Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 29, 2006

CreditLearningCenter.com., a consumer website which helps consumers understand and manage personal credit, credit reporting, credit scoring, and additional credit, debt, and collection-related matters, introduced the CreditLearningCenter.com Help Center today. The CLC Help Center is a free resource which enables consumers to ask CreditLearningCenter.com's editorial staff specific credit and debt-related questions, with individual responses provided to consumers.

Helping People Cope with Credit and Debt Issues

"CreditLearningCenter.com understands that the subject of credit and debt can be confusing and frustrating. Often it's difficult for consumers to get the straight facts necessary to help them understand what their options are. The CLC Help Center is designed to help consumers get the information they need," said Walter Burch, Editor-In-Chief. "People experiencing credit and debt-related problems often feel overwhelmed and alone. We want people to know that someone out there cares about their situation and is willing to help," added Burch.

Consumer Laws Related to Credit, Debt, and Collections

The CLC Help Center can respond to questions from consumers on a variety of topics including personal credit and credit reports, debt, credit card debt, credit counseling, collection practices, and more. The Help Center also educates consumers on the latest state and federal statutes related to credit and debt. Particularly, Burch said consumers who are being pursued by collection agencies should understand the rights they have under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. "Section 809 of the FDCPA provides consumers with significant protections, and debt collectors, upon a consumer's request, are required by law to cease collection practices unless a debt can be validated," said Burch.
