Bankruptcy Counseling Fees and Disclosure
Privacy Policy: As per Federal Regulation, The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 calls for privacy of consumer financial information. Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Oklahoma (CCCS of OK) is committed to assuring the privacy of individual and/or families who have contacted us for assistance. We realize that the concerns you bring us are highly personal in nature. We assure you that all information shared both orally and in writing will be managed within legal and ethical considerations. To assist us in our work with you, our staff may seek supervision/consultation with professional colleagues within the agency and, when appropriate and necessary other resources in the community. For the purpose of evaluating our services, gathering valuable research information and designing future programs, we may use aggregated case file information. Your anonymity will be maintained through the use of a client number or by using the aggregate information in all circumstances. In all other situations, your data may be released to appropriate individuals or agencies only with your written request or when our staff has been served a valid subpoena.
Disclosure and Fees: CCCS of OK maintains the highest standards of quality. All of our Counselors are Certified Consumer Credit Counselors through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling who, after passing six examinations, maintain professional development units each year in order to keep their certificates active. The majority of counselors have a bachelors degree and average 8 ½ years of on job experience. CCCS of OK does not pay or receive fees or other considerations for the referral of clients to or by CCCS of OK. CCCS of OK also offers this counseling by telephone or by an in-person interview. Please call 1-800-324-5611 to set up an appointment for a telephone counseling session or an in-person interview. Upon completion of your counseling, CCCS of OK will provide a certificate of completion to you. This certificate is mandatory before filing for bankruptcy. CCCS charges each person $50 which includes all materials to provide this service. CCCS of OK will provide services without regard to a person's ability to pay and will not withhold services because of an inability to pay; therefore hardship waivers are available.
