Provides a judgment-free, expert analysis of your financial situation
Credit counseling is a free or low-cost service that offers a complete review of your financial health. During your session, a certified counselor will evaluate your income, expenses, debts, and goals. The goal is to give you a full picture of your situation and recommend the best course of action based on your unique needs.
Unlike sales-driven services or quick-fix solutions, credit counseling is educational and nonjudgmental. You’ll receive honest advice, learn how to budget effectively, and discover which debt relief strategies—such as a debt management program—might be right for you.
This process empowers you to make informed financial decisions and take back control of your money, one step at a time.
