Pre-filing Counseling

By completing Consumer Credit Counseling Service of San Francisco’s pre-filing counseling program, you will have fulfilled the requirement to get started with filing bankruptcy.

The program takes about ninety minutes, and is broken into two parts. Once you complete the counseling, we will provide you a certificate of completion. The fee for certification is $50. In limited circumstances, you may be eligible to have this fee waived.

Part 1:
Self-Study Course

The first part is an online self-study program designed to take 30 minutes to complete. If you prefer to complete the self-study portion in hard copy instead of on the internet, download the PDF version.

Part 2:
Counseling Session

Once you have completed the self-study and filled out the online worksheet, you will need to call us at 800-777-7526, press option 4 to schedule your pre-filing counseling session. Our office hours are Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (PST).
