CLIENTS SPEAK OUT - 
" Personal and supportive attention all the way though. Felt I was dealing with people I knew and trusted. Could not have done this without this very special organization. Thanks sooooo much! "  ~  Gretchen V.
" This was my first time having to go through a debt management program. The staff throughout the whole process were excellent and friendly to deal with. The tracking system was very easy to use and understand and when it came time to pay off my balances early, they were a phone call away and made it very easy for me to get my debt closed out and paid off. I don't want to be in this situation again, but if I would, ACCS would be my first choice! "  ~ Richard K.
" It was awesome. When I first set it up the payments were manageable and if I had a question I could email and I always got a prompt answer. This was an excellent decision. Thank you! "   ~ Diane F.
