Consumers' lives are busier than ever. They are managing households, raising families, volunteering in their communities and working long hours. The last thing consumers want to worry about is their finances, paying off debt and sticking to a budget. The CareOne Credit Counseling service offered by The Freedom Point, a financial fitness organization, provides consumers with stress free solutions to paying off their debt and strengthening their money management skills.

Ali Landow, Director of Product Development for The Freedom Point, will be featured on the television segment along with three Freedom Point customers. They share their personal stories about debt, how it has affected their lives and how The Freedom Point has helped them gain control over their debt.

Almost every consumer in our country is affected by debt at some time or another. Current economic changes have most consumers feeling the pinch and are having a big impact on their personal financial wellbeing.

The Freedom Point's CareOne Credit Counseling Service has a unique approach in that it looks at each customer's individual situation and finds a repayment program that he or she can actually afford.

"By providing the CareOne Credit Counseling service, The Freedom Point goes beyond just offering the standard debt payment programs to highly leveraged consumers," said Clarky Davis, CareOne Credit Counseling spokesperson. "We help consumers address all the day-to-day life issues that are the result of being in debt."
