Services Offered

a.     Credit Counseling Sessions

         (1)      In a confidential session, we will review your complete financial picture. Just like when you go to a
                   doctor's office, we need to run some tests.

                    First, we need to review all of your monthly expenses and monthly income. Next, we need to
                    determine the reasons why you got into debt and what options and solutions are available to you.

                    Finally, we will then present to you a FREE action plan outlining what we feel is in your best interest.                     This is all free and part of our dedication to the community.

         (2)      In some cases, a debt management program, or DMP, will be recommended to you. This is probably
                   the program most people are familiar with. If we feel this is the right program for you, a certified
                   credit-counselor will explain the fees involved and benefits to be enjoyed.

b.     Housing Counseling

         If you own a home or are looking to rent or buy a home, or any other housing-related issue, please
         contact our office for a free housing counseling session.

         This is all free and part of our dedication to the community.

c.     Pre-Bankruptcy Counseling (including, certificate issuance)

         In certain cases, bankruptcy will be best solution for you. If we feel that bankruptcy is your best option, we

         is only person who can properly advise you of your legal rights regarding bankruptcy.
