Debt Settlement Clients Recommend Debt Shield

Columbia, MD, October 01, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Representatives at Debt Shield are seeing a significant increase in clients referring their friends and family members to the award-winning debt settlement company's debt relief services.

Debt Shield Advertising/Marketing Director Asa Williams attributes the increase to three key factors: the weak economy, Debt Shield's reputation and changing attitudes towards discussing personal debt.

"These are difficult times for many Americans, and we believe the availability of reputable debt relief services is crucial to helping our economy heal," Williams explained. "Fortunately, attitudes towards the taboo nature of personal debt are changing, and we expect this to benefit people. As more Americans find themselves in similar circumstances, they begin to share experiences and help each other find solutions to their debt problems."

Company data shows a 51 percent increase in referrals from 2005 to 2007 and another 40 percent increase is expected from 2007 to the end of 2008. Williams said that the sharp increase in referrals is a good sign for the company.

"The fact that clients are recommending our services is the highest indication of our program's success and our commitment to excellence in service," said Williams. "Word of mouth is the greatest compliment."

Client referrals include the number of people referred to Debt Shield by previous clients and by others familiar with the Debt Shield program.
