As a certified non-profit credit counseling organization incorporated in 1968, Advantage Credit Counseling Service educates consumers about wise debt management and the responsible use of credit through an effective debt management program. The agency enlightens and assists thousands of people each year through free, confidential credit counseling, debt management, and various community education presentations. The non-profit credit counseling services and debt management program of Advantage enhance clients’ lives, their family stability, and the community.

The agency provides private, confidential budget, credit counseling and also provides a special debt management program. The debt management program enables clients to repay millions of dollars a year to their creditors often saving them thousands of dollars in interest. Once on the debt management program, most creditors will waive existing late and over limit fees as well as discontinue the overwhelming number of collection calls.

• The agency provides counseling and education classes regarding budgeting and the wise use of credit. When appropriate, the agency negotiates payment arrangements with unsecured creditors for consumers who are delinquent with their creditor accounts. In turn, many creditors offer concessions to their customers such as stopping late fees, ending collection activity, and reducing the annual interest rate. The agency also provides housing counseling for consumers applying to the Homeowner's Mortgage Assistance Program and pre-purchase counseling for first-time home buyers.
