    This company is amazing. They have helped me tremendously. I initially contacted them for help with a debt management plan. They helped me get set up with a plan that works for me and they have been there every step of the way since. They answered all of my questions - and I asked a lot. This is a legitimate company - part of **** - a nationwide, non-profit credit counseling agency. I was very scared to do this, but they are also recommended by Clark Howard, a well-known consumer advocate. In the beginning there was a glitch, and I became scared. Part of the scare was they had recently changed their name so I questioned if they were still part of ****. Also, I was set up with a company from another state. That concerned me. So, I reached out to one of the heads of the corporation. I never thought I'd hear from him. I honestly hoped for a response from his admin - maybe within the next week. However, within 30 minutes of receiving my voicemail - this person contacted me directly and answered all of my questions. While I don't recommend hitting up the corporate big wigs - I did and I am stating this because this is an example of how dedicated and helpful they are. After the debt management was in place - they offered help with my student loans. Now that was/is a MAZE that totally confused/confuses me. They are experts and receive grants to help with student loans. Lisa F. has been with me and helped all along the way. I would NEVER have been able to address the student loan situation without her. You can feel very confident working with this company.
