The Credit Counseling Foundation Featured on TV Show

Recently TCCF was invited by a local Ft. Meyers, Fl. television station to appear on one of their shows to answer questions regarding credit counseling, debt consolidation and debt management. The show, "Lee Pitts Live," is hosted and produced by Mr. Lee Pitts, who, as we found out, is very highly regarded  among his peers and viewers. Therefore, we naturally were quite flattered and honored to be offered this opportunity since Mr. Pitts' show also has received substantial notoriety and acclaim over the years.

In its over thirteen years of being on the air, the show has been bestowed with the prestigious NAACP Image Award and has been inducted into the Lee County Black History Museum as the first minority hosted show in the region. Although the show is designed to bring to light matters which affect the minority community, credit problems, as we all know, transcend ethnicity, and would therefore be of interest to all prospective viewers.
 
Adhering to our mission as a non-profit company to "give back to the community", we jumped at the opportunity to better inform southwestern Florida's citizenry of the services we offer and to clarify how and who this program is designed to help. Accordingly, in mid-August we sent two TCCF representatives to tape a show for September airing. A number of topics and questions were addressed, but since this only scratched the surface of the information available, we have agreed to tape three more spots, one in each of the next three quarters to further address and expand on these vital issues. In addition, twice during each of Mr. Pitts’ weekly shows our commercial is aired, providing viewers with additional information about TCCF while affording them a conduit to contact us either via telephone or internet should they require more information or need to avail themselves of our counseling service and debt management program. We urge all of our clients in the Naples-to-Sarasota Florida area to tune into Mr. Pitts’ show which airs every Saturday at 11:30 AM and again at 8:00 PM on channel WEVU (UPN).
 
Based on the positive feedback we have received from just this one airing, we would like to extend an invitation to any TCCF clients or their friends and families in the southern Florida area who have an association with any local community or religious group, television or radio station, or print media to contact us if they would be interested in having one of our representatives attend one of their functions to discuss the pratfalls arising out of  incurring too much high interest credit and the specific solutions we offer.
