Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 17257
To whom it may concern;
My name is Lisa Marie Horner and I am unable to pay my, credit card bills and
have made many attempts to contact and resolve this issue with my credit card
companies. My husband John Horner Jr (the main income provider of the
household) has been laid off for the majority part of 2009. Because of this I have
entered into a program with First Financial Group. They have taken over paying
my credit card bill, this company has recently went out of business and I have now
entered into a credit program with Credit Solutions. I pay them a small amount
monthly and they are in contact with the credit companies to try and settle my
accounts for me. I have been in this program since December 2010.
Sincerely,
Lisa .anforner
Lisa Homer

Re: "Engagement Notification"
Debt Management Representation - "Request to Cease Verbal Communication"
To whom it may concern:
This letter will confirm the fact that I have entered into a debt-settlement program, as I am no longer able to
service my debts at their current levels. I am sending this letter to humbly request your office to please remove
my phone numbers from your database and contact me through written correspondence ONLY. The multiple
daily calls from your office are not helping in any way whatsoever to expedite the improvement of my current
situation, but rather causing severe, undue stress and merely compounding the situation, making it nearly
impossible to remedy the debts in a more timely fashion. I fully understand my financial obligations to you and
will attempt to make restitution to the best of my ability, as I do not wish -lo seek relief in Federal Bankruptcy
Court.
As a result of my circumstances, I have been forced to engage the services of Credit Solutions as a measure
of dealing with ALL of my debt and not just one individual account, as I have numerous accounts that need
reconciliation. Please be advised, from this point forward, I am politely and humbly asking all forms of verbal
communication with me to please CEASE. This shall include, but shall not be limited to, my home, work, friends,
family and/or places of recreation.
I have provided to Credit Solutions, which now has Limited Power of Attorney and legal authority to speak on
my behalf. Please note this fact for your records.
A COPY OF THE SIGNED "LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY" IS ATTACHED FOR YOUR RECORDS.
Contact Information: Credit Solutions
12700 Park Central Dr, 21 It Floor
Dallas, Texas 75251
(469) 341-1551; (214) 853-5997 fax
At this time I am requesting that you l2lease close the above-mentioned account and notify each credit
r portingaaency to which you report, that this closing is at my request. As funds become available Credit
Solutions will present your office with a settlement proposal, on my behalf, which will take into consideration
the number of outstanding accounts, in conjunction with my current economic situation. Credit Solutions has
recommended a savings budget that will help accomplish settlement as expeditiously as possible. Furthermore,
should my financial situation improve at any point during my debt-setlement program, Credit Solutions
will contact your office with a proposal for settlement ahead of the recommended schedule.
Thank you,
