CCCS of Mid-Florida has served north-central Florida for 23 years. GreenPath, which was founded in 1961, took over operation of CCCS of Mid-Florida’s four offices on January 1.

Services include debt and credit counseling, personalized budgeting, housing counseling, financial education, and debt management programs through which GreenPath may help stop collection calls, lower interest rates, eliminate late fees and lower monthly payments.
