Taking control of credit
If you need help paying your bills, you have several options:
- Contact your creditor and try to work out an adjusted repayment plan.
- Check your telephone directory for nonprofit financial counseling programs. Some universities, county extension centers, military bases, credit unions, housing authorities and banks operate programs and charge little, if anything, for assistance.
- Contact Consumer Credit Counseling Service, a nonprofit agency that has more than 20 offices throughout Missouri. Debt counselors will try to arrange a repayment plan that is acceptable to you and your creditors and will set up a budget for you. Call 800-388-2227 for the nearest CCCS office.
