Patented technology licensed to financial institutions for their debt resolution issues
Debt Resolve, Inc. (OTCBB and OTCQB: DRSV) Very few companies have been able to capitalize on the financial crisis.
Debt Resolve, Inc. has done so, by providing financial institutions, lenders, collection agencies, debt buyers and hospitals an ASP model to collect debt on the web, on line.
The Company is the “EBay” of debt resolution with a patented online collections tool that offers significant cost efficiencies to the debt collector and saves the indebted party from the dread debt collector phone call.
Debt Resolve provides a patent-based online bidding system for the resolution and settlement of consumer debt by selling their system to:
- Lenders
- Financial Institutions
- Collection Agencies
- Debt Buyers and
- Healthcare Facilities including Hospitals, Labs, Physicians and other service providers
Why Invest in Debt Resolve
Every aspect of our lives has been transformed into an online system in the last three years. The average age of a credit card defaultee is 34 years old with $12K in debt. Debtors now fully understand online payments. Most defaultees have had jobs and extensive internet experience. Most lenders have email addresses for debtors which allows easy email contact, which is more direct and less expensive than phone or mail.
Debt Resolve delivers a product that is a bidding platform. The auction model allows debtors to log on and essentially bid to resolve their debts.
Debts are resolved efficiently and effectively online. The telephone call center in India has been a disaster in every venue applied, particularly debt resolution.
The world has returned to American solutions, and an online debt solution center is less expensive than any call center, India or the United States.
With a simple internet interface financial institutions, lenders, collection agencies, debt buyers and hospitals are able to provide an internet based debt resolution platform.

Here’s how DebtResolve® works and WHY it works.
Debt Resolve® sells software to financial and other consumer creditors which include major banks and other businesses that own debt or service consumer debt portfolios.
Their software — that is user friendly — allows the indebted party to avoid speaking with the dreaded debt collector while providing incredible savings to the debt collector by automating the collection process. The patented online bidding system maximizes the settlement process. Everybody wins here!
The indebted party logs on to the screen developed by Debt Resolve and provided to the Bank or the Collection Party and supported by their software (which in turn is supported by five patents).
The Bank or the Collection Party has already keyed in an acceptable collection amount and payment schedule. The Debtor then has three opportunities to input their offer to resolve the debt. If any one of their offers meets the Collection Party’s acceptable collection amount and payment schedule, the debt is then resolved.

DR Collect™ for Collection Agencies and Law Firms
DR Collect™ is specifically targeted to the collection agency and collection law firm market.
This system allows an agency or law firm to implement a patented online collection channel in a matter of days. These completed upgrades now include a fully automated front end for the implementation of the system as well as the automation of the registration process, the payment process for monthly agency fees and the upload process to load accounts into the system.
The DR Collect™ system is capable of importing placement files in almost any format so that clients will no longer have to follow other data standards. Clients can use file formats they already use for other vendors or a standard export from their operating collection floor system. The frequency of upload is also determined by the client. In order to further promote adoption of the DR Collect™ platform, the Company has implemented a new pricing schedule for the agency and law firm market that is simple and cost effective.
Future upgrades are expected to automate the back end of the system to distribute all reporting back to the agency or law firm with no manual integration and allow limited ability to change the screens to be used by the client. Collectively, we anticipate these upgrades will virtually eliminate the implementation burden for our agency and law firm clients, putting them in control of many aspects of the system.
The implementation time for DR Collect™ is approximately seven days from the date of contract with the client for the agency and law firm market.
DR Collect™ pricing is considered to be the most competitive collection tool and channel in the market. It is believed that there is no comparable offering to DR Collect™ in the market today.

Patents
Debt Resolve incorporates certain of the same patented bidding technology used by Cybersettle. The named inventors on each of these patents are James D. Burchetta and Charles S. Brofman. Mr. Burchetta is the Co-Chairman and Founder of Debt Resolve. Mr. Brofman is the former President and CEO of Cybersettle, Inc. which he and Mr. Burchetta co-founded and which is now the leader in web facilitated insurance claim settlement. Debt Resolve has an exclusive license under these patents, and under patents which are issued or pending in numerous other countries around the world, in the field of resolving disputes related to the collection of consumer debt.
The Company has an exclusive license to use the systems and methods covered by the associated patents for the collection of consumer debt in the US and internationally.
U.S. Patent Numbers:
Growth
DebtResolve intends to market their service to other segments served by the collections industry worldwide.
It is anticipated that their system will be especially valuable for the collection of low balance debt, such as that held by utility companies and online service providers, where the cost of traditionally labor intensive collection efforts may exceed the value collected.
Additionally, the Company intends to pursue past-due Internet-related debt, such as that held by sellers of sales and services online. Consumers who incurred debt over the Internet are anticipated to be likely to respond favorably to an Internet-based collection solution. In addition, creditors of Internet-related debt usually have access to debtors’ e-mail addresses, facilitating the contact of debtors directly by e-mail.
It is believed that significant opportunities exist in healthcare with hospitals and large provider groups. Expanding to more recently past-due portfolios of such debt will result in higher settlement volumes, improving clients’ profitability by increasing their collections while reducing their cost of collections. No material incremental costs associated with developing these capabilities and marketing to these creditors are anticipated.
