Financial advice for individuals struggling with debt in October
The Debt Counseling Service has announced an awareness campaign, which will see extended open office hours and additional service locations on October 10, 12, 17, and 19, 2023. Although the specific details for these dates, such as the exact extended hours and the additional locations, have not been disclosed yet, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) is eager to increase access to its debtor assistance programs.
Since 2008, the Debt Counseling Service has been offering open office hours, with over 6,672 consultations taking place within this framework over the past 15 years. On average, around 60 consultations are conducted per month during the open office hours alone. The focus of these sessions is on crisis intervention and information provision, making the service a low-threshold offer that is well received.
The open office hours at the counseling center at Östliche Karl-Friedrich-Straße 37a will have extended hours on October 10 and 17, 2023, with operations running from 7 am to 12 pm and 2 pm to 7 pm. The open office hours in the town halls of Büchenbronn and Eutingen will take place on October 19, 2023, while the town halls of Huchenfeld and Würm will host an open office hour on October 12, 2023. The hours for these sessions are from 9 am to 12 pm.
For more precise information about the extended hours and venues for these specific October 2023 campaign dates, it is recommended to check official announcements from the Financial Supervisory Service or the Korea Legal Aid Corporation websites or their press releases closer to those dates.
The Debt Counseling Service offers a confidential initial consultation without prior appointment during the open office hours. If you are seeking advice, this could be a valuable opportunity to learn more about the services available to help victims of illegal private lending and debt collection issues.
The awareness campaign is also utilising the 15-year anniversary of the open office hours to raise awareness of this counseling service. The extended opening hours and one-time open office hours in town halls are aimed at making the service better known.
In addition to the open office hours, the Debt Counseling Service offers a range of debtor assistance programs, including legal representation and free counseling services. For more information, it is advisable to visit the official websites of the Financial Services Commission or the Korea Legal Aid Corporation.
Personal finance concerns may be addressed during the extended office hours of the Debt Counseling Service's awareness campaign on October 10, 12, 17, and 19, 2023. These extended hours provide an opportunity for individuals to take advantage of the free counseling services offered by the Debt Counseling Service.
