Peterborough’s Community Counselling and Resource Centre (CCRC) has announced it is closing its credit counselling program after 48 years.
The non-profit charitable organization will cease offering credit counselling services effective Monday, May 31st.
“This decision was made as a result of changes within the industry,” states CCRC in a media release.
Since 1973, CCRC has been providing credit counselling, financial literacy, and debt management services to residents of the city and county of Peterborough.
The program, including CCRC’s accredited credit counsellor Nancy Jackson, will move to Credit Canada, an affiliate not-for-profit organization that provides credit counselling services in Canada. Credit Canada is an accredited member of Credit Counselling Canada.
“We are tremendously grateful to the Credit Counselling staff at CCRC for their efforts to assist the people in Peterborough City and County over the past 4.5 decades, and we will continue to refer clients who would benefit from Credit Counselling Services to Credit Canada after May 31,” the media release reads.
CCRC will continue to offer its other services, including its housing resource centre, employee assistance, community service orders, and professional counselling programs.
