Debt Relief in Action: Virgin Islands

Finding debt relief in spite of limited income.

Residents in the U.S. Virgin Islands have no shortage of challenges when it comes to debt. Unemployment rates are high and even for those who have a job, median earnings and household income levels are significantly lower than in the continental United States. For women, median earnings are even lower. Yet residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands still face the same problems with debt that other U.S. citizens face, so as a result nearly one in three families is living in poverty.

The information below is designed to help you understand the average financial situation in the U.S., as well as how some residents are using credit counseling to overcome their personal challenges with debt. If you’re struggling to eliminate debt and you need help, call Consolidated Credit at (844) 276-1544 or fill out an online application to request a free, confidential debt evaluation from a certified credit counselor.
