When people get laid off or can’t find any work it can often lead to towards bankruptcy. Although bankruptcy is the last options anyone can take when it comes to debt, for some people it may be the only option that they can take. For these people the bankruptcy court may require you to go through bankruptcy credit counseling.

The court approved bankruptcy credit counseling agency is the only one that you are allowed to use. Courts will not allow you to go to any credit counseling agency that you choose; you have to go to these specific credit counselors that the court appoints. Failing to comply with court orders will make you have some serious consequences, often requiring you to go through the bankruptcy process all over again. Credit counseling is required for anyone who has filed for bankruptcy, whether or not your financial mismanagement was the cause of your bankruptcy.

The first thing you should do is to find a credit counseling agency that has been approved by the court order. This process is usually pretty easy because the courts usually give you a list of all the approved credit counselors.
