1/22/10: Free Tax Return Filing Service Starting February 4th
Visalia, CA – January 21, 2009 – Times are tough, and the promise of a hefty tax return
has families scrambling to file their returns as quickly and cheaply as possible. In the
new era of thriftiness, CSET’s free tax preparation service seems almost too good to be
true, especially compared to paid tax preparers, who charge hundreds to prepare
relatively simple returns.

Foreclosure Counseling

CSET is working hard to help Americans deal with our current economic challenges. A major concern that is affecting millions of consumers is the alarming rate of home foreclosures and the inevitable scams that prey upon those who are facing the loss of their homes. The Federal government is committed to relieve the growing crisis by getting the right information out to affected households.

CSET's Foreclosure Counselor, Maria Villa, participates on the Facing the Mortgage Crisis Partners & Advisory Council. This council is a partnership among many different media outlets such as Radio and TV, as well as local non-profits/agencies that provide direct services to clients facing foreclosure. KVPT (Valley Public Television) hosts the council meetings. To learn more about these efforts you may visit http://www.valleymortgagecrisis.org.

Facing the Mortgage Crisis - TV and radio programs offer advice for those struggling with mortgage payments.
