Non-Profit Approval Shows Delray CC Goes the Distance for Debtors
Government approval of Delray Credit Counseling's 501(c)(3) status allows the agency to continue to lead its clients to debt freedom.
Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 20, 2008 -- Delray Credit Counseling announced today that it received IRS approval as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization on February 15, 2008. Few companies now receive 501(c)(3) status approval. Only a handful of companies have been approved in the last 18 months.
A troubled economy leads many consumers to seek debt relief. In the past, bankruptcy was the easy answer, but an October 2005 law demands that debtors consult with a credit counselor before they can file a bankruptcy petition. However, the IRS received hundreds of consumer complaints about credit counseling agencies (CCAs) that used their non-profit status to line their pockets with debtor dollars. These complaints prompted the IRS to audit credit counseling agencies nationwide and resulted in many company closures and non-profit status revocations.
As one of the few companies that have maintained its non-profit staus over the last five years, this achievement says something about DCC--its commitment to excellence and the positive ways in which the agency helps consumers.
