ABOUT US
Since its founding in 2001, American Debt Counseling (ADC) has provided assistance
to thousands of consumers across America seeking to regain control of their finances.
As a nationally recognized nonprofit organization 501(c)(3), ADC offers a wide array
of services designed to achieve financial stability and build wealth.
To help you realize your goal of personal money management success, ADC has developed
proven services and programs including confidential credit counseling and debt management
services, as well as financial literacy programs; all of which will serve to educate
you on the key personal finance issues that impact your life.
Credit Counseling Sessions
American Debt Counseling (ADC) is accredited to International Standards Organization
(ISO) 9001:2008 by British Standards Institution (BSI) (Certificate number FS 93187).
ADC also maintains an excellent rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and
because of this recognition by the BBB, consumers continue to choose ADC as a fair,
honest credit counseling organization providing superior services to its clients.
ADC provides confidential credit counseling sessions in person and by telephone,
which allow you to gain valuable knowledge and insight into budgeting and proper
use of credit. ADC's certified credit counselors evaluate your particular financial
situation to determine the best solution, which may include available options such
as community-based social service referrals and enrolling in a debt management program.
Debt Management Programs
To further address the specific needs of our diverse client base, we have developed
debt management programs that are designed to save you money by reducing your unsecured
debt faster with lower, more affordable interest rates and repayment plans. Developed
for clients who are financially burdened, this program reduces monthly payments
according to established creditor guidelines that in most instances may shorten
the term of debt repayment, while reestablishing credit worthiness.
Financial Literacy Programs
ADC has a long standing commitment to money management education. Our financial
literacy programs teach consumers to take a proactive approach to managing their
finances responsibly through educational courses covering such topics as budgeting,
supermarket savings and saving for college. For those who wish to regain control
of their personal finances, ADC offers Basic Budgeting, Wise Use of Credit and Good
vs. Bad Debt.

Headquartered in Sunrise, Florida, ADC provides nationwide telephone and in-person
counseling Monday through Friday. Participating clients have 24/7 access to account
information through our secure website, myadc.org. Licensed, bonded and insured,

A Message from ADC's Founder and CEO, Alan Silverberg
"In 2001, I joined the challenging, but highly rewarding credit counseling
industry with one intention in mind – to help people. It is my family's goal to
reach out to those less fortunate in the community by providing the educational
resources to enhance their social and financial well being.
Because I am a strong advocate for financial wellness, I have lent my support over
the years to national associations and will continue to do so."
