NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on February 8, 2016, the Office of Financial Regulation has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Greater Atlanta, Inc. dba ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions on November 19, 2015. The following is a summary of the agency’s disposition of the petition:

The petition sought a declaratory statement from the Office on whether Petitioner’s business activities (of assisting consumers with Debt Management Plans (DMP), where consumers enter into DMP agreements with Petitioner, and through an ancillary function funds are disbursed to Creditors) fall within Florida’s money transmitting licensing statute Chapter 560, Florida Statutes. 02/08/2016 - Final Order issued (Denying Petition for Declaratory Statement) on the grounds that Petitioner currently operates in Florida and currently performs said activities, thus a declaratory statement is not available because Petitioner is seeking approval of acts which have already occurred or are ongoing.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Office of Financial Regulation, P.O. Box 8050, Tallahassee, Florida 32314-8050, [phone].
