Jerry Campbell, an employee of Credits, Incorporated moved to La Grande to manage the new office. He successfully met the objectives set out for him and in February of 1977, Jerry and his wife Julie purchased the La Grande office of Credits, Incorporated and incorporated the business as Cam Credits, Inc.

Over the next 30+ years, Julie and her staff continued to provide excellent collection services for clients, utilize state of the art collection software, updating hardware and software to stay on the cutting edge of the technological advances made available.
