Any agreement between a consumer credit counseling service and a debtor for counseling and assistance must be in writing and signed by both parties. The consumer credit counseling service shall give the debtor a copy of the signed agreement. The agreement must disclose the total amount that may be retained by the consumer credit counseling service if the contract is fully performed, the terms upon which the debtor may cancel the contract, and all debts that are to be managed by the counseling service, including the name of each creditor and the amount of each debt. A consumer credit counseling service may not enter an agreement with a debtor unless a thorough written budget analysis indicates that the debtor can reasonably meet the requirements of the financial adjustment plan and that the debtor will be benefited by the plan.
