Yes. Counseling is confidential. Professional counselors do not discuss a client's personal situation with any third party unless the client has duly authorized us to do so. Client records are maintained in secure facilities.

The counseling session may be carried out face to face, by phone or online. You may call 1-800-717-2227 or (787) 722-8835 for an appointment or you may begin a counseling session now.

Each client's financial situation is different and we need to take into consideration your specific needs. Most of the counseling sessions last 60 minutes, but other specialized services may entail up to 120 minutes. If you are short on time please send us an e-mail message or start an online session now. Having on hand all required debt-related documentation expedites the process and reduces duration of the counseling session.

At a minimum, you should have the following: proof of income, utilities' invoices, credit card statements, personal loan payment books, and any letters received from your creditors or collection agencies. If any of these documents were not available, you should prepare a list of your monthly income, expenses and debts (amount owed as well as the assigned payment) and provide it to your counselor.

The first step toward regaining your financial health is to seek counseling. To set up an appointment at the branch nearest your home, you may call 1-800-717-2227 or (787) 722-8835.
