American Credit Foundation Review

Bills.com's Review

American Credit Foundation's website emphasizes its debt management plan. Unlike most other Consumer Credit Counseling Services, their website doesn't focus on educating consumers or the other services they provide.

Regarding the debt management plan (DMP) that American Credit Foundation offers, based on research by Bills.com, they don't charge a set up fee, where many firms do. They do charge a monthly service fee that is capped at $39, but may be less.

American Credit Foundation quotes a program of an exact length, not an estimate.

ACF did not present a detailed plan in writing prior to signing up. They quoted a program of an exact length, but did not break down the interest rates they would obtain from each creditor. Not presenting a plan in black and white, so a consumer can easily compare it with other proposals differs from the other credit counseling firms Bills.com researched.
