Depending on your financial situation, you may be able to manage your debt on your own. However, many people need assistance from a credit counselor. Most people wishing to declare personal bankruptcy may also be required to attend credit counseling sessions. It's important to know in advance (and plan accordingly) that you may need to pay money for counseling, which could further strain your finances. Some credit counselors charge large fees, including both one-time payments and monthly fees. One of the biggest factors in deciding to work with a credit counselor should be your monthly finances. If you have debt, you may be able to manage that debt if your monthly finances are sufficient. However, if you find yourself struggling to stay afloat each month, credit counseling can help you work out a budget and stick to it. If you're living from paycheck to paycheck, hiding bills from your significant other, or living in constant tension due to your finances, credit counseling may help you. The other big factor in deciding to work with a credit counselor is how much money you owe. You may not be too far into debt, in which case you might be able to manage your finances independently. However, if you're deeply in debt and struggling to manage your monthly expenses, credit counseling can help.  If you max out your credit card(s) each month, dip into your savings, or use cash advances or payday loans, you may want to consider credit counseling as an option. If debt collectors call you, you definitely need credit counseling.
