FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., June 29, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- GreenPath Debt Solutions, a nationwide non-profit financial organization, providing consumers with financial education in housing, debt management and bankruptcy concerns, recently announced that it will provide both a free and a premium credit-counseling phone service to help community banks meet regulations set by the 2010 Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure (CARD) Act.

"GreenPath has significant relationships with community banks and state banking associations across the country.  We are excited to work with our business partners to address the recent need for an affordable CARD Act compliant line that community banks can utilize," said Thomas Butler, Director of Finance for GreenPath Debt Solutions.
