My wife worked for them for 10 years. If they can't help you because of income guidelines, they will likely refer you to lawyers who may do the work without charge. My wife has a private practice now specializing in creditor harassment, avoiding foreclosure, and bankruptcy. It if nauseating the length these people will go to harass and victimize people who are having financial difficulties. Good luck to you.
