A new non-profit disrupts predatory lending, launches scholarship
illi News/10135269

CHICAGO - illiNews -- The consumer debt crisis currently sits at $14 trillion and rising; Debtless was founded to disrupt this system. As an organization, Debtless fundraises through a variety of different mediums to purchase debt portfolios with the most impact on the community and forgives the debt. Each individual debtor is notified when their debt has been forgiven, and Debtless will then be able to provide support for their next steps to achieve financial stability and maintain their new debt-free status.

Founded in 2019, Debtless seeks to establish a more equitable future for those most vulnerable to the predatory lending system. "When one more marginalized person becomes debtless, we as a society become more equitable." Said Fanny Fang, Board Member of Debtless.

With a focus on ending predatory lending and debt forgiveness, this is a unique non-profit that works to provide resources to those most at risk and establish healthy money patterns that prevent future debt. And now they plan to do even more. With the launch of the Angela Dorsey Bedford Scholarship, Debtless is now seeking to stop more debt before it starts. This scholarship offers tuition assistance to applicants who can demonstrate a commitment of service to their community despite hardships and societal barriers. Debtless is accepting applications for this scholarship through October 17.
