Upcoming Events

In February the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) will convene in Washington DC for its legislative conference. One priority is to develop relief for student loan debt.

Lisa Greenfield, Development Director, is planning to attend the upcoming NACBA Conference in Texas.

This annual event is an opportunity for us to learn about developments in consumer bankruptcies as well as in debt relief programs. In addition, it allows us to meet members of the Consumer Bankruptcy Bar and others involved in credit counseling. We will provide an update after the Conference.

Attorney Accounts

Attorney Accounts have new features. Having an attorney account now allows you to:

  • Provide a “coupon code” to any client to allow a charge to your firm rather than your client for the $5 certificate. This is helpful when a client has neither credit nor debit card and it also allows monitoring of the client's progress through counseling and ultimate request for certificate.
  • Manage your account information tracking use of any coupons and amounts charged to you
  • View your payment history for client certificates
  • View your client’s data describing income, assets and debts and counseling provided
  • Automatically receive a CC upon delivery of certificate
  • Identify those clients who have used your code to obtain a certificate and are now eligible for bankruptcy filing

To sign up for an attorney account is quick and free, just go to:

To log in to your already existing attorney account go to:

For any questions or comments about these features or about the Attorney Accounts, please contact Lisa Greenfield, Development Director of the Consumer Bankruptcy Counseling Project at lgreenfield@consumerbankruptcycounseling.info.
