I’m Eric Pemper, Managing Member at CuraDebt, where I help consumers understand (and compare) real-world options for getting out of high-interest debt and resolving tax debt. I specialize in debt settlement fundamentals, creditor negotiation dynamics, IRS/State tax resolution pathways, and the practical “what actually works” steps people can take to reduce monthly pressure and regain financial stability. I’m frequently focused on the details that matter to readers: eligibility basics, common mistakes, hidden fees to watch for, how to vet companies, how timelines and outcomes really vary, and how credit is typically affected short-term vs. long-term. I also bring a compliance-first lens (advertising/telemarketing rules, disclosures, and consumer protection), so quotes stay accurate and editorial-safe. I’m happy to provide concise, actionable comments, quick myth-busting, and clear explanations for everyday readers—especially around credit cards, personal loans, budgeting under stress, debt relief alternatives, and tax payment/settlement options.

I am an Institutional Debt Market Architect with more than 17 years of experience designing the valuation, liquidity, and recovery protocols that banks, credit unions, fintech lenders, and private credit funds rely on to make high-stakes decisions. I’ve advised on, analyzed, or helped broker over $100 billion in performing and non-performing receivables across consumer, commercial, auto, BNPL, mortgage, and specialty finance asset classes. My work sits at the intersection of portfolio valuation, lending risk, distressed-asset strategy, and AI-driven recovery intelligence. I help institutions understand the true condition of their receivables, uncover hidden risk, and translate complex credit dynamics into clear, actionable decisions. When lenders need to determine whether to hold, recover, restructure, or sell an asset, I’m the person they call. As Director of Portfolio Liquidity & Asset Disposition at Fitzgerald Advisors, I architect and execute loan-sale strategies, oversee due diligence, and structure NPL and charged-off debt transactions that maximize proceeds while maintaining regulatory integrity. I also build the technology that powers modern receivables strategy. I created Debt Catalyst, an AI-driven valuation and liquidation-curve engine used by professional debt buyers and investors. I developed Bank Watch Pro, a real-time intelligence platform that interprets FDIC and NCUA call-report data to identify institutional credit risk, NPL trends, charge-off exposure, and early-warning indicators. Across my ventures, I focus on one mission: turning distressed receivables, delinquency, and charge-offs into liquidity, clarity, and competitive advantage for financial institutions. I provide expert commentary on: Distressed portfolio valuation & credit-risk analysis NPL and charged-off debt sales Fintech lending trends & BNPL credit performance Bank & credit union financial health (FDIC/NCUA analytics) AI in collections, segmentation, and liquidation modeling Regulatory and compliance implications in debt markets I don’t follow the debt markets — I architect them. And I use that experience to help lenders, investors, and agencies make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.

Yaear Weintroub, an Associate Attorney at Consumer Attorneys, devotes his practice to safeguarding consumers from credit-reporting errors, unlawful debt-collection tactics, and other violations proscribed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. His current work builds on experience gained at a consumer-protection practice, where he handled FCRA cases and a broad docket of related matters, and on the litigation skills he first developed as a full-time Pro Bono Scholar at Disability Rights New York. Consumer-protection law appeals to him because it offers a direct way to confront businesses that cut corners or defraud ordinary people. Restoring a client’s good name - or the financial opportunities they lost when a report or creditor got it wrong - brings him genuine professional satisfaction. True to that mission, he keeps an open line of communication with every client, answers questions promptly, and explains each procedural step so that no one is left guessing how a case is unfolding. He earned his J.D. from Hofstra Law School on a full scholarship and was selected for the Pro Bono Scholars Program, which allowed him to sit for the bar exam early and accelerate his admission to practice. Before law school he completed a B.A. in Philosophy at Brooklyn College, augmenting his analytical training with a minor in computer science. Away from the office Yaear writes music, plays several instruments, follows a wide range of sports, and spends as much time as possible with his wife and their dog.

Restoring a client’s reputation - and often their livelihood - gives him genuine professional satisfaction. To deliver the best possible client experience, he stays readily available, answers questions promptly, and keeps each client fully informed as their case unfolds. He earned his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law on a substantial scholarship and holds a B.S. in Biology from Brooklyn College, where research-heavy coursework honed the analytical mindset he brings to complex credit-report disputes. Admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey state courts and in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, he is positioned to litigate most consumer-protection claims arising in the Northeast.
