Overview for Individuals / Entrepreneurs


 

This is it – this is the opportunity you have been looking for!


In a nutshell, the IAPDA affords you the chance to get in on the ground floor of a professional, respected industry that is not only growing extremely rapidly, but is also going through changes that will limit entry. This means that your lifetime IAPDA membership and certification opens doors for you, and allows you to practice your profession either on your own, or gives you an astoundingly important credential for your resume (one that may be the difference between getting hired or getting passed over.)

 

Regardless of how you want to use your membership, it will benefit you for the rest of your life.

About Debt Settlement:


Professional Debt Arbitration and Settlement is a multibillion dollar industry. There are literally tens of thousands of unresolved debt disputes, and they will stay unresolved without help. Until recently, debtors typically had no option other than to be dragged into the process of litigation (court) to try and salvage whatever possible. However, today, professional Debt Arbitration and Settlement by Certified Debt Specialists is the top recognized alternative nationwide.

 

The IAPDA training program allows you to become an important member of an International Professional Debt Settlement network of associates. Successful graduates of the training program are immediately granted lifetime membership in the IAPDA, and use the designation CDS, Certified Debt Specialist.

 

Our training system and methods create a WIN / WIN / WIN for the client, the creditors/collectors and the Certified Debt Professional, and our certified members resolve up to 94 % of the cases they take on.

  • As a Certified Debt Specialist you can earn income on a par with any successful Business Professional in your community.

  • The time for entering the Debt Arbitration and Settlement profession is right now. Lawsuits and bankruptcies are at record levels, and until now, consumers and business owners had no alternative but to use legal methods to resolve their debt problems.

  • Attorney costs are at an all time high. This makes a CDS (you) very viable.

  • Bankruptcy is not an option for a great many debtors. Again, this makes you very viable.

  • Everybody involved is desperate for a practical alternative. Creditors want it, and those in debt want it. This is why Debt Arbitration and Settlement is truly a business (and industry) whose time has come!

Our training program is based on hands-on experience, as well as many years in the world of business and on Debt Settlement industry training standards. We are the number one choice for training and certification in the debt settlement industry.

 

If you enjoy helping people resolve situations and disputes (which are always about money), there is no other profession quite like a Certified Debt Specialist. It’s a professional, respected business; you help people; and there are no upper limits on income potential.
