Be EXTREMELY careful with ANY company that calls itself "CCCS" or uses it in its name or description of its services.

"CCCS" is a term that means 'Consumer Credit Counseling Service' and a company may use the initials or full words to describe themselves directly or what CCCS does in general. It may also use the initials in their company name which might give them an unfair ability to use the initials later describing the process of 'Consumer Credit Counseling Service ' rather than their company specifically.

So a company may say "CCCS helps thousands of people a year", that may be true. However if they were to say "CCCS of Whateverville helps thousands of people a year" that may not be true.

"CCCS" or 'Consumer Credit Counseling Service' may sometimes be used in what seems to abbreviate their company names but DOES NOT, it abbreviates the term 'Consumer Credit Counseling Service '. If you misinterpet any promise, example, reference or anything else when someone uses "CCCS" it may seem that THEIR COMPANY is what they are talking about, but in reality may be the term instead.

Do a yahoo search on "CCCS" and see how many companies use it in their name and then see the references some use with and without their full company name. Which are they talking about, their company or CCCS in general.

I'm not trying to spook you or turn you off from any one company, but a companies careful twisting of words can get you into deep trouble when you actually think you are doing something beneficial.
