Work Experience
Customer Service/Negotiator
Debt Rx - Frederick, MD
January 2022 to Present
Answer incoming calls and assist clients with their accounts such as lowering or increasing monthly deposits, adding or removing creditors to their program, and updating banking information for monthly deposits to pay off debts once a settlement is reached with the creditor. Make outbound calls daily to the client’s creditors to negotiate a settlement for less than they owe due to financial hardship.
Once a settlement is reached with a creditor work with the client to sign off on the agreement via fax/ email and then reach back out to creditor to setup the payments through the savings account that is dedicated to paying these debts.
Clients also have their statements and collection letters from creditors in the program redirected to us so we can keep up with accounts and have up to date information in order to reach settlements as quickly as possible.
