Does anyone know anything about Mark Finance (a company/member on this site)? His name is Mark Ector and e-mailed me about his company which he says will refinance student loan debt and have it paid back in 18 months. I haven't looked into this at all, as it sounds way to good to be true. I'm just wondering if anyone else has heard from him and/or looked into what his company is actually offering.
If it is too good to be true, something is up. No such thing as a free lunch. Strange people sending you unsolicited offers would raise lots of red flags.
I would do your due diligence and find out some background information on this individual from a third party.
My company TPS FINANCE CONSULTING LLC works with GOVERNMENT DEBT RELIEF COMPANY that has the ability to reduce the balance owed on Student Loans, Credit Cards, Court Judgments and other Unsecured Debts and actually remove the interest rate all together. The program is set to have your loans paid off completely in 18 months (AND IT DOESN'T MATTER THE AMOUNT OF YOU CURRENT DEBT!!!!). It is the one thing that the government is doing to help those who understand the importance of education but are not reaping the benefits of having one.
SO PLEASE BEFORE YOU JUMP THE GUN AND DISMISS THIS PROGRAM AS YOU PROBABLY HAVE DONE WITH MOST THINGS SO FAR, FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF INSTEAD OF REQUESTING INFORMATION FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO ALSO HAVE NO REAL INFORMATION TO OFFER.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
We assume the liability of the client’s debt by using a “notice of assignment,” along with a limited power of attorney, to enable us to challenge consumer laws resulting in the ability to offset the debt. (Does not apply to Accts. in collections). We enforce the principles of contract law. We get the financial companies to accept a change in the terms and conditions so they are more favorable to the client, rather than being good for the financial companies. What we do is simple, yet very effective. The employment of this strategy has been successful for 8 years with an up front payment structure, and as of recent we have launched our 18 month payment program to make the service more accessible to individuals who can't afford to come up with the entire resolution amount up front.
Phase 1
The program is split into two Phases, Phase One and Phase Two. Phase One is the load up period and the amount required can be paid in a lump sum, or our underwriting guidelines allow for this amount to be distributed over the first four months. Clients are sent a welcome kit and are educated on Federal Consumer Protection laws which will help to reduce creditor calls. The Resolution Process does not start until the fourth payment is received.
Phase 2
Phase Two consists of fourteen monthly payments determined by the debt amount that is being resolved and how many creditors are included into the program. This amount is usually lower than the minimum payments that would be required on the cards included into the program and shows the client savings while the debt is being resolved and assumed by a Debt company. At the start of this Phase Two the client will be required to send in Original Statements of all Creditors (not copies or credit reports) and fill out 3 additional forms;
1.) New terms and conditions purchase agreement,
2.) Power of attorney,
3.) Two notice of assignments that must be notarized for each creditor.
These forms will outline new terms and will allow for us to assume the liability of the debt, which is our proprietary business model to resolving the debt enrolled.
THAT IS THE PROGRAM IN TOTAL. NO GIMICK, NO SMOKE AND MIRRORS. WE USE THE LAW TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES FOR YOU. BELOW ARE SO FAQs, SOME MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU.
FAQs
How is your credit affected?
The Fair Credit Billing Act states that while your debt is in dispute, the creditors may NOT report negatively on your credit report. If they do, they are in violation of your Federal rights. Upon completion of the process, client is eligible ***(through effort of their own, or a 3rd party company) to have negative and/or adverse items removed from all three major credit reporting bureaus. However, client should anticipate that their credit score will be negatively impacted by this process temporarily.
***As a service to all of my clients I do credit clean up usually for people buying houses, so I will make sure that the complete paid in full and any negative and/or adverse items removed from all three major credit reporting bureaus. At the end of the process your credit score will be substantially higher that it was due to the fact that you paid off a large balance earlier than anticipated. Then when they do the rescore your debt to income is a lot lower!
Is Debt Resolution Ethical and Legal?
Yes, absolutely. This is a question that most people always have when analyzing this type of program. We provide you with information as to the legality of what we do, and in terms of morality it is the financial companies that are immoral. When you understand that they create money out of thin air that they loan to you and then expect you to pay 30% interest on, you will learn that they are the immoral ones. The people we work with all over the country are people who are most likely just like you, people who paid their bills. You cannot get thirty, fifty or one hundred thousand dollars in credit cards with out paying all of your bills and having good credit. But sometimes bad things happens, life happens, there is a loss of income, someone gets hurt, a family member dies, or a business fails, and you simply cannot pay what you used to pay. When such hard times occur, more often than not, banks and Credit Card companies will not work you. Credit Card companies constantly monitor your credit report and when they see that you have begun to max out your credit lines, the will begin to raise your rates to astronomical levels. Why do they do it? It is because they can. It is simple; they get you in debt and keep you in debt, because it makes them money. Unfortunately, all consumer protection laws in regards to bank usury have been eliminated, and as such the bank can charge you what ever they want and they do. We want to help you get out of debt, and more importantly teach you to stay out of debt and not find yourself in the same situation ever again.
I would like to speak with you specifically about your personal situation and then provide you with some information regarding the help I can provide to you.
Please feel free to call me anytime.

