Credit Counseling

Credit Counseling and your credit score

One of the most common questions posed to the credit counselors at Money Management International is how participating in a credit counseling or debt management plan affects a credit score. It is a common misperception that working with a credit counseling agency is viewed by lenders as being the same as if you file for bankruptcy. This is simply not the case.

According to Liz Pulliam Weston of MSN Money, the current FICO formula ignores any reference to credit counseling that may be in your file. That’s been true for the last three years, after researchers at Fair, Isaac, the company that created the FICO scoring system, noticed that people getting credit counseling didn’t default on their debts any more often than anyone else.
