01 / Debt Settlement
Debt relief clients who qualify, and who stay enrolled.
Nobody enrolls in a debt program off a form. They enroll on a call where they say out loud how much they owe, hear what the program actually does, and agree to start. We staff that call, qualify on real balance and real ability to pay, and hand your enrollment team people who are ready to sign.

Why the form fill lies
A debt lead is cheap. An enrollment is not.
Debt relief is one of the most heavily marketed categories in the United States, and the cost of a click reflects it. What that spend buys is a name, a phone number and a self-reported debt figure typed by somebody halfway through a bad month. It is not a customer. In this industry the gap between the lead and the enrollment is where the money is either made or quietly burned.
It is burned in a specific way. A floor paid on contacts will enroll anyone who says yes, which sounds like a good month until the third statement cycle, when the people who could never afford the draft stop paying and leave. The fee structure this industry works under means the firm is not paid until a debt is actually settled, so an enrollment that drops out in month three did not just fail to earn. It cost the firm the servicing, the trust account setup and the compliance overhead, and it cost a slot that a qualified client could have taken.
So the number we are hired to move is not conversations. It is enrollments that are still enrolled a quarter later, and that means the floor has to be willing to end a call with someone who wanted to say yes.
How a debt lead becomes an enrollment
Six steps, and a rejection at any of them.
A record enters the floor as a name and a self-reported figure. It reaches your enrollment team only if it survives every step below, and most records do not.
- The dial
- A dedicated agent works the record on a cadence your team agrees to. Debt relief records go cold fast and they answer at specific hours, so the cadence is built around when your market actually picks up rather than a single attempt that gets marked dead.
- The qualifying questions
- Unsecured balance by creditor, roughly how far behind, what changed to cause the hardship, and what the household can genuinely put aside each month. Written down as the person says it, in their own figures, not rounded into something that looks better on a report.
- The disclosure
- Your required disclosures, read as written and captured on the recording. The agent explains what the program does and does not do, using your approved language, so the client who enrolls knows what they agreed to before your licensed staff ever pick up.
- The handoff to a licensed voice
- The floor stops where advice starts. Anything that is a legal or financial recommendation, the terms of a settlement, the consequences for a credit file, the alternatives to a program, goes to your own licensed staff. Agents qualify and schedule. They do not counsel.
- The second voice
- A separate verification team calls back and re-confirms the balance, the ability to pay and that the disclosures were understood, before the enrollment counts. A record that cannot be re-confirmed does not reach you and is not billed, which is the check that makes this pricing model safe for you to buy.
- The rejection
- Enrollments you reject come back to us with the reason. The reason goes into the next week of training and into the QA scoring, which is how the definition sharpens instead of drifting toward whatever is easiest to sell.
The line agents do not cross
Compliance is not a slide in the onboarding deck.
Debt relief is watched more closely than almost anything else sold over a phone, and the exposure sits with you rather than with your vendor. That is exactly why we run this the way we do: your framework, your language, our discipline in staying inside it.
- Your scripts, your disclosures
- Approved by your compliance team before launch and not changed without them. An agent who wants a better rebuttal raises it with the coordinator, who raises it with you. Nobody improvises on a recorded line in this category.
- No advice from the floor
- Agents do not tell anyone whether a program is right for them, what a settlement will look like, what it will do to a credit file, or how it compares to bankruptcy. Those questions route to your licensed staff, and the routing is part of the script rather than a judgement call.
- Consent and suppression
- We dial the records you provide on the consent basis you provide them under. Your suppression and do-not-call lists are applied as you supply them, and a number you pull comes out of the cadence.
- Every call, not a sample
- Every call is recorded, transcribed and scored by our AI QA system on compliance first and selling second. A five-person QA team calibrates those scores and reports daily. Flagged interactions are escalated the same day with the recording attached rather than surfacing in a monthly summary.
- One client per team
- The team and its coordinator work your program only. No shared pods, no blended queues, and nobody carrying a competitor's rebuttals into your calls on the next shift.
The months after the signature
The enrollment that leaves in month three was never an enrollment.
