Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Atlanta (CCCS) is a national non-profit agency with a local name. Founded in 1964, CCCS is headquarters for CredAbility Network, a family of agencies with 18 offices located throughout north Georgia, south Florida, middle Mississippi and east Tennessee. In addition, we serve clients in all 50 states via Internet and telephone. Our mission is to help financially-distressed people move from crisis to control by providing compassionate service and innovative and practical solutions. We see ourselves as a financial emergency room, creating hope and inspiring lasting change. CCCS provides confidential budget counseling, comprehensive housing counseling, preventive money management education programs and debt management to consumers across the nation and from all walks of life. All our services are available in English and Spanish and, through a contracted arrangement for translation services with Language Line Services, in more than 170 other languages. On May 26, 2010, we officially rebranded our organization: Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Atlanta became CredAbility. We changed our name to eliminate confusion and differentiate ourselves from other agencies with similar-sounding names. We wanted to make it easier for people to find us, wherever they may live. From our humble beginnings in 1964, to our position today as a national leader in nonprofit credit counseling, CredAbility remains a community service agency. On January 1st, 2014 Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Atlanta/ CredAbility merged with ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions.
