CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made as of March 1, 2006 between Asta Funding, Inc. (the      
"Company") and Herman Badillo, Esq., a non-independent director of the Company  
(the "Consultant"). The Consultant has extensive experience regarding matters   
related to the Company's business, and the Company seeks to benefit from the    
Consultant's expertise by retaining the Consultant. The Consultant wishes to    
perform consulting services for the Company. Accordingly, the Company and the   
Consultant agree as follows:                                                    

1. Services                                                               

a. The Consultant will provide advice and consulting services to the
     Company as requested with respect to various matters related to the
Company's business.                                           

     b. The Consultant is an independent contractor and not an employee of the
      Company, and the relationship between the Company and the Consultant
shall not be deemed a partnership or joint venture.           

2. Compensation                                                           

As full consideration for the consulting services provided by the   
    Consultant, the Company shall pay to the Consultant the sum of $5,000.00
    per month commencing March 1, 2006 with an initial payment of $15,000.00
upon execution of the agreement.                                    

3. Competition                                                            

      The Consultant represents to the Company that the Consultant does not have
     any agreement to provide consulting services to any other party, firm, or
    company on matters relating to the scope of this Agreement, and will not
enter into any such agreement during the term of this Agreement.    

4. Confidentiality                                                        

a. The Company may, from time to time, in connection with work      
   contemplated under this Agreement, disclose to Consultant certain
       confidential or proprietary information ("Confidential Information").
       Consultant agrees to use reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure
        of any such Confidential Information to third parties. This obligation
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.              

  b. Confidential Information subject to paragraph 4(a) does not include
  information that (i) is or later becomes available to the public
         through no breach of this Agreement by the Consultant; (ii) is obtained
 by the Consultant from a third party who had the legal right to
     disclose the information to the Consultant; (iii) is already in the
 possession of the Consultant on the date this Agreement becomes
   effective; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by law, government
regulation, or court order.                                   

5. Defense and Indemnification                                            

      Consultant agrees to defend the Company against, and to indemnify and hold
   the Company harmless from, any claims or suits by a third party against
   the Company or any liabilities or judgments based thereon, arising from
    the Consultant's acts or omissions in the performance of this Agreement.

  a. This Agreement shall be for a term of twelve (12) months, renewable

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective the date
