Learn what our certified credit counselors do and how they can help you.

One of the great things about working with a credit counselor is the personal interaction you have with a certified financial professional. You can get answers to all your financial questions and learn about the best debt relief options for your unique financial situation.

At Consolidated Credit, we understand making the decision to get professional help with debt can be hard, so we want to make it as easy as possible for you. Showing you our “human side” can only help you feel more comfortable that you’ll be working with real people who really understand what you’re going through.

Meet the certified credit counselors of Consolidated Credit

Ludole J.

From working as a customer service rep for a credit card company to becoming a certified credit counselor, Ludole knows every side of this business. Armed with that knowledge, he helps clients understand how to win when it comes to the credit game and how to avoid the problems most people wind up facing.

Sheila West

Ever been so involved in a project at work that you go home and dream about it? For Sheila West that means visions of MasterCard and Visa dancing in her head. After 21 years, working as a certified credit counselor has become a passion – not just a job.

Bob Cornick

Before becoming a certified credit counselor, Bob Cornick served as foster parent to five boys. He says it was a natural jump to becoming a credit counselor, since this job still allows him to help people who really need the life-changing help we can offer.

Claudia Steele

Claudia lives by the adage, “Doing what you like is freedom, liking what you do is happiness.” That’s how she’s gone from advising friends and family on how to overcome financial challenges, to being a certified credit counselor here at Consolidated Credit.

Erick R

Think you’re the only one who struggles with debt? You’re not alone, even certified credit counselors like Erick R. have struggled with debt in their lives. Hear how Erick overcame his own challenges and how he applies that same knowledge to helping others in need.

Kimberly

Particularly when we face a tough economy like this one, anyone can fall into debt from circumstances beyond their control. Whether it’s because of divorce, loss of income, or even giving too much to help others in need, Kimberly B. can attest that debt happens. She helps people get their lives back.

Jamel M.

As a certified credit counselor, Jamel never gets tired of seeing a client feel good when they’ve finally gotten control of debt and gotten back on the right financial path. That’s why he counsels clients to trim the fat and focus on financial health instead of keeping up with the Joneses.
