Financial Literacy & Credit Counseling |  | | | Credit Counselor Steve Plummer, second from right, leads a recent Financial Literacy class |
Credit Counseling provides confidential, one-on-one counseling to residents seeking to establish, improve, or repair their credit. Our certified credit counselor will help you determine your credit score and identify ways to build or rebuild your credit.
Our Credit Counselor also facilitates workshops on budgeting and financial literacy.
Financial Literacy workshops help people establish household budgets, create savings accounts, reduce debt, and build and maintain good credit scores.
New sessions begin every month, and consist of four, 2-hour classes. Workshops are FREE and open to all Springfield residents. Spanish-language workshops are available.
