Why Become Certified?
There are laws that govern the industry you work in. The Uniform Debt Management Services Act (UDMSA) requires certification for those who provide education and assistance to individuals in connection with debt management services. The Executive Office of the U.S Department of Justice also requires that counselors providing the mandated pre-bankruptcy filing credit counseling be certified. The creditors that many of you work with on behalf of your clients also require that you be certified.
