Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services is proud of the assistance we offer to clients. We have been helping organizations for the last 30 years to provide group legal plan benefits all employees can enjoy. We cannot, however, rest on our laurels. Even though we provide superior service in drafting wills or preparing small claims court cases, Countrywide knows it cannot directly provide support for all parts of the law.

Law Has Many Avenues

It would be impossible to do that. The law is a highly sophisticated and very complex matter. There are subsections such as the Internet and Marine law that are a little bit off the beaten track. The Countrywide attorneys are proficient in many areas, but the specialized law is the domain of certain attorneys. It does not mean that a group legal plan member cannot have access to this unique advice. Countrywide is here to help in those situations. Continue reading

                                                         Countrywide is Proud of the Assistance We Give

stockfresh_1526511_customer-service-feedback_sizeS-300x164

An exceptional group legal plan is defined by the service it provides. There are certain options a client should expect within the plan document, but pre-paid legal services has to go the distance. There should be an ability to communicate one-on-one, and have all questions answered. Anything less is unacceptable. It’s sad, but some of the plan vendors don’t seem to care about the service. They believe that web-based assistance is more important than direct contact. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services does not subscribe to this low-quality. We know what people really want when it comes to good service.

The Personal Touch Matters

Our clients get the very best. It starts with attorneys who understand the law thoroughly. We screen candidates very carefully to make sure that we are getting high-quality legal professionals. We also look at personal skills. No Countrywide group legal plan member should feel embarrassed. The face-to-face meetings are a fundamental part of Countrywide service. We have a nationwide network of attorneys and setting up a conference with the Countrywide lawyer is not that difficult. We realize that people sometimes forget to ask questions on certain points. We allow an unlimited number of telephone calls to the Countrywide lawyer in given situations to cover this. We encourage people to develop a relationship with the attorney that produces positive results. Continue reading

Financial anxiety affects many people. Millennials are worried about their bills, and the same applies to baby boomers.

These, in addition to mortgages and student loan obligations, can adversely affect financial wellness.

Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has helped many people get out of the financial crisis through our financial wellness program. We understand that some people have situations that have gone out of control and need special help. Our debt management plan means to do that. Continue reading

A MetLife study on employee benefits trends discovered millennials are very risk adverse when it comes to finances. They are frightened about the possible loss of income and health costs is something they dread. Of course, for many of them college debt obligations cause nightmares. The high anxiety these young people experience about finances make financial wellness benefits very important.

Sign of the Times

The millennial generation grew up in a period of severe financial distress. The Great Recession of 2008 played a role, but the cost of college tuition increased the worry these recent graduates have. They have an almost instinctive anxiety that their budgets will not cover all their expenses. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has a great deal of empathy for this population. We have a financial wellness plan to help them sort out their financial issues to arrive at a sensible strategy. Continue reading

Plastic Cards Do Not Need to Rule Your Life

Folks often live by credit, and that plastic will destroy financial wellness. The tragedy happens when people forget the small print credit card companies are so famous for writing. Within the agreement for a credit card are stipulations for penalties and interest rates. They can be very sobering.

Make no mistake about it; financial institutions make a lot of money from credit card interest. Double-digit interest charges are standard, and this is at a time when the prime rate is incredibly low. The loss of financial wellness may not be due to the purchase but of the interest charged on the credit balance. People look for ways to get out from underneath the load but don’t always understand what to do. Continue reading

Hospital surgery is not something to be terrified about. Advances in technology, anesthesia, and necessary medical procedures make a trip to the hospital much safer than many years ago. However, there is still the chance something could go wrong. Failure to prepare can make it even worse.

A reaction to anesthesia or a certain procedure could result in an individual becoming comatose That’s a dangerous situation if there are no instructions on what to do. A group legal plan that allows for medical powers of attorney is essential. Continue reading

Dealing with Agencies More Efficiently20111126_FNP001_0-300x168

Paper appears to define bureaucracy. There is so much for all types of activities and privileges. A person needs a license for fishing but also for various other things such as a driver’s license or a hunting license. You may need a building permit to put an addition onto your house or to build a new home, and they’re all kinds of applications for various things a person wants to do. All the paperwork can be both confusing and frustrating. Government clerks adhere to certain regulations. Anyone who misses a deadline or provides the wrong data can expect to go back to square one.

These kinds of tidbits of advice make for a less stressful meeting with that bureaucrat. Continue reading

Americans still think of owning a house as a big part of the American dream. They want to be able to have the same type of shelter their parents enjoyed, but many people think that owning a home is not realistic. The price of housing is high, and folks have other debts.

Our financial wellness program is intended to assist people in making the decision to buy a house.

Knowing All the Options

Countrywide has a nationwide network of certified housing counselors who deal with financial wellness.
