Maryland residents fortunately may only be served by nonprofit credit counseling organizations that are recognized as charities by the Internal Revenue Service. While this may change in the future, you can rest assured that your credit counseling organization has your best interests first.
A new financial counseling hotline is provided statewide for all Maryland residents. Telephone counselors may help you with budgeting, credit reports, debt counseling and even help you find a volunteer that can prepare your income tax return.
If you need help, contact the statewide hotline at 877-254-1097.
