Budget Planning: Do Your Finances Need a Spring Cleaning?

Get back on track with our Debt Management Program that helps you pay your debts by negotiating monthly payments to your creditors. Work your way back to credit health by contacting us today!

It’s finally springtime! If you’re like me and tired of winter, now is a good time to sit down and look at your finances and your family budgeting. If you haven’t already done so, find a weekend where it is still cool and gather your bills, organize them, find out where your money is going and work on your budget!

If you need help with this, come see us at Consumer Credit Counselling Services! Our counselors can sit down with you, look over your income, finances and credit debt and provide you with alternatives for getting out of debt! We currently have the “SharpenYour Financial Focus” campaign going so if you come into our office, the counseling session is free, you take a test online, speak with a counselor and we will create a free account for you at freecreditscore.com. This gives you 12 months of free access!

Please give us a call and we would be glad to help you. Thanks and have a great day!

Have You Considered Mortgage Counseling?

Have You Considered Mortgage Counseling?

Today I’m here with Stephanie Block, a mortgage counselor here at CCCS for five years.  With her expertise, she’s helped a lot of families remain in their homes and resolve their mortgage problems. Stephanie counsels people who are delinquent with their mortgage and works with their lender to help them get current. We see people who have lost their job, hours reduced, divorced, a death in their family or any other reason they may have for falling behind on their mortgage.

Stephanie makes sure to tell people that they aren’t the only one facing these problems even though their situation seems unique to them. If you’re in need of mortgage counseling, your first step would be to set up an appointment with our housing department and you will be sent a packet that will tell you step by step what information needs to be brought to the counseling session. Our disclosures, our privacy information, your paystubs, bank statements and anything else that will help us assess your situation in the best way.

This may seem intimidating, but it makes for the most beneficial appointment. The best part of Stephanie’s job is seeing the relief on her client’s face after having spoken with them. She also says that people feel better before anything is even done because of the confidence she instills in them. Although there is relief in the first session, Stephanie explains that there is multiple contacts that must be made with the lender to assist the client.

I would like to thank Stephanie for joining us today and I encourage you to reach out to our housing department if you are in need of any counseling. Thanks and have a great day!
