To prevent financially vulnerable individuals from turning to high-cost borrowing and to ensure continuity in their repayment efforts, CCRS operates Micro Credit, which provides low-interest loans to cover essential living expenses. Eligible groups include clients steadily repaying debts under CCRS debt-relief programs or those who have recently completed repayment, as well as low-income individuals who face difficulty accessing traditional financial services.
