Proper resources help people make proper decisions

At American Profit Recovery we strive to be different from traditional collection agencies through all our efforts and actions. While we do aim to help our clients retrieve payments owed to their business, we also make every effort to help consumers understand how debt affects them. When the Doctor Debt program http://www.americanprofit.net/consumeradvice.htm  was launched last April, APR was happy to embrace the program which is designed to help consumers find answers to credit and debt questions on-line and free of charge.

The Doctor Debt program, spearheaded by the ACA International Education Foundation gives collection agencies the opportunity to educate consumers about the best methods to resolve their current debt and how to stay out of debt in the years ahead. Struggling with debt makes many feel overwhelmed, like they are drowning however, with good advice and solutions consumers can better navigate the waters. APR feels that by leading people to the proper information, they can make better decisions in the future.

The Doctor Debt program has experienced great success in the short time it has been around. In less that one year, the program has led to over 125 interviews, reached more than 25 million consumers and received an estimated $1 million in free advertising and publicity. APR looks forward to contributing to the success of the Doctor Debt program in 2010 and the years ahead as it is a program that helps reshape attitudes and perceptions of those in the collections industry. Just as we try to help businesses resolve debt, not just collect it at APR we are also here to help guide consumers to a number of tips to help them make better informed decisions.

We made a company-wide commitment last year to treat both customers and consumers with respect at all times and to support programs such as these. See our commitment below.
