Glendale, CA residents know that the combination of rising rents, healthcare costs, and daily living expenses can make keeping up with credit card payments a constant struggle. American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) has been helping people since 1991 with nonprofit credit counseling services and affordable Debt Management Plans (DMPs) that provide structure, relief, and a path toward becoming debt-free.
According to LendingTree, the average credit card debt in California reached $9,096 in Q1 2025, a 10% jump from the prior year. According to WalletHub study, the average household credit card debt is over $18K, twice as much as the state’s average. For many families in Glendale, a city where proximity to Los Angeles means higher-than-average living costs, interest charges add up quickly, making repayment more difficult without support.
