Peregrin Services(TM) Announces Multiple Service Options for Its CARD Act Credit Counseling Line

Peregrin Services(TM) announces the release of its CARD Act compliant toll-free line enabling consumers to receive information about accessing credit counseling services. Peregrin’s fully automated and customizable solution, compliant with the proposed rules of the Credit CARD Act, can be easily implemented by any creditor.

“As creditors spoke to us about their needs, it became clear that a single platform would not adequately service everyone.   Peregrin has responded to the market by creating multiple service solutions to satisfy the needs of every creditor, large and small.” says Mike Morency, President and CEO of Peregrin Services. Rules proposed by the Federal Reserve Board require creditors to provide specific information to borrowers about accessing credit counseling services via a toll-free phone number published on their credit card statements.

Peregrin’s platform offers creditors many choices in implementing their CARD Act solution.  In all applications Peregrin assures full time availability through multiple site redundancy.  Services will be offered in a variety of ways starting with a Peregrin hosted environment that will incur a low cost per minute charge and small monthly service fees, to more enhanced options that will allow creditors to lease ports and either use Peregrin resources to administer the calls or integrate them into their own in-house systems.  For creditors, the leasing and hosting options will ensure cost certainty and furthermore makes certain that callers can always connect.

Peregrin urges creditors to have a solution in place by January 15 to ensure compliance on February 22.
