Having served the community since the mid-1960's we have developed a long-term, stable track record and our financial experts (from all regions--Los Angeles, Sacramento, Stockton and Fresno) are frequently called upon by members of the media to provide consumer tips, advice, warnings and information about financial trends. The media is invaluable to us in helping us accomplish our mission of providing the community with personal finance education.

A sampling of our areas of expertise include topics such as: reverse mortgages, credit card debt, credit card fees, bankruptcy, identity theft (prevention and resolution), budgeting, saving, credit reports, credit scores, dealing with collection agencies, home equity loans, electronic bill paying, college students and debt, mortgage default, payday loans, predatory lending; actually the list is endless!

We offer media experts in English, Spanish or Hmong (in the Fresno area only). If you would like to speak with one of our spokespersons for an article, story, or program, please call (800) 750-2227 x526 for Jennifer Root, Sr. Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations, who will provide or coordinate the interview. Please make sure to leave your area code since we serve numerous regions and, otherwise, may not be able to return your call. You may also reach Jennifer at jroot@bydesignsolutions.org. If she is not available, please contact Martha at (800) 750-2227 X524.
