Credit Counseling Explained

Many people wonder what happens during credit counseling and have questions about the credit counseling process.  In this post, we aim to provide people with the information they need to understand credit counseling before they file for Utah bankruptcy.

As mentioned in our prior post, "Credit Counseling Pre-requisite to Bankruptcy", people must fulfill the credit counseling requirement 180 days prior to filing for consumer bankruptcy.  When people go through credit counseling, they will meet one-on-one with a specialist or professional that is approved of by the U.S. Trustee Office.  Usually, the meeting will last for 60 to 90 minutes and will cost around $50.

People who go through credit counseling will have their personal finances evaluated and receive additional information related to the bankruptcy process.  After people have completed credit counseling, they will receive a certificate of completion which is automatically generated by the U.S. Trustee Office. 

If you have questions about credit counseling or bankruptcy, now is the time to contact the Stone Law Firm and speak with a Salt Lake City bankruptcy lawyer.
