The True Cost of Consumer Credit Counseling:

Before working with a consumer credit counseling agency, it’s important to research the true cost of their services to ensure you’re making an informed decision. Here are some factors to consider when evaluating potential agencies:

  • What are the fees? Are there any setup fees or monthly fees? Be sure to get a specific price quote from the counselor.
  • Most agencies are subject to state law and can charge no more than the maximum allowed within your state. Make sure you ask the counselor about the specific regulations for your state.
  • If you are unable to afford the agency’s fees, the agency should be willing to waive the fees if you can’t afford them.
  • Be sure the agency is charging you reasonable fees, which can vary by State.
  • If the agency asks for a voluntary contribution, you may want to consider another agency. There is no such thing as a voluntary contribution.
  • Does the agency charge for educational programs and ongoing education? Be sure the agency is willing to provide you with educational materials and resources to help you learn how to manage your finances. The agency should also be able to provide you with ongoing counseling and education at no charge.

By considering these factors and taking the time to research potential agencies, you can find a credit counseling service that fits your budget and helps you achieve your financial goals.
