System Upgrade now in Progress: We are in the process of updating our systems. During this time, the online portal will be down. If you need to make a change to your payment (2 business day notice required), please contact a certified counselor at (800)-823-7396. During this migration, we do expect longer than normal hold times and do appreciate your patience.
As of August 5,2024 we are upgrading our client portal to a new, user-friendly website that better fulfills our mission of helping consumers achieve self-reliance, financial stability and financial independence.
The upgraded design offers improved functionality, navigation, organization and usability. This portion of our website is designed to enhance the experience of our online community and provide helpful information in a simple, fast and efficient manner. We believe the site's improved usability will create an enhanced learning environment for our users.
