When you contact us, we will set up a time for the first appointment. This appointment will last an hour and a half. Please be sure to have all of the documentation mentioned above with you for that first appointment, and be sure to arrive on time. Many of our families are in the same position as you and the demand for our services is high. We often have appointments back to back. If you arrive late, you will only be able to meet with the counselor for the remaining amount of time.

If you have any questions during this entire process, please do not hesitate to contact us or email us at sherrie@creditcoalition.org.
