Choosing a credit counseling service.
When your debt has become overwhelming and is affecting your credit, finding a credit counseling service may be a wise decision.
A credit counseling service provides financial counseling services to help you identify and adopt strategies for paying off your debt. Credit counselors can help you find resources and suggest courses of action to take to reduce your debt and manage money more effectively.
Choosing a credit counseling service can be difficult, as there are a great many options available. If you’re carrying high balances on your credit cards or have a significant amount of loans, you probably get frequent offers from companies that want to help you with debt consolidation or credit debt relief. That’s because helping consumers consolidate or reduce debt can be very profitable for some companies.
That’s why, when choosing a credit counseling service, it’s important to look for a nonprofit debt counseling agency, and one that has been in business for at least seven years. You also want to work with a company that is licensed and/or certified in your state, and that charges no minimum fees for their credit counseling service.
For many consumers today, American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) is a trusted source for financial services and credit card debt counseling.
