with credit cards or loans, one
trip to the emergency room
or another unforeseen event could
throw you into a hole that seems nearly
impossible to get out. That’s where
Century Support Services can step
in and help you regain your fi nancial
independence.

on credit cards,” said Dan Frazier, CEO.
“They know that money is still owed and
try to manage it on their own. But, many
times, they’ll discover that they can’t and
really need some debt relief support. At
that point, they turn to the marketplace
to fi nd help—where they discover
options such as consolidation loans,
credit counseling, bankruptcy and debt
settlement.” This is when they often turn
to debt settlement with Century Support
Services.
“Most of our business is unsecured
debt, such as credit cards,” Frazier
explained. “When we enroll a client in the
program, we identify their ability to pay
monthly and based upon that amount,
we estimate a program length and start a
plan to build up funds over time. We work
with creditors to negotiate a settlement
and can typically settle approximately 40
to 60 percent of the outstanding balance.
Once the client agrees to the settlement, it
is paid from their reserve account.”
And while Century Support Services
receives clients through multiple channels,
Frazier said current and past client
referrals are the best. “We receive over 200
clients from referrals each month because
our clients see how well their program is
working for them and they want to share
the benefi ts with others.”

“We’ve been in business for 15 years
and we’ve seen signifi cant growth in the
past four years,” Frazier noted. “We’ve
gone from having 7,000 clients to more
than 45,000 clients, and our staff has
grown with those numbers to continue to
provide an excellent client experience. We
have over 280 employees currently and
expect to end the year around 300. We plan
to grow that number to 350 employees in
2019.”
Century has been named to the Inc
5000 list for the past two years, earning
a coveted spot on the Inc 500 in 2018,
and is ranked the 2nd fastest growing
company in Pittsburgh. “Our company’s
mission and vision, combined with our
dedicated teammates and engaged clients,
has allowed us to experience amazing and
steady growth year after year. The eff ort our
team puts in each and every day, and the
services and experiences we provide, are
truly in demand and valued by our clients,”
Frazier said.
He added that Century’s employee
development programs and dedication
to fi nding hardworking, empathetic and
compassionate employees has earned the
company numerous local and national
workplace satisfaction awards. “Everything
we do begins with a focus on people. We
care about our employees and our clients
and really show it. Through our career
pathing program, employees can choose to
stay in a skill-based track and work through
