September 2020 IDM Special Edition

And though many of the attendees and nominees are famous Hollywood
people I thought…hey man, we already did that this year with the annual
Debt Review Awards and we were just as good.
Turns out we are ahead of the curve in the debt review industry and our
online Awards show will be just one of many such Awards shows held
remotely this year. And while I think Jimmy Kimmel is great I do think
Rob Van Vuuren is great. He went from host to demotivational speaker in
minutes and left us laughing and demoralized for days if not weeks after.
Thanks Rob!
But seriously, the team here at Debtfree Magazine (who help with
organizing the Awards each year) did an amazing job in not only
organizing the Awards but helping us as an industry to feel a few
minutes of relaxation, humor, tension and suspense and excitement. Well
done to the team and well done to all those recognized for their hard
work in the industry in what has undoubtedly been a year to remember.
A challenging year of note.
For consumers who are going through these tough times, all we can
say is: please talk to your Debt Counsellor about any and all issues that
come your way that threaten to take you out of the process. Speak to
them soon, speak to them honestly and be prepared to take the advice
they will give. 2020 is not a year for half measures and they may give
you some hard homework and tasks to accomplish but it will be worth
it to stay in the process and keep chipping away at your debt. Don’t let
2020 be the year that throws your financial future down the drain.
Also a big word of commendation and thanks to all those credit provider
debt review departments out there who are working through the
pandemic and pushing the other departments at the credit providers to
help keep their clients in debt review rather than put them back into the
old collections process. Well done to you for pushing to help your clients!
