"Valcor kept us out of court and negotiated the deal down by $130,000," said the pharmacist. "Our payments went from $5,600 a month to about $900 a month. We aren't out of the woods yet, but we're OK." Valcor also negotiated new terms with the drug wholesaler who had lent the pharmacist some of the cash to buy the pharmacy. The wholesaler agreed to take 20 percent of the pharmacy's stock and forgave part of the debt. "Without the wholesaler's help, we would have been underwater [sic]", said the pharmacist. He said he spent about $50,000 on Valcor's fee, but it was worth it to save his business.

"Mediation is a much better alternative than bankruptcy," said John Karpac, a CPA and Valcor trained mediator in Langhorne, PA. "Creditors are usually able to get more than they would in a bankruptcy situation." Karpac said one of his most rewarding cases involved a couple whose office manager had embezzled $100,000 a year for 10 straight years. When he was finally caught and indicted, their car dealership was $400,000 in debt. Karpac worked with creditors to reduce the debt by $100,000 and found them a new source of financing. "Their business is their life," he said.
