It is important to shop around carefully for a credit counseling agency because a few have been accused of dishonest business practices in recent years. The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) is a reliable resource to check for contact information about local credit counselors. Information about NFCC member agencies is available at www.nfcc.org. Some states also license credit counseling agencies that do business within their state and can provide information about licensed firms.
