What to do when you have too much debt.
Life can feel pretty tough when you are carrying too much debt. Whether you’re overwhelmed by bills and credit card balances or your loan payments are more than you can manage, having too much debt adds a great deal of stress to your life and makes it difficult to achieve your financial goals.
When you have too much debt, you’ll no doubt receive a lot of offers from companies who want to help you solve your financial troubles – for a price. From debt consolidators to debt negotiation and debt settlement to credit repair counseling companies, there are a lot of people looking to make a profit from your financial situation.
That’s why, when you are ready to stop carrying too much debt and regain control of your finances, it’s important to choose a non profit consumer credit counseling agency like ACCC.
Free credit counseling for people with too much debt.
ACCC, or American Consumer Credit Counseling, is a nonprofit credit counseling organization dedicated to helping people who are living with too much debt. We offer free credit counseling and low-cost debt management services, with fees that may be waived for individuals who can’t afford it. Our highly trained debt counselors are available by phone, and in person to help you get control of your finances and make a plan to stop carrying too much debt.
At your first credit counseling session, we’ll help you to analyze your finances and look at all the options available to you for paying off your debt. These may include social service referrals and, depending on your financial situation, debt management counseling.
Debt management is often a good option for people with too much debt. Rather than consolidating debts with a new loan (which is not always a good idea for people with too much debt or a poor credit rating), a debt management program lets you consolidate payments. You’ll also get the help you need to make a plan for paying down your debt, and the support you need to stick to it.
