How much does it cost to get credit counseling or financial management training?
Agencies providing credit counseling and financial management training are permitted to charge “a reasonable fee,” but no specific dollar amount has been set. The amount charged varies from provider to provider, but the average for credit counseling appears to be about fifty dollars. Financial management training is a longer course and may be slightly more expensive. Credit counseling providers must provide counseling for free to those individuals who do not have the ability to pay; requests for waivers of the fee are handled on a case-by-case basis by each provider.
