Welcome to NFCC!
Description
Founded in 1951, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, Inc.® ("NFCC"), through its member agencies, sets the national standard for quality credit counseling, debt reduction services and financial literacy training. As the nation's largest and longest serving nonprofit credit counseling organization, the NFCC has played the key role in providing financial counseling and education to consumers for more than 50 years. With 120 member agencies and more than 1,000 local offices throughout the country, the NFCC is the national voice for its members, which are nonprofit, mission driven, community-based agencies.
Many NFCC members are known as Consumer Credit Counseling Service ® ("CCCS"). An increasing number of agencies operate under other names, but all members can be identified by the NFCC member seal. This seal represents accredited agencies with high standards, ethical practices, certified counselors, and policies and practices which help consumers achieve financial stability.
Each year, more than one million people receive counseling and educational services from NFCC member agencies. More than one-third of all consumers who come to an NFCC agency for counseling are able to manage their debt on their own after receiving financial education and counseling.
