How to Find Good Local Credit Counseling
eHow:
- Interview several agencies to choose a qualified credit-counseling service.
- Ask each agency if it is a nonprofit organization, what services it offers and how much the services will cost you.
- Find out if its counselors are certified and if the agency services are confidential.
- Inquire as to how soon a counselor can take your case.
- Request that the agency send you information about its organization and services. Any reputable credit-counseling agency should send you free information. If not, consider this a red flag and go elsewhere for help.
- Check with the attorney general's office or a local consumer-protection agency to find out if consumers have filed complaints about the provider you are considering.
