Consumer Credit Counseling Services can help you manage debt and develop a budget. Approved agencies are available in every state and judicial district, offering assistance in various languages. This guide explains how to find approved consumer credit counseling services in your area.
Locating Approved Consumer Credit Counseling Services by State
To find a consumer credit counseling service approved by the U.S. Trustee Program, you can search by state, U.S. territory, or commonwealth. Keep in mind that agencies offering services online or by phone may have physical locations outside your selected state or district, but are still authorized to provide services in your area. In some areas, consumer credit counseling may only be available by internet or phone.

Many approved consumer credit counseling services offer assistance in languages beyond English and Spanish. A list of agencies and available languages is provided by the U.S. Trustee Program. If you require a language not listed, contact the Credit Counseling Unit at the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees.
