CCCS of Northeastern PA brings to Advantage CCS an experienced staff of counselors and client service representatives to help better serve all of our clients’ counseling, education, and debt management program needs.
By bringing CCCS of Northeastern PA into the Advantage CCS family, we can serve consumers in more office locations than we could before.

In addition to our previous office locations in Pittsburgh, Altoona, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg and York, we now have locations in Pittston, Stroudsburg, State College, and Williamsport.
The acquisition of CCCS of Northeastern PA also expands our staff so we can better meet the needs of our current and future clients. Advantage CCS now employs 17 certified credit counselors and 4 program support specialists who are dedicated to improving the financial well-being of our clients.
While our office locations have expanded and the size of our staff has increased, Advantage CCS is still committed to its mission of providing professional, meaningful, and confidential consumer education and budget/credit counseling, as well as developing effective debt reduction programs for all segments of the communities that we serve.
