"Credit Counseling" and "Commercial Counseling" services are two completely different things. Whereas credit counseling services are generally non-profit, commercial counseling services (clinics) may charge you 10%-15% or more of your total debt. Meanwhile, the services provided by the non-profit agency are basically the same.
When looking for financial guidance, consumers need to examine who companies have working for them. All of the employees of the debt management and credit counseling services should be trained professionals who are experts in fields such as accounting. Many of these services do charge a fee so the consumer needs to make sure the service is top-notch. If the company is going to charge a lot of money for their services, then the consumer should take a step back. It is important not to go into further debt in an attempt to get out of financial problems. Consumers need to be aware of what they are getting themselves into and ask about trained employees and services charges up front.
Consumers need to look for experts that have their best interest at heart. The professionals who work at debt management and credit counseling services should be people who desire for their customers to get out of debt and will work hard to make that happen. Consumers will have to share the most personal of financial details with these counselors so they should be able to trust them and depend on them for confidentiality. If it helps the consumer feel more secure, they may want to consider working with a company that is exclusively Christian and bases all financial guidance on Biblical principles.
