Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 4, 2010, Purpose Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Purpose Financial”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CompuCredit Holdings Corporation (the “Company”), filed a Form 10 Registration Statement and a related Information Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in connection with the Company’s previously announced consideration of a tax-free spin-off of its U.S. and U.K. micro-loan businesses into a separate publicly traded entity.

The Form 10 and Information Statement contain preliminary information regarding the business and management of Purpose Financial, as well as important details about the proposed spin-off transaction. The spin-off is expected to be a tax-free transaction. Completion of the spin-off is subject to numerous conditions, including final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the effectiveness of the Form 10.

Assuming that all the necessary approvals are obtained, the Company would mail to its shareholders the Information Statement prior to the effective date of the spin-off. The Form 10 filed by Purpose Financial is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov under the company name Purpose Financial Holdings, Inc.  The Company’s press release regarding the potential spin-off is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are present expectations and are subject to the limitations listed therein and in the Company’s other SEC reports, and actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
