There are many legitimate faith-based groups who offer Christian credit counseling. A quick online search will reveal page after page of them, and many are, indeed, affiliated with genuine religious organizations. And many are not.For consumers who have an existing relationship with a church who offers these services, then there is solace in knowing who they are dealing with, and that can be a positive thing. But for those who see the ads and think that because an organization is church-based that it must be legitimate, there can often be a sad realization when it doesn't perform.
The Christian Credit Counseling Contract is HOLY? - Oh, and the contract they have consumers sign is hole "E" all right, as in full of holes! Their contracts essentially protect them from client related lawsuits. If you are one of the countless numbers of Americans seeking to deal with an increasingly stressful debt problem, don't select a Christian Credit Counseling program or service on the sole premise that it's Christian based. You better beware because there are a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing and they will take your hard earned money and leave you high and dry with no compunction.
Getting help from Christian credit counselors can be a great way for people to get help and to feel comfortable about doing it. But unless the organization is personally known to the consumer, it should be just as researched and investigated as a privately held debt relief company. Unfortunately, the addition of the word Christian to the name doesn't always mean that the service will be good.As seen in the news, there relatively no part of society today that isn't vulnerable to scams, and the debt resolution business has just as many as any other industry. It is up to the consumer to do their homework and start working with any company with their eyes wide open. It takes relatively little effort to look at accreditations and references, and it is something that there's no excuse for not doing ahead of time.
Get The Help Online:Many companies have their websites and they offer online solutions for all your financial worries.

If the company doesn't show up on any of those sites with a warning from other consumers, you most are likely dealing with a trustworthy company.UNLESS, they just opened their doors for business! If they are a new start-up, my recommendation is, "Don't take a chance!" You've got enough issues on your plate working towards solving your debt problem and adding a fake money grubbing Christian Credit Counseling company to your plate may be more than you need to handle.
By using a Christian credit counseling service, you will be joining forces with other believers who have a true desire to help. They are even likely to look at their services as a ministry to others, and as a way of serving the Lord's body, the Church. Your counselor is likely to be a trained professional with expertise in the field of accounting or a related area. There may be extra benefits this fellow Christian can provide, such as putting you in touch with a Church buying co-op, or other cost saving plans.
Once you decide to use a credit counseling program, you will need to gather all the relevant financial 'paperwork': bills, contracts, creditor's statements and bank and salary details. As your counselor goes through these with you, his trained eye may see ways to reduce the owings more quickly. His wider knowledge of available lending rates could be applied to some of your debt, and he will have some 'inside' advice. Learn from the tips he gives you, as this will help prevent some financial misstep happening again.
The best place to find this faith based service is online. The Internet levels the playing field and makes locating faith based services a breeze as along as you're using the proper search parameters. Christian consumer credit counseling services are also available through local churches, ministries and other non-profit organizations across the nation. Those who consult with a service will be met with a caring and compassionate counselor who will carefully evaluate their financial status and present a workable plan for all parties involved; both the debtor and the creditors.
To insure there are no repeats, the Christian credit counseling staff may ask why and how you got into this debt problem. Oftentimes clients learn to deal with issues such as failing to budget, failing to follow a budget, greed and coveting things and objects. These are areas that someone outside of the Christian faith might not want to discuss or even recognize as being a problem.
Of course, not every case of being overextended is directly due to money mismanagement. Many times a sudden, unexpected financial crisis can take people by surprise. But even in these cases, the crisis occurs because a family does not have a savings 'buffer' with which to meet emergencies. So a long-term goal of Christian credit counseling is not only to see people back in 'the black' regarding debt, but to be proactive in money matters and use wisdom about accumulating savings, making sound investments, and having extra to give to needy causes.
