  1. Hi Khaleal,
    I think we need to give regulators and consumers group a better perspective of this industry. I believe they have a misconception that the only people that offer the service are the fly by night companies, when in reality I know there are good sound business people that not only care for consumers but do a heck of a job for them.
    I am just tired of the good actors taking the fall for the bad actors and if we all pull together and show transparency and results. i believe this industry can regain it’s proper image that I believe it deserves.

  2. Thanks for the responses. I was curious about the content of the webinar. I just wanted more information on states that are not restricting debt settlement providers. I am in AZ and I am very aware of AZ statues and requirements, I need more information on TX, & NV and any other states that allow debt settlement.
    To answer your question Alex on getting companies together will be a task. I would be interested in hearing your ideas……

    Thanks again to all.

  3. Hi Guest and Khaleal,
    I am sorry you might have missed the point of the webinar. I had the opportunity to speak with Scott about the webinar before and after.
    I believe somehow you might have gotten the wrong impression. I believe the whole point of the webinar was based off of a previous call that was discussed.
    Many business owners in our space have been relying on “interpretation” of the rules that apply to what it is we do. Some people are even operating based on opinions given to them by some outside council, that may not be vested in the industry.
    I have been in the industry for 11 years and I still believe there is ongoing changes and regulations that may apply to use based on recent case studies that absolutely affect what it is we do today and moving forward.
    Let’s face the facts. Many people got into this industry because they saw an opportunity without even considering the fact that they were entering the world of Financial Services and the rules that pertain to that world.
    The main focus is to see if people are interested in learning more about the rules that apply to our individual companies and to make smart business decisions as to what States require what. If you ask 10 companies as to licensing requirements you will get probably 10 different answers. If we can get enough companies interested in getting together and discuss these details in person in a conference room, that would probably dismiss much of the myth (it cannot be discussed on a conference call and do it justice).
    I for one am trying to see if 10-15 companies are willing to get together in the west coast (California) to see what will be affecting our marketability in the different states, then ANON ONLY then would people decide to see if it made sense to hire a consultant to help you navigate through the paperwork requirements for each state.
    I believe a meeting like this has merit and will be very useful to get all of the compliant companies together to effect a change on the perception of this industry. I hope you might find this a little more useful in deciding.
    If we all don’t come together and do the business the right way, don’t be surprised to see the Government agencies throw out the baby with the bath water.

  4. Really? I thought it was helpful. It’s not easy to keep up with new legislation for each state. Venable charged me $2,500 just for clarity on 3 states. Scott provided a snapshot of licensing, bonding and insurance requirements on 6 states for FREE, not sure what else you were looking for?

  6. This “webinar” was a big disappointment, he simply said that the states have laws or licensing requirements, and if we want to do business in a state then try to comply with those requirements, thats it. The powerpoint presentation was a few screenshots of a few states laws. No one learned anything new. It seems the real objective of this was to sell his consulting services.
