Undergo Credit Counseling Before Filing For Bankruptcy

Approval Process for Credit Counseling and Debtor Education Courses United States Bankruptcy Administrator Program

United States bankruptcy administrators in Alabama and North Carolina are accepting applications for approval of credit counseling agencies or debtor education course providers as required by the Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("2005 Bankruptcy Act").

The 2005 Bankruptcy Act requires all individual debtors who file bankruptcy on or after October 17, 2005, to undergo credit counseling within six months before filing for bankruptcy relief and to complete a financial management instructional course after filing bankruptcy.

The 2005 Bankruptcy Act directs the bankruptcy administrator to assess and approve credit counseling agencies and debtor education course providers, according to statuory criteria, and requires the Clerk of Bankruptcy Court to maintain a publicly available list of approved credit counseling agencies and debtor education course providers.
