*Note: Certain states—Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wisconsin—have specific licensing requirements which may limit the availability of counselors to assist immediately. If you are a resident of one of these states and we do not have a counselor available when you call, we’ll gladly schedule a counseling session at the earliest time convenient for you.

Getting Ready for Your Session

To make the most of your phone session, we recommend first gathering the following:

• A list of your monthly income sources
• A list of your expenses, such as food, utilities, gas, clothing, and gifts
• Your most recent credit card statements
• Any correspondence you’ve had with collection agencies or the I.R.S.
• Any questions you have for your counselor
• Financial goals, like saving for a home, buying a car, and saving for retirement
