About American Credit Counseling Service: American Credit Counseling Service (ACCS) was founded on March 1, 1988, with a mission to help consumers, by providing financial education to those in need. In June, 1989, in response to requests from the United Way, ACCS began providing no-fee one on one credit counseling to United Way clients, in addition to seminars. ACCS was incorporated as a “not for profit” corporation, American Credit Counseling Service, Inc., in March, 1992, and received its tax exempt IRS 501 c (3) status in August, 1994. They continue to provide quality Financial Education to the consumer, and they still conduct seminars and workshops to the public, free of charge. They maintain a policy of lowering or waiving fees for consumers, the majority of which are low income. They staff our nationwide toll-free telephone numbers for consumers that seek free credit and financial advice. They feel that they provide services that are essential to all the communities that they touch.
