What To Expect During Your Credit Counseling Session
First, your counselor will determine your net monthly income and ask you various questions that will help to estimate your monthly expenses. Some expenses, like the monthly rent or mortgage payment, are easy to determine. Others like groceries or gifts can be more difficult to identify.
This is an important first step because it helps your credit counselor and the online credit counseling system determine all of your potential options to better manage your money and get your debt under control.
To get the most out of your free credit counseling session, it may be helpful for you to review any grocery or ATM receipts you have, scan your checkbook register, and do a mental inventory of items you typically spend money on throughout the year.
Second, after examining your monthly income and comparing it with your expenses, we’ll identify any shortfalls in your budget. During this second phase of the credit counseling session, we will assist you in developing a balanced and easy-to-follow monthly spending plan.
Your counselor will also recommend ways to increase your income, cut back on expenses, or even restructure some of your debts.
In addition, your counselor may refer you to other state or national resources that may be of help.
