Credit Counseling Course Options

by Morgan Fisher on February 8, 2009

Before you file for bankruptcy, Section 109(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code mandates that a debtor must obtain credit counseling “during the 180 day period preceding the date of filing of the petition.”  The course itself is relatively painless except for the cost ($30-$50) .  It is crucial that you have the providers listed below fax (866-393-4828) me a certificate of completion before you come in to sign your petition.

Here are a few pre-bankruptcy credit counseling providers that I recommend:

Startfresh

MMI

Hummingbird

Unfortunately, credit counseling is not optional; you must take it in order for me to file your case.
