www.creditsolutions.com - Credit Solutions has been accredited through an independent audit on behalf of the United States Organization for Bankruptcy Alternatives (USOBA), the debt negotiation industry's oldest, largest, most respected trade association.

"The certificate granted demonstrates that Credit Solutions' Quality Management System complies with USOBA's best practice standards," said Jenna Keehnen, Executive Director of USOBA, adding, "USOBA pioneered the

first accreditation program available to the debt settlement industry, and we are very proud that Credit Solutions has voluntarily undergone this consumer protection measure."

In the past year, 10 states have enacted laws impacting the debt negotiation industry, and despite changes in bankruptcy legislation that made filing for bankruptcy more difficult, record number of Americans filed for bankruptcy. USOBA members often are consumers' last hope before bankruptcy.

"Although we have long been a member of the USOBA, this official accreditation permits us to help even more people," said Credit Solutions CEO Doug Van Arsdale. "As an industry leader, we are continually seeking ways to further best-practice standards."

USOBA Accreditation Program audits are administered by BSI Management Systems, a division of the BSI Group, an accredited global registrar that works with organizations to assess the implementation and administration of their management systems and business processes.
