Advantage Credit Counseling Service has recently been licensed and approved to provide their expert free credit counseling and debt management program to consumers that live in the state of New Hampshire.
Now that the Agency is licensed in NH, they only have 4 more states to go before they are licensed in all 50 states for credit counseling. They still have to get final approval in Kansas, Maryland, Nevada, and Vermont. But they are working hard and very confident that will happen before 2013 is over.
A little history about New Hampshire –
New Hampshire was founded in 1623 by John Mason. It is known as The Granite State because of the enormous amount of granite that is found all throughout the state. Levi Hutchins of Concord, New Hampshire, invented the first alarm clock in 1787. It only worked at 4:00am, the time he woke up every day.
Of the 13 original colonies, New Hampshire was the 1st to declare its independence from England, a full 6 months before the Declaration of Independence was signed. In 1833 the 1st free public library in the United States was established in Peterborough, NH.

The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) was also created in 1951 to monitor legislative and regulatory activity and to conduct public awareness campaigns about credit. The NFCC’s mission is to promote financial literacy and help consumers avoid bankruptcy.
Debt management programs work –
Most credit counseling agencies offer some type of debt relief plan. Advantage CCS offers their expert and proven Debt Management Program (DMP). A Debt Management Program is a formal agreement between a consumer and their creditors to repay unsecured debt.
DMPs help eliminate outstanding debts at a reduced level over a fixed period of time to help regain control of finances. You can expect lower interest rates, over-the-limit and late fees reduced or waived, faster payoff time, and saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars in interest.
