CCCS Info:
Central Illinois Debt Management is a nonprofit member agency of the National Foundation for Consumer Credit (NFCC). NFCC member agencies serve over 1,500 communities throughout the country. Central Illinois Debt Management was established in 1966 by a group of concerned community leaders. They saw a need for education in the responsible use of credit and money management, and also the need for an alternative to bankruptcy. Counselors are available on Wednesdays of each week at the Extension office. Please call 1-888-671-CCCS (2227), (309) 676-2941, FAX: (309) 676-6143 to make an appointment
