Consumer Credit Counseling (Catholic Charities Credit Counseling)
Catholic Charities offers comprehensive and confidential programs, including:

Budget/Financial Counseling -

Counselors will help individuals and families set a budget based on income, living expenses, priorities and goals. Future financial problems can be avoided through planning, wise use of credit, education and family money management. All sessions are free and confidential.

Debt Management -

Sometimes the debt can be so overwhelming that continued help is needed to get the situation under control. Counselors will notify each creditor on the client's behalf and negotiate a payment plan that is acceptable to both parties. Creditors are asked to stop all collection efforts and deal with CCCC directly. Some creditors will reduce or eliminate finance charges.

Payments to creditors are handled directly through the CCCC office. Clients will make one payment for all eligible creditors and CCCC will disburse those funds to individual creditors. Payments are deposited in a trust account and disbursed monthly to creditors until the client's account are paid in full or minimum payments can be resumed.

Typically, CCCC can assist with credit cards, department store cards, unsecured loans and hospital bills. We cannot negotiate payment arrangements for mortgage payments, car loans or student loans.

Consumer Education -

The answer to financial problems lies in preventative education. Catholic Charities Credit Counseling has trained counselors to provide presentations on credit, consumer rights, money management, shopping tips, and car/home buying.
