Not Legal Advice, with Juris

DebtSettle: https://debtsettle.co  DebtSettle on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/debtsettle-by-juris Hey everyone. Like I said, excited to announce DebtSettle. Debt collection harassment is a huge problem in the United States. Last year 40 million people said they were contacted about a debt they didn't owe. And 1 in 3 people have a debt "in collection," meaning someone other than the original issuer is trying to collect. In this case there are very specific laws about how those collectors are allowed to behave.  Our letter triggers these laws, and our delivery tracking provides you with the evidence trail you'll need to take further action if collectors continue to break them. Here's great piece by Last Week Tonight on the Debt Buyer/Collection Harassment problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxUAntt1z2c --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jurisproject/support

Hey Everyone! -- This week might be a bit of a "rerun" to anyone who has been following the podcast since this feed went live. But to the rest of you, it's fresh content. This chat is a bit old now, we recorded it almost a year ago. But, all of the main points still hold up, which is why it's going back in the feed. This week's chat is with Aari Lotfipour, CEO of Jalapeno Inventive. Jalapeno is a blockchain education company that builds experiences to make the learning of new cryptocurrency dynamics fun and easy. Aari is awesome, and it's a great chat on many levels and in many rabbit holes. We talk about gamification, cryto adoption, Aari's history in crypto and all kinds of other weird stuff. Enjoy!
