James Brakke Joins Debt Resolve Board of Directors

Mr. Brakke is currently a director and executive vice president of Dealer Protection Group, a company that provides insurance services to the automotive industry. He is the former president of Brakke-Schafnitz Insurance Brokers, a firm he co-founded in 1971. The commercial insurance brokerage and consulting firm manages in excess of $180 million of insurance premiums with both domestic and international insurers.

He has also served as a director of Commercial Capital BanCorp from February 2001 until October 2006 and as a director of Commercial Capital Bank from January 2000 until October 2006. Mr. Brakke was a founding director of Pacific National Bank until its sale to Western Bancorp in 1998.

"I think that Debt Resolve has come up with a unique and interesting way for debtors and creditors to come to a resolution," stated Mr. Brakke. "The ability for consumers to negotiate their outstanding debt via an online bidding system provides a comfortable and non-threatening way to deal with their obligations from home or office at any time of the day or night. At the same time, Debt Resolve lets lenders reach out to their customers via the web and offer a solution that they can't find anywhere else."

Mr. Brakke has held numerous director positions for both non-profit and for-profit organizations. He is a past president of the professional insurance fraternity, Gamma Iota Sigma, and a former member of the board of advisors for Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business. He is a director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. In addition, he sits on the board of directors for Cal Spas and Maury Microwave Corporation. His depth of knowledge and experience as well as the many relationships he has built over the years is expected to bring additional strength to the current board and management team at Debt Resolve.

"Debt Resolve is fortunate to have attracted a person with the industry experience and knowledge that Jim Brakke brings to the table," according to James Burchetta, chairman of the Company. "After meeting with him on several occasions, his grasp of the industry and the opportunity for Debt Resolve was overwhelming. As we continue to move the company forward, his presence on our board will be greatly appreciated."
