You’re not alone.

NFCC-certified counselors can work with you for your specific needs.

Bankruptcy Guidance

There are numerous types of bankruptcy and it’s critical to understand all options and whether bankruptcy can be avoided. NFCC Member Agencies and their counselors can help navigate the complexities while explaining costs, impacts and potential alternatives.

Military and Veterans

Service members often encounter financial stressors such as frequent relocation, deployment-related disruptions to household income, and the transition to civilian life. NFCC-certified credit counselors provide personalized assistance to help military families reduce debt, improve credit scores, and build financial resilience.

Renter Budgeting

An inability to pay rent is often tied to other financial challenges, like high-cost debt and low credit scores. NFCC Member Agencies and their certified counselors offer a holistic solution—everything from eviction prevention to debt payment strategies.

Small Business Owner Finances

It can be important for small business owners to understand how to separate business finances from personal finances. Our certified counselors are trained to do just that—helping to ensure that small business owners are on a path toward financial success without compromising personal goals.

Student Loan Debt

Many student loan borrowers also carry other debt that can make repaying a student loan more difficult. Our certified credit counselors can help students develop a personalized plan to tackle debt while identifying the best options for student loan repayment.

Client, NFCC Member Agency Money Management International

We realized that we had more expenses than income. My counselor helped me prioritize my expenses and informed me of options to handle my debt. She provided suggestions on how to balance our budget.
