This summer, Unifund attorneys Trudy Weiss Craig, General Counsel, and Susan Appel, Legal Counsel, along with Unifund paralegal, Heather Richardson, hosted a series of webinars with LIFT consumers. Panel discussions featured videos from Unifund’s Learn and Earn Program, in which Unifund consumers who complete educational sessions earn credit toward their debts.  Topics of discussion included Budgeting and Financial Stress, Debt Reduction and Debt Snowball, Credit and Identity Theft, and Buying versus Renting and Car Buying.  The women also shared resources which LIFT members can consult as they seek to improve their financial situation.

“We were honored to spend time assisting LIFT members on their journey for financial well-being, and to interact with consumers in their efforts to improve their economic situation,” said Trudy Weiss Craig.  “The sessions were followed with well-thought out questions and discussions, and we enjoyed the positive exchange.  We are grateful LIFT offered us this opportunity.”
