Debt settlement · Settlement letters

At National Debt Relief, 95% of debt settlement letters go straight through

National Debt Relief, a New York debt settlement company, uses Docsumo to read the terms in creditors' settlement letters, however each one is written.

A debt settlement letter from a personal loan lender, a two-page scanned PDF. Docsumo reads the loan account ending 2093, a settled balance of $6,238.50, a settlement amount of $2,495.40 and a plan of four payments of $623.85. The plan adds up to the settlement and National Debt Relief's rules pass, so the letter goes straight through and approved data goes to the client's record by API.
