Credit Counseling and Debt Management Plans in Oklahoma#
Oklahoma residents can receive a free credit counseling session from Cambridge Credit Counseling. A counselor reviews your income, expenses, and debts, then explains your options. If a debt management plan fits your situation, it consolidates unsecured debts into one monthly payment handled by Cambridge Credit Counseling. This is not a loan and does not involve borrowing new money. Almost all concessions such as reduced interest rates or waived fees follow preset guidelines set by each creditor, not by Cambridge Credit Counseling. In some cases they can vary based on the level of hardship in the budget, and certain accounts may not be eligible for them.
Housing Counseling for Oklahoma Homeowners#
Cambridge Credit Counseling is a HUD-approved housing counseling agency, and Oklahoma residents can use this service, including first-time homebuyer courses. A mortgage is a long-term secured loan where the house serves as collateral. Monthly payments typically include principal, interest, real estate taxes, and property insurance, known as PITI, and often private mortgage insurance as well.
Homebuyers in Oklahoma who put down less than 20 percent are usually required to carry private mortgage insurance, which protects the lender if the borrower defaults. This cost can range from 0.15 percent to 2.5 percent of the loan amount depending on the lender. Once the loan reaches an 80 percent loan-to-value ratio, homeowners should ask their lender to stop the premiums. Oklahoma residents who cannot afford a 20 percent down payment can contact a HUD-approved housing counseling agency like Cambridge Credit Counseling to see if they qualify for programs that help toward homeownership.
Student Loan Counseling in Oklahoma#
Student loan counseling is available to Oklahoma residents through Cambridge Credit Counseling. This service helps borrowers understand their federal student loan situation and repayment choices.
Reverse Mortgage (HECM) Counseling in Oklahoma#
Oklahoma residents considering a reverse mortgage, also called a HECM, can receive counseling on this topic from Cambridge Credit Counseling before moving forward with such a loan.
Bankruptcy Counseling and Debtor Education in Oklahoma#
Cambridge Credit Counseling is approved by the Department of Justice to provide the pre-filing bankruptcy counseling and post-filing debtor education required for personal bankruptcy in Oklahoma. Bankruptcy counseling and debtor education each cost $50.00 per household per session and are available free or at a reduced rate based on ability to pay. The fee is per household, not per person, so a married couple filing together pays once. Households with income below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines for their household size are presumed eligible for a fee waiver. Households above that line may still qualify for a reduced fee if they can show a temporary financial hardship, such as a recent job loss or drop in income, unexpected medical costs, disability, separation or divorce, the death of a household wage earner, or another documented financial circumstance that significantly impacts the household’s ability to pay. Waivers and reductions are assessed on the household’s current income, expenses and overall financial condition, and Cambridge Credit Counseling will not refuse services to anyone due to inability to pay.
What Cambridge Credit Counseling Does Not Provide in Oklahoma#
Cambridge Credit Counseling does not offer debt settlement to Oklahoma residents. Debt settlement means negotiating to pay less than the full balance owed, and it is a different service from credit counseling, typically offered by for-profit companies. Oklahoma residents looking for a debt management plan or credit counseling through a nonprofit agency can use Cambridge Credit Counseling for that purpose instead.
