What To Do When a Collector Calls
This client-focused handout contains information and tips about how to handle a call from a collector or someone collecting a debt on another's behalf. Here are two helpful videos on dealing with debt collection, and how to talk with a debt collector.  
Debt and Debt Collection
You work. Let the Earned Income Tax Credit work for you!
Over the last 40 years, Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)  made life better for millions of workers. You may have extra money waiting for you. If you qualify and claim the credit, it could be several thousand dollars from the IRS for some workers.  Don’t be the one in five that misses this credit! The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) helps low- to moderate-income workers and families get a tax break. If you qualify, you can use the credit to reduce the taxes you owe – and maybe increase your refund.

Credit Report Dispute Letter
Your credit score is a tool businesses use to measure your creditworthiness - how likely it is that you will repay a loan.  Equifax, Experian and Transunion each compile a report of your credit  history to determine your credit score.  Occassionally, there will be errors in your credit history that will adversely effect your credit score and your ability to borrow money. 
Debt and Debt Collection
Stop Contact Letter
The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act is a federal law that requires collection agencies to stop contacting you if you send them a letter stating that you wish to stop contact.  Complete the interview in the link below to create this letter.  Stop Contact Letter Interview Creditors still have the option of pursuing legal action against you.  This will not make your debt go away.
