What are your thoughts on Consumer Credit Counseling?

I own a home. It’s worth approx ,000 – I owe that much on it. I have approximately ,000 in debt. ,000 is in back taxes. (I only made ,000 last year?) If I choose to use consumer credit counseling, does anyone know if it really helps? Or is it just a flim-flam operation? http://bit.ly/ml6XJz
