It’s A Crime How Debt Relief Works

In September 2007, Susie Hulse’s husband died after a long bout with colon cancer. Hulse found herself in frightening, unfamiliar territory. She’d left her job to care for her husband, Dale. Medical bills from all over the place – hospitals in Wenatchee, Spokane and Tulsa – were piling up. She’d found herself using credit cards to live and to cover co-pays. Her mother developed health problems and moved in with her. Before she knew it, she was staring at bankruptcy. She owed about $38,000 that she could not pay. One night, watching television in her Ephrata home, she saw an ad for Freedom Debt Relief. The ad promised that the company would help her get her financial life in order, settle her debts, get back on her feet. She called right away. She spoke to a guy named Mike. “I told them the whole sad story, and they were very sympathetic and said don’t worry, we’ll help you,” said Hulse, 59. “I felt so good after I talked to them. I felt like finally somebody understands”/ Shawn Vestal , SR. More here. (Photo: Susie Hulse and her husband, Dale, during his treatment for cancer in late 2005)
