| Consumer
Credit Counseling Service of Delaware Valley continues
to offer reverse mortgage counseling for free!
Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Delaware Valley (CCCSDV)
has provided reverse mortgage counseling since 2002 and
has been an important resource for seniors even when
they do not qualify for a reverse mortgage.
CCCSDV will
continue to waive the usual $125 counseling fee in order
to help more homeowners learn how a reverse mortgage
loan can help them remain in their homes.
We have been
fortunate enough to receive grant funds through July
31st to help us offer counseling to seniors at no cost
to them. Many seniors are looking for the loan to help
them through financially difficult times and may not be
able to afford a fee. We know that this will be relief
to them.
Consumer Credit
Counseling Service of Delaware Valley is a local
non-profit that has helped over 500,000 individuals and
families since 1966. CCCSDV counselors are certified by
the National Foundation on Credit Counseling and HUD. We
have 15 certified reverse mortgage counselors on staff.
Call 800-989-2227 for an appointment this week.
