Pre-Bankruptcy Counseling: Allows consumers to understand their alternatives to bankruptcy, how it will affect their credit and the types of bankruptcy.

Personalized, organized program to pay down debts based what the individual can afford. Works with creditors to stop collection activities, reduce payments, reduce interest, and get clients out of debt quickly.


Plans focus on financial education and empowerment so that by the time the program is completed, the client is debt free and equipped with the tools to stay out of debt.

Negotiates with current creditors to lower or eliminate the interest rate (typically to 2% to 8%) and have clients debt-free in five years or less. There is no prepayment penalty. Clients can leave the program at any time, although the creditors may return the interest rates to previous levels. Regardless of how many creditors are owed, this program works on a single, consolidated monthly payment.
