The Truth About Debt Relief Programs That They Don't Want You To Know About - Free Consumer Report

Free report reveals tips for selecting the right type of debt help without getting ripped off by an unethical debt relief company.

2011-01-14

CHESHIRE, CT, January 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Consumers are looking for honest information about debt relief, but the right information is often hard to find. TV and radio ads often contain bold promises that are not attainable for the average person, or are not the right type of solution for most people.

Getting out of debt is one of the most common New Year's Resolutions, so this is an important time of year to learn the truth about the different ways to get out of debt. Most people do not realize that there are several different types of debt reduction programs, so they are sometimes surprised when their debt does not get paid off as quickly as promised in the ads.

Statistics show that only about 25% of consumers stick with a debt relief program to the end. Why is this number so low? First, many of these companies don't spend enough time educating their customers about how their service works. Second, others don't explain the differences between the various options, or accept clients even when their service is not the right one. So where can consumers find honest advice on getting out of debt? And how can they avoid getting ripped off by companies that don't always act in their best interest?

The editors of Debt-Tips.com have developed a free report for consumers explaining "The Truth About Debt Relief Programs That They Don't Want You To Know About". This report offers helpful advice on finding the right type of debt relief service for each situation, guidelines for asking the right questions when contacting a professional debt service, and tips for avoiding potential rip-offs. The new credit card laws that took effect in 2010 will help some, but consumers still owe it to themselves to learn as much as possible about the often controversial debt relief industry.

There are many honest, legitimate companies willing to offer help. And there are several do-it-yourself options. A consumer's best weapon is an understanding of all their options. To learn the warning signs you need to know when seeking professional debt help, get a copy of this report to get the information every consumer struggling with credit card debt needs to know.

US family physicians miss opportunities to discuss IUDs with patients

2011-01-13

January 11, 2011 – (BRONX, NY) – Intrauterine devices (IUDs) for contraception are safe and effective, but only a small fraction of women in the United States use them. Now, a national survey of family physicians conducted by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, has found that family physicians typically have gaps in knowledge about IUDs, are often uncomfortable discussing them with patients, and frequently believe that their patients would not be receptive to talking about IUDs. The findings are published in the December 3 online ...

First genetic test for predicting IVF success

2011-01-13

January 11, 2011 — (BRONX, NY) — A researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University has helped to develop the first genetic blood test for predicting the chances that in vitro fertilization (IVF) will lead to a successful pregnancy. The test, reported in the online medical journal PLoS One, is based on the finding that different subtypes of the FMR1 gene (also known as the fragile X mental retardation gene) in potential mothers are associated with significantly different chances of conceiving with IVF. "This is the first evidence that a specific ...

Texas A&M study finds courtship affects gene expression in flies

2011-01-13

COLLEGE STATION, Jan. 11, 2011 – Biologists at Texas A&M University have made an important step toward understanding human mating behavior by showing that certain genes become activated in fruit flies when they interact with the opposite sex. Their research, published in the January 2011 issue of the journal GENETICS, shows that courtship behaviors may be far more influenced by genetics than previously thought. In addition, this new understanding as to why and how these genes become activated within social contexts may also lead to insight into disorders such as autism. "Be ...

Measles virus, a weapon against cancer?

2011-01-13

GALVESTON, Texas — When most people in the developed world think of measles, what comes to mind is only a dim memory of a vaccination at a pediatrician's office. But while childhood vaccination has virtually eliminated measles from North America and much of Europe, researchers remain interested in the virus. This fascination persists partly because improving the measles vaccine could help eliminate the more than 10 million measles infections and 150,000 measles-caused deaths that still occur worldwide. But it also has another source: Scientists believe that modified ...

New UCLA-designed microscope records firing of thousands of individual neurons in 3-D

2011-01-13

Some disorders of the brain are obvious — the massive death of brain cells after a stroke, the explosion in the growth of cells that marks a tumor. Other disorders, such as autism, schizophrenia and mental retardation show no physical signs of damage and are believed to be caused by problems in how brain cells communicate with one another. To understand the root of the problem of these latter diseases, visualizing brain activity is key. But even the best imaging devices available — fMRIs and PET scans — can only give a "coarse" picture of brain activity. UCLA neuroscientists ...

BRNI identifies new therapies for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease

2011-01-13

Morgantown, WV, January 11, 2011 – A Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute (BRNI) study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience reveals underlying causes for the degeneration of synapses in Alzheimer's Disease and identifies promising pharmaceutical solutions for the devastating condition that affects more than 5 million people in the United States. The BRNI study is the first to achieve fundamental molecular understanding of how synapses are lost in Alzheimer's Disease before the plaques and tangles develop. At the same time, it is the first study to ...

Projections of cancer care costs in the US: 2010-2020

2011-01-13

The estimated total cost of cancer care in the United States in 2020 is expected to be $158 billion assuming the most recent observed patterns of incidence, survival, and cost remain the same. This represents a 27% increase from 2010 due only to the projected aging and growth of the US population, according to a study published online January 12th in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, the authors also note the cost of cancer care could rise even more quickly under some reasonable assumptions such as a 2% annual increase in costs of the initial and final ...

GUMC researcher says tinnitus is much more than a 'hearing problem'

2011-01-13

Washington, DC – Tinnitus appears to be produced by an unfortunate confluence of structural and functional changes in the brain, say neuroscientists at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). The phantom ringing sounds heard by about 40 million people in the U.S. today are caused by brains that try, but fail to protect their human hosts against overwhelming auditory stimuli, the researchers say in the January 13th issue of Neuron. They add that the same process may be responsible for chronic pain and other perceptual disorders. The researchers say that the absence ...

Cancer costs projected to reach at least $158 billion in 2020

2011-01-13

Based on growth and aging of the U.S. population, medical expenditures for cancer in the year 2020 are projected to reach at least $158 billion (in 2010 dollars) – an increase of 27 percent over 2010, according to a National Institutes of Health analysis. If newly developed tools for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up continue to be more expensive, medical expenditures for cancer could reach as high as $207 billion, said the researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH. The analysis appears online, Jan. 12, 2011, in the Journal of the National ...

New measure trumps HDL levels in protecting against heart disease

2011-01-13

(PHILADELPHIA) –The discovery that high levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good cholesterol") is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease has fostered intensive research to modify HDL levels for therapeutic gain. However, recent findings have called into question the notion that pharmacologic increases in HDL cholesterol levels are necessarily beneficial to patients. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine shows that a different metric, a measure of HDL function called cholesterol efflux ...
