Speak with a certified housing counselor to review your situation, questions, and next steps.
Debt relief includes strategies that may help you manage or reduce the burden of unsecured debt, such as budgeting, repayment plans, debt management plans, consolidation, or other available options. During counseling, a certified counselor will review your situation with you, explain your options, and help you create a practical next step based on your budget and goals.
The initial counseling session is free. Credit counseling looks broadly at your credit, budget and overall financial health, while debt counseling places greater emphasis on your debt obligations and repayment options. If a Debt Management Plan is recommended and you choose to enroll, applicable program fees will be fully explained before enrollment.
Bring your income, monthly expenses, and credit card balances so we can create a personalized action plan together.
That's okay! You can schedule a time that fits your day or reach out later when you're ready to take the first step.
A nonprofit credit counseling agency can help you understand your debt relief options without pressure to choose a specific solution. At Credit.org, a certified financial counselor will review your budget, debts, credit, and financial goals, explain available repayment and debt relief strategies, and help you create a personalized action plan, including a Debt Management Plan when appropriate.
The counseling session itself has no impact on your credit. The actions you take afterward, like enrolling in a DMP or paying off debts, can have varying effects.
