FAQs

To begin, DMB Financial's Financial Guardian Program™ is all about negotiating a fair settlement with those creditors with whom you have unsecured debt. By means of an affordable, structured savings plan that is created based upon your budget, and not ours, the funds from YOUR client owned, F.D.I.C. insured account are used towards debt negotiations and settlements.

Simply put, unsecured debt is money owed without collateral. Some examples of unsecured debt might include:

• Credit cards
• Lines of credit
• Personal or signature loans
• Medical bills

The other type of debt people usually have is called secured debt. Secured debt is money that was borrowed with a condition that if you fail to make your payments one (or more) of your possessions may be seized and sold by the secured creditor. Some examples of secured debt might include:

• Mortgage(s)
• Car loan/lease
• Financing contract (e.g. furniture)

DMB Financial negotiates a fair settlement with its client's creditor(s) for resolution of unsecured debt owed-subject to both client and creditor approval. Following the completion of a client's personalized debt settlement program, DMB's typical client has seen over 50% of their unsecured debt written off.

Individual results may vary based on ability to save funds, amount of debt, willingness of creditors to negotiate, and the successful completion of all program terms. (DMB's fees not included in savings disclosure). Program does not assume or pay any debts, nor provide legal or tax advice. Prudence should always be taken by consumers when reviewing contracts and disclosure materials. DMB's services not available in all states.

We realize that consumers who do not affectively deal with reducing their overall debt load in a timely manner, also run the risk of negatively affecting their credit score. So, while a good credit score is important, so is reducing ones debt. In the end, a particular credit score may be somewhat irrelevant unless credit is available to use responsibly.

Clients will pay an enrollment fee equal to the first two monthly payments of our agreed upon personal debt settlement program. The client also agrees that DMB Financial is entitled to a fee in the amount of twenty five percent (25%) of the difference between the creditors claim (debt) amount and the amount negotiated by DMB Financial. There is also a nominal monthly administration fee of $34.95, which is included in the monthly savings amount for every month that the Client is enrolled in the program.

Communicating early with creditors can often prevent accounts from becoming delinquent or being turned over to collection agencies. However, in the event your accounts do become delinquent and a collection agency is employed (by your creditor) they rarely have the authority to accept anything other than a total lump sum payment to settle your debt. On the other hand, DMB Financial has the expertise to negotiate with your creditor(s) before your account(s) become delinquent.
