This is great! But how do you get away with giving general credit advice without a license!? Have you confirmed you don't need one as I'd be very surprised?


I don't believe there's any 'authorized credit advisor' license anywhere in the United States. A state-level Fiduciary license would probably be the closest thing.


Putting aside the name of the specific licence, don't you need a licence to carry out this kind of service?
