Can I qualify for debt relief with bad credit?
Yes! Many Portland Oregon residents who enroll in our program have struggled with their credit. We’re here to help you move forward.
Will a debt relief plan hurt my credit score?
A brief, minor dip is possible, but the long-term trend is positive — most clients in Oregon see credit score gains as their balances decrease.
Can I use my credit cards while enrolled?
To maximize your results, active credit cards are suspended while you work through the program. This helps you stay focused on becoming debt-free.

Your initial Credit Counseling evaluation is completely free. If you choose to enroll, there’s a modest monthly fee that’s a fraction of the interest you’ll save.
