Bankruptcy Pre-Discharge Education

Online Bankruptcy Pre-Discharge Personal Financial Management Course

This financial management course is designed to provide you with the knowledge to manage your finances and give you the tools to help build a brighter financial future.

Family Service Agency Inc., Consumer Credit Counseling Service (FSA-CCCS), is approved to issue certificates in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code. Approval does not endorse or assure the quality of an agency's services. We use the American Center for Credit Education (ACCE) course, Money In Motion, approved by the Executive Office of the US Trustee.

Federal legislation requires anyone seeking discharge from bankruptcy to first complete a Personal Financial Management Course with an approved credit counseling agency. FSA-CCCS is approved to provide online counseling to residents filing in the following four (4) districts: Eastern AR, Western AR, Western TN, and Northern MS.

Online Pre-Discharge Bankruptcy Education is an interactive online course that you can complete at your own pace. You can leave the course and return where you left off as often as you desire. The Bankruptcy code requires you to spend a minimum of two hours completing this course. You may not be issued your certificate if you do not spend enough a time at this website.

The cost for this class is $50.00 for a single or $65 for a joint filing. Both of you will be required to complete the two hour class.

Once you complete the online course, including all required questions and worksheets, your certificate of completion will be sent to you via your chosen method (email, fax, or mail) within two business days. Incomplete items or worksheets may delay your certificate.
