Proud Member Of & Recognized By
One of the oldest privately held corporations in the nation dedicated exclusively to third-party educational debt recovery.
Five decades of specialized expertise in campus-based collection services for colleges and universities nationwide.
Todd, Bremer & Lawson traces its origins to July 5, 1974, when James Harold Todd and Thomas Larry Gregory founded the company as Todd, Gregory & Associates in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The Firm quickly formed a foundational partnership with Winthrop University — TB&L’s first business partner and a lasting business relationship.
Following a pivotal ownership transition in 1976, the company was renamed TODD, BREMER & LAWSON, INC., with Hal Todd, Norm Bremer, and Charles Lawson as stockholders. Hal Todd was appointed president and led the Firm’s expansion and multiple relocations within Rock Hill, reflecting steady growth and a strong commitment to the local community.
In 1989, Hal became the sole stockholder and guided TB&L through decades of transformation in the credit and collections industry. In 2022, second-generation leadership was formalized when Shannon Todd Golightly and Kelly Todd Swicord each acquired a 20% ownership interest, preserving continuity, governance stability, and long-term alignment with the needs of colleges and universities nationwide.
