This innovative initiative aims to address the urgent financial needs of military veterans across the country by offering targeted relief to 50 veterans each week throughout the entire 2025 NASCAR season. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with ForgiveCo. We are building this team to fulfill our dreams, but also being able to help the men and women who have served our country really makes it special for everyone. Debt is a significant burden for our veterans, often leading to severe challenges in their lives. Team AmeriVet is committed to changing this reality and delivering the support these heroes deserve,” said Rebecca Auchmoody , Co-Owner of Team AmeriVet. Backed by ForgiveCo, a pioneering force in cause marketing partnerships, the initiative underscores Team AmeriVet’s unwavering dedication to veterans and their families by addressing one of the most pressing issues within the veteran community: financial hardship. With debt affecting so many veterans, Team AmeriVet is stepping in to make a meaningful impact. Erik Banks Antico, Chief Revenue Officer at ForgiveCo, noted, “When veterans receive a letter in the mail saying, ‘Your debt has been relieved thanks to Team AmeriVet and future brand partners, it creates a powerful, shareable impact on their perception of that brand. This is exactly what companies strive for—delivering something real and meaningful to drive brand consideration.” The "50 Vets a Week" program will relieve various types of debt, including mortgages, medical bills, utilities, credit card balances, student loans, auto loans, telecommunications expenses, payday, high-interest, and marketplace loans, tax liens, and fines. With the help of their brand partners, Team AmeriVet will eliminate the debt of 50 veterans each week during the upcoming NASCAR season.

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 $𝟏𝟎 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 As part of its mission of Financial Power to All™, Experian is relieving $10 million of consumer debt for more than 5,000 Hispanics nationwide. This initiative is happening as high numbers of Hispanics lack access to bank accounts and credit, and report feeling the least financial security compared to other populations. To provide individuals with a boost, Experian has joined forces with ForgiveCo, a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), to administer the acquisition and cancellation of qualifying consumer debt for the selected beneficiaries. The recipients will also receive a one-year premium Experian membership for free that offers access to their Experian credit report in English and Spanish, FICO® Score, bilingual educational content, and financial resources including an insurance comparison shopping service, help with cancelling subscriptions and possibly lowering their monthly bills, and credit card options tailored to their financial profile. Free and premium Experian memberships are available to consumers interested in enrolling at www.experian.com. Those who do not have an Experian credit file established due to no or limited credit history will be able to enter the credit system by participating in Experian Go, a game-changing free program that allows individuals to directly create an Experian credit report and populate it with payment history for eligible bills, such as rent and utilities, which can potentially generate their first FICO® Score. “Our research has revealed that some factors impacting Hispanics’ financial health are barriers to accessing credit, lack of credit history, or limited financial education,” said Jeff Softley, Group President, Experian Consumer Services. “We hope this initiative will help these families have a better chance at financial security and spread the word in the community that there are free resources from Experian available that they can utilize to reach their financial goals.”
