“I am very pleased to be joining Debt Resolve’s Board of Directors,” Mr. DeAngelis said. “Having consulted for the Company over the past few years, I am very excited about its new business strategy focused on building companies in the Healthcare Receivables and Federal Student Loan industries, both among the fastest growing segments of the debt industry. I look forward to working with the other Board members to continue developing appropriate financial strategies for the Company, assisting in governance, and maximizing the resources needed to grow.”

“The Board of Directors of Debt Resolve is extremely pleased that Dino DeAngelis has joined the Board,” said William M.

Mr. DeAngelis is replacing Gary T. Martin who is retiring from the Board after five years of unwavering support and service to the Company.  Chairman Mooney stated “the recent improvement in the Company’s performance was largely due to Mr. Martin’s strategic influence on Debt Resolve.
