Celebrating 30 Years of Financial Education
I decided to buy a home because I wanted to settle down with my family.
In order for me to get a new house, I needed to pay off all my debt.
Where we were renting, it kept increasing.
It was challenging to get an organization to lend you the money.
We still had this mortgage payment that was going up and up.
Our appointment was really low, so my goals were piling up on top of each other.
All roads led eventually to Consolidated Credit.
One of my neighbors told me about Consolidated Credit.
I heard about Consolidated Credit through email.
First time home buyers, this is a very important support that you can get in this process. You know, it can be traumatizing sometimes.
I really like that they had different people coming in from different areas.
Every time I called, I felt the warmness over the phone, that they were my personal team.
Without the class, I don’t know if we have this house right now.
After I finished my debt management program and the house counseling, my credit score went up to 790.
I know this is ours, and that is a great and wonderful comfort.
I would definitely recommend Consolidated Credit.
I want to thank Consolidated Credit and the team for everything. They reached out and did for me.
We come to work every day because nothing feels better than helping people lead better lives. But we couldn’t do any of that without our partners. Simply put, they help us help millions.
Consolidated Credit is one of our great partners who comes in and not only teaches financial education and literacy to our students, but also to their parents.
Everybody is very appreciative and found this boot camp to be worth their time. And it’s certainly worth our effort and we’re just so eager to have them.
It’s great to have a partner in the community that we can refer them to.
Consolidated Credit has been a long time supporter and partner of Junior Achievement of South Florida.
We look for someone who has a great reputation in the community and is actively involved in financial education that we can partner with all of our similar programs.
We’re so incredibly grateful to Consolidated Credit for their assistance and support; not just financially, but every year they come and bring toiletries and food, and just so many things that help us respond to the challenges that people in our community are facing.
This partnership with Consolidated Credit Solutions: we’re changing lives, we are building intergenerational wealth, and we are building financial independence for the families that we serve. Thank you Consolidated Credit Solutions for this amazing partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
You folks do a phenomenal job, and it’s so important to educate everybody, plus our men and women that serve our country.
The more financial literacy you have among a city, the better your city is going to be, so we appreciate having Consolidated Credit in our city.
KOFE is a financial wellness program that has different features. The online website features a portal that we give to a corporation to put on their internet. Employees will have access to a lot of different tools, as well as a dedicated toll-free line so the employees will have access throughout the year to unlimited and free financial coaching.
Employers are noticing that nowadays employees are not only finding themselves with health issues but also having a lot of problems with their personal finances. They’re also finding that personal finances are affecting the bottom line of the company, so employers are reaching out to Consolidated Credit more and more looking for that corporate financial wellness program that it can add to the mix of offerings they have in their wellness initiatives.
We’re here to educate, and inspire, and meet you where you are.