The hardest part of this business is not the sale. It is the twenty-fourth to forty-eighth month of a program, when the draft keeps coming out and the results are slow and visible progress is thin. That is when people stop paying, and a settlement firm's economics live or die on how many of them do.
The same floor can work that problem, because it is a calling problem. Welcome calls in the first week, so the first voice after the sale is not a collections letter. Draft reminders before a payment fails rather than after. Progress calls at the points in the program where people historically go quiet. And a save conversation for the client who has decided to leave, run with your retention offers and your approved language.
This is the same work described in our collections and retention lane, pointed at your own book instead of a creditor's. Most firms buy the enrollment side first and add this once they have seen what a month of held enrollments is worth.
What it costs
Per result. Not per seat, not per hour.
You pay against the number we agree to own, which for most debt settlement clients is the qualified enrollment. There is no setup fee, no seat fee, and nothing billed during recruiting and training, so the cost of building your team sits with us until the team produces.
The rate moves with how strict your definition is, the balance floor you will accept, the states you work and the volume you need in a month. A program that only takes high balances with documented hardship costs more per enrollment than one with a wide gate, because the floor dials longer to find each one. We quote it once we have seen your criteria, on the first call, not from a price list.
There is no minimum commitment. If it does not work, wind it down with notice. You will have paid for the enrollments you accepted and nothing for the infrastructure behind them.
The first thirty days
Live in three to ten days, calibrated in the first two weeks.
Recruiting against your customer profile and training on your program run in parallel, which is what makes three to ten days from signed terms possible rather than optimistic. Team size moves that number more than anything else, and in this category script and disclosure approval on your side is usually the longer pole.
Then a soft launch at reduced volume while scoring calibrates. The first two weeks are where the definition on paper meets the households on the phone: the balance floor turns out to be too high or too low, the hardship question lands wrong, a rebuttal your best closer uses turns out to be one the floor should not. Everything gets adjusted while volume is still small enough that adjusting is cheap.
After that you get a daily report against one number, and a floor you are welcome to visit. Sit behind your agents in Cairo, join a standup, listen to live calls. It is the fastest way to know what you are buying.
Questions
What counts as a qualified enrollment?
You define it with us before launch. Typically an unsecured balance above your floor, a confirmed hardship, a monthly amount the household can genuinely commit, and your disclosures read and understood on a recorded line. It is written into the agreement so there is no argument later.
Do your agents give debt or legal advice?
No. Agents qualify, disclose using your approved language, and schedule. Whether a program is right for someone, what a settlement will look like, what it does to a credit file, how it compares to bankruptcy: all of that routes to your licensed staff, and the routing is written into the script rather than left to the agent.
How do you handle compliance on debt relief calls?
Scripts and disclosures are approved by your compliance team before anyone dials and are not changed without them. We dial the records you provide on the consent basis you provide them under, and apply your suppression and do-not-call lists as you supply them. Every call is recorded, transcribed and scored on compliance first, and flagged interactions are escalated the same day with the recording attached.
What happens to an enrollment we reject?
It comes back to us with your reason and you are not billed for it. The reason feeds the next week of training and the QA scoring. A pattern of rejections is a briefing problem on our side, and we treat it as ours to fix.
Can you work aged debt leads as well as fresh ones?
Yes, and the cadence is different. Aged records need more attempts across more hours before they are honestly dead, which is work an in-house closer will not do and a floor paid per result will. We agree the attempt pattern before launch so nobody is guessing at what dead means.
Can the same team handle retention once clients are enrolled?
Yes. Welcome calls, draft reminders before a payment fails, progress calls at the points where clients historically go quiet, and save conversations with your approved retention offers. Most firms add it after they have seen a month of the enrollment side.
How fast can a debt settlement team be live?
Three to ten days from signed terms, depending on team size. Recruiting against your customer profile and training on your program run in parallel, then a soft launch at reduced volume while scoring calibrates. Script and disclosure approval on your side is usually what sets the date.
What do you need from us to start?
Your program and fee structure, the states you work, your qualifying criteria and disqualifiers, your approved scripts and disclosures, the data or campaign you want worked, and CRM access for tracking. Recruiting, training, management, QA, verification and reporting are ours.
