 Advantage Credit Counseling Service is a customer satisfaction orientated non-profit organization headquartered in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. We have been successfully assisting consumers with debt and financial problems for over 43 years. We provide expert financial education, credit counseling, bankruptcy counseling and an effective debt management program. AdvantageCCS would like to announce that we have reached 10,000 Fans on our Facebook Business Page.

By the end of March 2012, our brand page on Facebook, Advantage Credit Counseling, reached 10,000 Fans when a new fan named Abby clicked the "Like" button. We couldn't let this benchmark go by unobserved. While the number of Fans isn't the most important metric in measuring social media, it's a milestone nonetheless. Our Facebook Page has been an important tool in helping to educate people about personal finance, debt management and the wise use of credit. Our true metric for success is in helping people and communities understand the importance of financial stability and helping them get there.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our Facebook Fans for making this possible. We provide the most relevant and up-to-date news and advice to help our online community with their financial needs. User engagement is also very importance to us, so we use the Question Polls and other Facebook services to find out what our users want to know and see on our page.

AdvantageCCS gets approval to expand bankruptcy counseling to 13 new states

Advantage Credit Counseling Service, Inc. (ACCS) has recently been approved by the Executive Office for the U.S. Trustee (EOUST) to expand its pre-filing bankruptcy counseling services to 13 new states for consumers who intend to file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcies. A basic condition under the bankruptcy law stipulates that consumers must receive mandatory credit counseling from an approved agency within 180 days prior to filing for bankruptcy. This provision of federal bankruptcy law ensures that individuals understand all of their options and that they have the necessary knowledge and tools to develop a sound financial plan for the future.

The 13 new states are Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.

AdvantageCCS is also able to offer bankruptcy counseling to the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

"We are really excited to be approved to offer our bankruptcy counseling services to 13 new states," said ACCS President and CEO Stephen Piotrowski. "It is a confirmation to the hard work and quality service that our agency employees provide to those in need. We look forward to servicing many more people that are thinking about filing for bankruptcy", Piotrowski said.

AdvantageCCS has completed over 5,600 bankruptcy counseling sessions in 2011. According to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), "the criteria set forth by EOUST reflects a very strong commitment…to ensure that the counseling and education provisions are substantive in nature and of the highest quality."
