Who controls the account where my funds are held while I await settlement? Follow

You do. Your Dedicated Account is set up in your name, and the money in the account is yours. It's an FDIC-insured account that allows you to keep your debt settlement funds separate from your other accounts. Funding this account according to your program deposit schedule is absolutely critical to your success. Once we negotiate a settlement, we'll get your authorization and payments to the creditor will be made from this account.
