How do I find a credit counselor?

Answer:

Most credit counselors offer services through local offices, online, or on the telephone. You can find a list of approved credit counselors online.

Once you've developed a list of potential counseling agencies , check them out with your State Attorney General’s office, and local consumer protection agency. Finally, ask the counselors for free information about their services and what they provide.
