How the directory is chosen
Only government agencies, federally authorized services, and national nonprofits are listed. Debt Rolodex does not list for-profit debt settlement, consolidation lenders, or credit repair companies, and nobody pays to be included.
State programs and laws vary. For state-specific help, start with your state attorney general or dial 211.
