Mike JThank you again for taking the time to speak with me today and for helping me to get my life back on track. I can't thank you enough for your support!
Christopher D.CCCS of Savannah helped me create a plan that would allow me to pay off creditors under terms that were manageable, and this gave me some much-needed peace of mind. You provide a valuable service and I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know who needs financial counseling about debt problems."
Ken and Mary M.Thank you SO much for helping in getting our debt bills paid!! What a great feeling! We most definitely would recommend your organization to anyone that was having money problems! Hope everyone at your office has a great and safe Christmas and that they are all paying with cash!
Julie C.I just wanted to send an email to say what a great organization CCCS is. I have had great results from your service! From the very start, with my consultation with Rachel to my recent experience with Danielle, the service from the CCCS has been second to none. Their consultants have been there to answer and address every question and issue I have called about in the past year with the most courteous service. On a scale from 1 to 10, I say you're a 10+. Thank you!
Bob F.I just completed 4 years of paying off a $20,000 credit card debt and I cannot thank you enough. The renegotiated rates and payments got us through a difficult time after closing a 20-year business post 9-11. We stalled for two years before using CCCS of Savannah as I'm sure many people do. We didn't understand it and thought it would ruin our credit rating so we quietly suffered. Boy, were we wrong. We are so glad we came to CCCS. Thank you!
Mike S.I had to take a major pay cut of about 30%. Credit card debt was a major expense that had to be addressed. I read articles on credit card debt and I think CCCS of Savannah was one of the recommendations. They were extremely professional, and the recommendations, solutions, and goals made sense. I wish I would have done it earlier. I would absolutely recommend them to someone in need.
Mary T."The credit counseling experience was very positive and encouraging. We felt it was really nice to talk to someone who didn't judge us based on our financial difficulties. We also felt better after the counseling session knowing we had a plan."
Sharon G."I felt like I was out of options. I had paid hundreds of dollars in credit card bills for years, always making all of my payments, but the balances weren't going anywhere. I had depended on these cards for so long, I felt powerless when all of a sudden I didn't have any. I counted on them all those years as a backup, so I was a nervous wreck. It seemed to be never-ending."
Lisa"My interest rates were high. Very high! I called the credit card companies but they would not lower them. I came to CCCS of Savannah and now some of my accounts have rates as low as 5.9%!"
JenniferWhen I came to CCCS of Savannah I was in complete shock. My husband and I were both laid-off on the same day! We were in over our heads, and creditors were constantly calling. The set-up process was so easy. I did the appointment over the phone and received the paperwork shortly after. I am so happy we found CCCS. The staff was really nice and very courteous. Any time we had questions about our account, they were addressed immediately; and if we could not receive an immediate answer we had a response within 24 hours. It feels so amazing to have our creditors off our back. Having our interest rates reduced and being able to have one convenient monthly payment, made this program so easy. I am so thankful that CCCS of Savannah dealt with our creditors. I don't know how we would have gotten out of debt without you!
SharonI would definitely recommend CCCS to someone struggling with their debt. No one ever made me feel like a deadbeat because I had to do this. I was never embarrassed to say I was on the program. It was just so great and I was doing something good for myself. I just needed a helping hand."
Mary"It's very nice to be able to know when the money will be coming out and how much is due each month. It's very convenient that we don't have to figure out where to send all our bills each month, and it is a lot less stressful trying to budget and remember everything. In addition since being on the debt management program, we were also able to get a car loan.
Mary T."The customer service has always been very pleasant and it's never been a hassle when we have called. We also have never dreaded calling. We've had to change our payment date several times and the service we received was great!"
Ali"This program has taken a whole lot of stress off of us. We feel like we can see a light at the end of the tunnel, as opposed to feeling like we are in quicksand."
Lisa G."Well, all I needed to do was organize my living expenses and what I had for credit card debt. Then my credit counselor came up with a payment plan that I could afford."
NancyYou make one monthly payment and CCCS pays the credit cards for you. They are able to lower your interest rates and that is what really helps pay down the debt. All I have to do is watch my statements to verify payments have posted, my interest rates stay low and I am done!!
Sara S.I am very happy with the program and would recommend it to others!
SherrylI chose CCCS because it was easy, and I felt safe with the way the program provided information.

Edward and MargieCCCS took ALL the debt we had, got the lenders to decrease the percentage rates, and establish a monthly payment. We started seeing our debt fall and at the end snowball! Praise the Lord we are free!

CarmenThe assistance that CCCS offered us was a great relief. They take charge with coordinating with the creditors, lowering, and in some case eliminating the interest rates on the debt, to include the balances until each of the debts were eliminated in a reasonable time and with easy plan. We are always grateful for their services.

Debt Management ClientI had massive college debt on my credit cards and I was overwhelmed. I also had mounting hospital bills and I was in my twenties. CCCS helped me breathe again! I was able to make monthly payments, therefore keeping me fiscally responsible. Thanks to CCCS I am in graduate school and my bills and overload are now paid off. I have no debt and I am able to get my masters from Savannah State.
Credit Counseled ClientMs. Harris was really great! She was helpful and thorough and always took the time out to explain all of the information that I needed to know. I am now able to budget better and I don’t use my credit cards anymore. It was an eye-opening experience and I now know what it feels like to obtain financial freedom.
Mr. Gardenhire, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employeeRichard Reeve taught this class and it was great. I wish some of my college teachers had as much energy and knowledge as he did. He is very informative and entertaining. You need that when teaching.
Mortgage Assistance ClientJennifer Ward is nothing short of an angel from God because she explained everything and answered all of my questions and helped me with all my documents. She walked me step by step through everything. She was patient and kind and even though we met over the phone I truly felt like I had a friend that I had known all my life helping me. Ms. Ward knew I was worried and I was scared to lose the only home me and my son has ever had. She called me back every time there was an update and she was truly wonderful. When the mortgage lender gave me problems, Jennifer quickly got the ball rolling again.
Bankruptcy Assistance ClientMs. Harris was really great! She was helpful and thorough and always took the time out to explain all of the information that I needed to know. I am now able to budget better and I don’t use my credit cards anymore. It was an eye-opening experience and I now know what it feels like to obtain financial freedom!
Debt Management ClientThis military client was retiring from and had $28,886 in credit card debt. Karen Lavery, their CCCS counselor, enrolled them in a DMP that saved them $373 per month and $24,694 over the life of the plan. The client said: To Karen “As you know my husband is retiring from the military and we need to get our credit card debt under control, you helped us so much. You made sure that the monthly payment would not be higher than his retirement pay. Also, a huge thank you for the help you gave us in recommending my husband for a job with the BCSO, this has enabled us to stay in Beaufort County”.
MargarettaI came to get advice regarding my credit – building my credit score, clearing up mu credit due to identity fraud. I recently submitted an application for Habitat for Humanity home. My credit score was 572 and is now 709. I wanted to thank you for your advice. It took just a little nudge from you for me to continue to be proactive. It’s a great feeling. Thank you very much, Jennifer Sikes.
ShirleyThe two workers I met where a gift from God and I really appreciate their assistance. People need to go the sessions; they are very beneficial.
