Q. What made you decide to change your name?Q. What made you decide to change your name?
We wanted a name that would differentiate us from the multitude of "look-alikes" out there that do not provide our kind of quality education. We wanted a name that consumers could identify with, and we wanted to reflect our own separated identity.
The name SPRINGBOARDŽ was ultimately selected after a very intensive search because it is unique and reflects the concept of moving from one place to another with an upward motion, launching consumers into a better future.
Q. Why did you change your name?
As a non-profit consumer credit management source, our agency selected the new name to represent the concept of hope and empowerment to consumers with debt problems, and because the phrase "Consumer Credit Counseling Service" has become generic.
Q. Will you change any of your other company names?
SPRINGBOARD's corporate renaming campaign includes all of its Southern California subsidiaries, which formerly operated as Credit Counselors of California in San Diego County and Money Management International in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