Hi Mark,
Since you were willing to explain this with regards to debt in general, please explain it again for student loans.
I don't see how you are going to take someone's federal or private loans and get them to pay you the entire in debt in 18 months when they can't afford to pay it over 20 or 30 years.
But alas maybe I have misunderstood so please explain it again but for student loans. So try this - let's say I have $120,000 in federal direct student loans. Outline the program for me - where does your company come in? What do they do for me? How do you get paid? How much is this really going to cost me?

LOL - now I realize how desperate I've become - I'm actually dying to believe something so obviously ridiculous might be legitimate. I just got a notice today informing me that the rate on my loan was hiked because I'm behind on payments. Oh joy. I feel like my life has turned into some kind of a cruel joke.
I just caught the tail end of a blurb on the news that had to do w/Obama saying that the middle class in this country is under increasing assault. What does he really plan to do for us??? Bail out the banks again??? I feel increasingly scared over my loan situation, but other than the little hope I get from knowing there are so many others in my shoes, I don't feel there's any way out.
Obama is a sock puppet, His economic team is composed of Citi/GS/etc insiders who fought for the same laws that got us into this over leveraged mess. He is just a continuation of Bush.
You have Goldman Sachs using 0% loans from the federal reserve thanks to them being registered as a "Bank" and they use that 0% money to short the US dollar via foreign trade and also by buying risk free short term treasuries.
Obama is all talk, he will not allow the separation of proprietary trading and banking. Why loan to Joe the plumber and take risk when you can make risk free profits thanks to the government allowing firms free access to the 0% fed discount window.
Well, of course, they offer a paid service. The student loan companies have you in their clutches for life under current legislation--they can garnish your wages, social security, disability income. They have no reason to negotiate down very much. I have heard many times, though, that some people have been called by the collection agency who say something like, on an 85,000$ debt "can you pay 65,000$ by the end of the week to settle the debt?" But of course since most people aren't rich that doesn't work. I wouldn't assume that you can pay off a debt in 18 months unless it is pretty small to begin with; something like 80,000 let alone much more than that, isn't going to happen, especially since you are probably financially strapped and can't pay more than you already do anyway. I think 18 months is the usual 'rehabilitation period' for a defaulted student loan, and after that they might let you enter some (limited relief) program.
Mark has been challenged on this site, and he can't really respond as to how he gets these magic results.
I have had exchanges with others on this forum about so-called debt resolution services with promises of being able to reduce student loans, even federal loans. They won't provide any information on the forum for public view and insist on sending an information packet.
My informed opinion is that for all I have read this just isn't true. Perhaps with private loans something might be done but even there - with the lack of bankruptcy options - what incentives do these lenders have to negotiate anything?
So for lack of evidence I must say that these guys are scam artists trying to sell snake oil. They are about as legitimate as those emails I get from obscure African countries insisting that I have some money awaiting me in one of their banks - if I would only send them my bank account information so the money could be transferred.
Just my two cents.
Regards,
J. Densmore





Voila,
Yeah... I always preach this "DYS-do it your self"...
Its all about knowing your options.
IF YOU ARE IN DEFAULT:
Q:"What is the lowest payment amount possible?"
A: Standard payments should be 1.29% of your prin and interest on a monthly basis (Depends on the loan types, you might be able to negotiate it lower)
Q:"How can i make sure that the collection agency makes the LEAST amount of profit?"
A: Know your Stuff pre-calculate before negotiation
If you are not in default your question should be..
Q:"How can I find debt relief?"
A: Maybe Look into the IBR or Student Loan Forgiveness programs (Depends on your occupation)
