WHO WE SERVE

No matter who you are, our counselors will provide options based on your individual situation and help you actively participate in your financial future. All you need to do to get started is schedule an appointment for a free consultation.

Through our program, you can work with a credit counselor to:

Develop a household budget.
Access and understand your credit report.
Eliminate credit debt through a personalized Debt Management Plan. In some cases, creditors will reduce interest, minimum payments, or fees once you are enrolled in this plan.
Attend financial literacy classes in the community.
Set financial goals for the future and a plan to achieve those goals.
Complete required bankruptcy credit counseling and education certification.

These programs are available to individuals, groups, churches, employers, and organizations. CCCS can also provide classes tailored to meet the specific needs of a group.

If you wish to participate in a Debt Management Plan (DMP), your income must be able to cover your basic budget expenses and have enough disposable income to meet the individual creditor required payments while on the DMP.
