It changed my life

When I came to the Credit Counselling Society three years ago I was terrified to answer my phone, my job was in jeopardy because creditors were calling me at work, and I avoided checking my mailbox for fear of the horrors that might await me there. CCS was able to negotiate with my creditors and relieve the immediate stress. Having all of my debt payments rolled into one manageable payment changed my life. CCS has helped me to turn my life around.

The counsellors at Credit Counselling Society have been truly amazing!! However, Mark Christensen has truly helped me to realize my potential to adhere to and successfully complete the program. He has been highly supportive. He has given me great advice and suggestions on customized webinars that will target my weaker areas. The general webinars I took in the beginning are insightful, and I learned that I was far from being alone. With Mark's support, along with all the respectful counsellors and people working to make this less stressful for me, I know, without a doubt, I will become debt free, and I will learn invaluable tools about my own spending and saving habits. This experience, given to me through the Credit Counselling Society, will only help me achieve greater financial control and responsibility for my future!Yeah me!Thanks CCS!!OliveUPDATE!I officially finished my program paying off over $36,000 in debt over 5 years!I now know how to budget better and am going to start with a clean slate and a better crediting rating!THANK YOU again to Mark Christensen for his spectacular support and guidance!Many blessings,Olive

Had a health crisis a few years back that put me in a lot of debt.I found the number of The Credit Counselling Society with the help of my worker at Progress Place..we chose an organization that would provide FREE services. I called The Credit Counselling Society and they immediately set up an appointment with Melanie Luchkow..a credit counsellor. When I spoke to Melanie her calm and reassuring voice immediately put me at ease.She shared with me the information I was seeking in a way in which I could understand and as soon as I hung up the phone..my worries were put at ease and I BECAME DEBT FREE. Thank you Melanie and the Credit Counselling Society..you provide a very valuable service not just in regard to our overall financial health but our physical and emotional well-being too.

I am very happy that I called this place. I was extremely stressed out and Janelle (hope I spelled your name correctly) was amazing. She was very patient with me as I explained my situation and she told me about my various options and what I could do. I even learned something new that I hadn't known before about debt and government assistance.I came away from the call feeling much better, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I've since followed the advice I was given and it looks like things will get better quickly.Overall a great service with compassionate and knowledgeable staff. Keep up the great work!

I highly recommend the Credit Counselling Society. My representative was very professional. She had guided and counselled me throughout. Was very happy to find a service that is actually free. The counselor helped to ease some of the anxiety I have been feeling about our debt and make some very helpful suggestions on how to move forward.

When I connected with the Credit Counselling Society I was in a very dark place. I didn't know where to turn or what to do. I had even considered that I was worth more to my family through my life insurance policy...... The Credit Counselling Society turned my life around. They made me see there was a way forward and they gave me hope. And now, here I am- thanks to the aid and support of very good people I have made it through to a much better place in my life with far better money management skills. THANK YOU!!!

It is very easy to give Neil and Sandra 5 stars.. It was a scary process at the beginning and didn't know if this was the route I wanted to take. After 1 meeting I knew I was at the right place.. We feel so blessed to have had them work with us. They were God sent!

I am a self-employed professional singer and voice coach and I thought no one understood the unusual circumstances of my business. I just had my first appointment with Stephanie and it open my eyes. I even cried a little because till now I always felt all alone. I am now looking at my budget in a completely different way.

I had the very good experience with my counselor and would recommend individuals to go if needed.

The program has helped me immensely by helping my consolidate my debt and negotiating an interest free payment schedule with my creditors. I am now on track to being debt free within 3 years, something I didn't think was going to be possible. My counsellor gave me great advice on ways to save, invest and generally make better decisions with how I use my money. This is an amazing service!

After the first interview, I'm really not that impressed. It still all comes back to the fact that I need to earn more money. Wouldn't that solve everyone's problem? I guess I could say the counsellor was friendly and professional, but there really were no solutions.
