in our negotiation process.

Immediate Actions to Take
Your Creditors:
1. You may call all your creditors or use the enclosed Notice to Close Account at
Consumers Request letter (see page 8-9) to close all your credit cards and other
accounts that are being resolved. If you decide to use the letter, you will need to make
copies and complete one for each creditor. By closing your accounts proactively,
your credit profle may look better than closed by creditor.
2. DO NOT use credit while in the program.
Bank Accounts:
3. Make sure the amount you agreed to budget for this program is available for
transfer on the day specifed in your contract (for example, $600 on the
28th of each month). You opened a Dedicated Account for the settlement savings;
this amount will be transferred from your existing account and into your Dedicated
Account on the same day each month. Please note that it can take two days for these
electronic checks to clear your account. For information on your Dedicated Account,
call Client Services at (800) 655-6303.
4. In order to ensure that you are able to maintain the discipline necessary to complete
our program, we recommend that you close or otherwise stop using your credit card
accounts.
5. Please note that your monthly savings drafts are automatically scheduled in advance. If
you require a change to your draft, you must notify our Client Services at least 5 busi-
ness days prior to your draft date by calling Client Services at (800) 655-6303.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need to close my accounts?
In order to ensure that you are able to maintain the discipline necessary to complete our program, you
should stop using your credit card accounts while in the program.
As part of this, you may choose to close your accounts. We have included a Notice to Close Account at
Consumers Request letter (see page 8-9). If you want to close your account by letter, please make copies
of the letter and send it to each of your creditors in our resolution program. Otherwise, you can call
each creditor to close your accounts. Of course, the nal decision on closing your accounts is up to you.
2. If my spouse is NOT signing the Debt Resolution Agreement, do I still have to include
his/her fnancials on the Financial and Hardship Statement?
We prefer that you include this information; if you do not want to disclose this information you are not
required to do so.
3. Do I need to fll in each creditor and account number for the Request to Cease Further
Communication Form?
NO. Please simply sign and print your name, DO NOT DATE. We will ll in the creditor/account
information as we send these off to your creditors as necessary.
4. Do I send the Request to Cease Further Communication to the Collector myself?
This is not necessary. Please sign at the bottom and return to us, DO NOT DATE. Our client services group
will be sending this information to your creditors listed in the program as needed or per your request.
5. Do you stop collectors from harassing me?
It is important to realize that no company can completely stop all collection calls on delinquent accounts.
That said, we have procedures in place designed to minimize collection harassment. Some collectors may
continue calling after you sign up for the program. Included in your Welcome Pack is an easy to follow phone
script in case they do call (see pages 18-20). In addition, you may submit the change of phone number and
address forms to your creditors and/or collectors so the collectors call us instead of you.
With our program, a client who owes $30K
today could resolve his/her debt much faster
compared to paying monthly payments!

*Clients who make all their monthly program payments pay approximately 50% of their enrolled balance before fees, or 68% to 75% including fees, over 24 to 48 months.
Not all clients are able to complete our program for various reasons, including their ability to save sufcient funds. Our estimates are based on prior results, which will vary
depending on your specic circumstances. We do not guarantee that your debts will be resolved for a specic amount or percentage or within a specic period of time. We
do not assume your debts, make monthly payments to creditors or provide tax, bankruptcy, accounting or legal advice or credit repair services. Our service is not available
in all states and our fees may vary from state to state. Please contact a tax professional to discuss potential tax consequences of less than full balance debt resolution. Also
explore debt relief alternatives such as debt consolidation, renance and credit counseling. Read and understand all program materials prior to enrollment. The use of debt
settlement services will likely adversely affect your creditworthiness, may result in you being subject to collections or being sued by creditors or collectors and may increase
the outstanding balances of your enrolled accounts due to the accrual of fees and interest. However, negotiated settlements we obtain on your behalf resolve the entire ac-
count, including all accrued fees and interest. C.P.D. Reg. No. T.S. 12-03825

I have been receiving collection calls from your company seeking to collect on the above

any payments towards this debt at this time, nor do I have any assets that could be used to
satisfy this account. I am, however, working diligently on a plan to resolving all of my debts.
Please accept this letter as my written request to cease all telephone calls, whether it be at my
home, my workplace, my cell phone or any other means of communication you may use to
attempt to reach me.
I appreciate your understanding and I will contact you when I am in a position to resolve my

Information Regarding Collection Calls
1. One of the rst things your debt resolution team does for you is to send the Authorization to Communi-
cate Letter to many of your creditors, requesting them to work with us directly. For information on how
the FDCPA protects you, please visit http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.htm. In many states, origi-
nal creditors are also bound by similar laws. However, you may still receive phone calls or mailings from
your creditors, collection agents, or attorneys representing creditors. While we wish that we could halt
100% of collection activity, the reality is that no company can stop all callsbut rest assured that, while
inconvenient, this is a normal part of the process.
2. If you are contacted by telephone, be polite but do not give the creditor any information that could
be used against you. While unpleasant, be aware that typically collection activity in this initial period is
unproductive for the creditor, for us, and for you. Since funds typically have yet to accumulate in your
account, and since your creditor may be less willing to settle, it might be too early to negotiate a settle-
ment.
3. Remember, collectors can be very effective at getting you to speak with them it is not personal, it is
their job. It is important to use and stay with the script provided for you when talking with collectors. Use
of this script can support our negotiation process with your collectors. If they wont get off the phone,
or keep calling, remember that you have the right to simply hang up on them and call Client Services to
report the issues.
4. CALLS AT WORK: If you get any phone calls at your job, tell the collector, I am not allowed to take per-
sonal calls at work and you are jeopardizing my job by doing so. If you call again, I will le a complaint with
the attorney general and the FTC.
5. Creditors, and particularly debt collectors, will say almost anything to get you to speak to them and make
a payment. False statements from collectors that we have heard in the past include:
We never settle for less than full value on our accounts
We have not received any correspondence from anyone about your account
These statements are designed to convince you to pay money do not fall victim to these tactics. We
will keep you informed of the negotiation process. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please call
Client Services at (800) 655-6303.
Note: There is no guaranteed way to completely eliminate all collection calls,
particularly calls from original creditors. The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act
applies directly to third party collectors, and similar protections apply to the original
creditor in some states (e.g. California). For this reason you may choose to change
all creditor correspondence to our address. While an unpleasant part of the process,
and we wish that we could halt all calls, the collection and account aging process is a
natural part of your debt resolution program.
Phone Script for Creditor/Collector Calls

any details of how much you are paying each month into your debt settlement program or anything about
your nancial situation, as this could be used against you. Collectors are paid to be persistent, so, remember, its
your right to get off the phone whenever you want youre not obligated to talk with anyone. Creditors and
collectors believe that they can collect more money from you than from us, which is why they would rather
speak to you if you let them.
If they continue to call and ask you questions, simply repeat the above script and hang up. Continue to reiter-
ate: I cant make regular payments because I have a hardship. I am trying to avoid bankruptcy. I will be in
contact when I can work something out with you.
