Business Details

Stephen Leifer was born in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from S.J. Tilden High School and served in the armed forces in Viet-Nam. Upon his return to the USA, Steve went back to college getting his B.B.A. from Baruch College of the City of New York.

​

He moved his family to Florida in 1992. His wife of 46 years, Ellen, is a retired guidance counselor in the Palm Beach County School System. While still in New York, Ellen worked as the New York Lab Director for the Johnson O’Connor Research Foundation, a non-profit foundation founded in 1922, that tests for an individual’s aptitudes. She now does aptitude testing here in South Florida as well as sitting on the foundation’s board of directors.

Steve spent the better part of 30 years in different areas of the textile industry and like thousands of other Americans, was displaced when many industries left our shores during the globalization of the world’s economy. Steve chased his industry around the globe, literally, building up his frequent flyer miles. However, that was not the goal and he soon found the chase unproductive. The need to continue to provide for his family and to maintain a lifestyle that he had created for them, was more than a challenge. The result was devastating to his credit profile. 

​

This predicament created an awareness of the importance of good credit as well as the problems created by the burden of debt. A stint working in the Credit Counseling business twenty years ago, opened his eyes to remedies for his situation. Credit restoration was the vehicle and Steve has been helping consumers ever since, to correct problems relating to consumer debt, and credit reporting. 

​

Steve is CEO of New You Financial Services. He belongs to the Credit Repair Boot Camp Hall of Fame. He regularly attends credit education conclaves to insure that his clients have the best representation in their attempt to better their credit profiles as well as their quality of life. He is a member of the Credit Consultant’s Association, a  Member of NACSO, The National Association of Credit Services Organizations, as well as an Associate Member of the Florida Association of Mortgage Professionals.
