Credit Counselling Service
Non Profit, Professional Counsellors – Find the Right Debt Solution Agency

Before entering into an agreement with a credit counselling service, check them out, ask questions to determine if the agency is non-profit, has properly trained counsellors on staff, and offers free and low-cost services. It could be the difference between finding the right solution versus making a costly financial mistake.

Credit Counselling Information & Hallmarks of a Good Agency

It’s in your best interest to find out if:

their counsellors provide objective information and advice or are really sales people whose main goal is to sign you up for a debt relief or consolidation plan when you may only need money management assistance
the agency is properly licensed in the Province(s) it operates in
they have any unresolved complaints that have been filed with the Better Business Bureau or provincial regulatory licensing office
their financial records and trust account are audited by an outside accounting firm confirming that the agency is financially stable and all funds are accounted for
they provide ongoing support, education and guidance to their clients

It’s OK to ask for help with debt

Life just happened. My debt got to the point where I started to feel like I was drowning. I didn’t feel like I could fix it on my own, and I wanted to start living my life as an adult without debt. I decided to reach out for help. Feeling relieved, I knew that everything was going to be okay – a lot of work – but okay. I had a plan to pay back my debt and continue doing the things I love to do like yoga and travelling.
