San Mateo, Calif. (PRWEB) April 16, 2013

The amount resolved represents an increase of 11.5 percent over the previous quarter. With the $137.3 million of resolved debt in the quarter, FFN surpassed $2 billion in total debt negotiated since 2002.

The company negotiated the first-quarter resolutions on 23,806 individual creditor accounts up 11.7 percent while assisting more than 18,000 clients. FFNs results equate to negotiating $1.49 million of debt each day throughout the quarter, or more than $62,183 each hour.

In addition, FFN added 68 employees at its San Mateo, Calif., headquarters and in its office in Tempe, Ariz., during the quarter.

The growth FFN is seeing confirms the companys status as the industry leader, said Andrew Housser, co-founder and CEO of FFN. FFN continues to add staff who can effectively help clients work their way out of debt, while fully adhering to the Federal Trade Commission Advance Fee Ban. The ban went into effect in 2010.
