Resources for Credit Counseling, Debt Counseling, and Financial Planning

Managing finances can be very complicated, frustrating, and highly emotional for some people. For others it is simple and easy. Credit counseling can be an invaluable tool to help ease the burden of your debt and get you back on track, or it can simply confirm that you need to stay the course.

Regardless of your situation, seeing a certified credit counselor or financial planner has benefits. Credit counselors can help you take stock of your current situation and help you map out a plan to achieve your financial dreams.

We highly encourage all consumers to see a credit counselor that has been certified by the Department of Justice. These counselors have been screened by the government to ensure that they have your best interests at heart.

In this section – in addition to finding a certified credit counselor in your area – you will also find a checklist of questions to ask when initially meeting with a counselor as well as guidelines for selecting the counselor that is right for you.
