I used CCCS of Atlanta online last Wednesday.
The same one SinkingFast used. My session was quite short, actually less than an hour. I already had my expenses list prepared for my attorney plus they can import most of your creditors and info from your credit report with your social security number and a "proof of identity" question. The $50 fee came right out of my checking account and the completed certificate was sent via email to my attorney and to me in 24 hours.August '05 Business failed.
Spring '06 Found this site, thank heavens

how was your experience?!
The two approved online required counseling websites that are consistently mentioned the most favorably online in bk forums and blogs are Hummingbird at http://www.hummingbirdcreditcounseling.org/ and CCCSAtlanta at http://www.cccsatl.org/index.asp?_me...md=bankCounsel .I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.

we were never required to do a on the phone session. Once I printed off my certificate from the internet...that was it. It took me about an hour to put everything in, then instantly I printed my certificate. Took it to my lawyer and he didn't ask for anything else. Did I miss sometime I was suppose to do?9/28/06: Filed Chapter 7

So, what do the credit counselling companies do with the info??
So, I'm just curious here... What exactly do all these credit counselling agencies do with all this private financial info you're sending them? Do they sell their client lists to marketers or these "You're Pre-Qualified!" credit card marketing companies?
I'm having some hesitation giving out this kind of personal info...09/13/06: -- C13 filed with Courts
12/04/06: -- Plan confirmed!
Payments left: -- 38

After you file, and before you're dischaged, you have to do Debtor Education Classes.
You can find DOJ approved agencies here:

Right hand side. Bankruptcy Reform Box. Second line.

My first session was all online. I didn't have to talk to anybody and it seemed like it went by pretty fast. I only had 1 wrong on the pretest (probably owing to all my reading about BK )
I'm waiting until after my 341 to do the 2nd session. I've heard that it's longer and probably more useful than the first.Filed Chapter 7 pro se- 7/24/07
341 Meeting - 9/13/07 Done!

I just finished my second course about a week ago, my lawyer recommended this one:
This website is for sale! hummingbirdcreditcounseling.org is your first and best source for all of the information you’re looking for. From general topics to more of what you would expect to find here, hummingbirdcreditcounseling.org has it all. We hope you find what you are searching for!
Just because it charges less than the others, only $19 where most are $50. You can pay by credit/debit card, or pay pal.
I actually got more out of it that I expected. It was all online, you watch a video and look for 5 code words to prove you watched it, then take the test and you're done. Took a little over an hour.
You're supposed to choose to get your certificate by email, fax, or snail mail. I put in both email and snail mail addresses and they sent both.Filed Chapter 7: 07-31-2007 :clapping:
