Nonprofit Debt Management Credit Counseling Providing Low Cost Student Loan Help












Lighthouse Point, FL (PRWEB) July 24, 2014

Debt Management Credit Counseling Corp. http://www.dmcconline.org, a nonprofit credit counseling organization (DMCC), announced today that it is providing free and low cost services to help federal student loan borrowers identify and implement affordable repayment options. The U.S. Department of Education offers various repayment options to borrowers who are struggling to repay their student loans. The options available, and the corresponding repayment terms, depend on many economic factors. DMCC provides borrowers free counseling and education to help identify the options that may be available to them. Low cost services may be requested to help borrowers implement their best option.

DMCC’s online calculator, which estimates the monthly payments under various federal repayment options, is the first step for borrowers seeking assistance. Using the calculator, borrowers can easily identify the option that may be best fit their budget. Taking a few minutes to fix what can become a 25 year problem is especially important to those borrowers whose student loans are in default. DMCC also provides links to information about each option’s requirements, costs and consequences. “One of the biggest obstacles that borrowers face is knowing where to start”, said Phil Heinemann, DMCC Executive Director. “Loan servicers do not always volunteer information about all the options available and more importantly, which one is best for you. The federal student loan websites and the options presented can be overwhelming. Our goal is to educate borrowers on their repayment options and help them implement the one that is in their best interest.”

DMCC cautions borrowers who are looking for help with their student loans to avoid debt relief companies charging high fees for such services. The repayment plans available for federal student loans are available at no charge through the U.S. Department of Education. However, the complexity surrounding the process, and consumer reluctance to speak with lenders, causes many borrowers to seek help from aggressively marketed debt relief companies that often charge excessive fees for their services.

DMCC provides its student loan services along with free personal budget counseling and general financial literacy education. Debt management plans to assist consumers with the repayment of credit card accounts are also available. Lower credit card payments obtainable through debt management plans, combined with budgeting, is an option that may provide sufficient relief for student loan borrowers to enable them to balance all of their monthly payments.

Borrowers looking for information about their student loan repayment options should go to the DMCC Student Loan Center or call 866-204-0520, Monday through Thursday 9:00am to 6:00pm ET or Friday 9:00am to 3:00pm ET.

“The Man Behind the Music,” the Below Stairs Productions’ Documentary on Henry Lewy, Joni Mitchell’s Engineer/Producer for 13 Albums, has Started an Indiegogo Campaign











Joni & Henry during “Hissing,” session


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2014

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/henry-lewy-the-man-behind-the-music/x/7238288

In the late 1960s, with the world enmeshed in the Vietnam War, a new sound rang out from the hills and canyons of Southern California. The folk-rock era had arrived, anchored by a new breed of singer/songwriter. In the center of this musical revolution stood an unassuming, but immensely talented, engineer/producer named Henry Lewy. However, when production started on this documentary, there was not even a Wikipedia entry for Henry!

Henry’s story begins with his escape from Nazi Germany and his courageous service for the US Army in World War II. Then it unfolds through interviews with the artists, writers and producers he worked with throughout an incredible career that spanned nearly fifty years. The film explores, in-depth, the influence of music on our times with video of the history-changing events, and the incredible legacy of the music Henry helped produce and engineer. His body of recordings endures in the pantheon of the greatest albums of the modern rock era.

Director/Producer Bob Burton first met Henry in 1978 and for the next 28 years Henry became his mentor and friend. Shortly before Henry died, he gave Bob his personal journals and photos from his incredible life’s journey. After Henry died, Burton and production partner Evan Archerd formed Below Stairs Productions to create and produce this documentary film to honor the man behind the music. Henry’s story needs to be told now, while those who worked with him are still able to contribute to this film.

An impressive list of artists have agreed to participate in this project, including Joni Mitchell, Herb Alpert, Chris Hillman (Founder of The Byrds/Flying Burrito Bros.), Stephen Bishop, and Mark Isham (Composer of A River Runs Through It, et al), Bernie Grundman, Max Bennett (LA Express), Leah Kunkel, Steve Katz and Roscoe Beck. Interviews have been completed with Henry’s sister, Eva and other family members. The production company is currently reaching out to Neil Young. Leonard Cohen, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Joan Baez, Van Morrison, Joe Cocker and many, many more. For more information go to http://www.belowstairsproductions.com
