I’ve talked before about whether or not you should hire an “expert” to help improve your credit. While you’ve probably heard loads of ads and commercials about fixing your credit, there’s no easy answer or magic bullet.
The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) and the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies (AICCCA) have joined forces to strongly urge consumers thoroughly investigate and understand any debt resolution option before making a decision.
Keep in mind that it’s up to you to do your homework before doing business with anyone, particularly if it involves your finances. So what should you keep an eye out for when looking for a reputable business? They’ve created a tips sheet which you can download and reference before working with any company or agency.
