I highly recommend talking with the CCS to get you started in better understanding what options you may have in the finance realm - which has a language and is an animal all it's own.

I participated in this program back in 1998 after a divorce left me struggling. Scott Hannah took a chance on me then and I succeeded! Two years ago, after cutbacks at work, I needed a boost and found that help with this program again. There have been many changes and improvements since 1998 that I feel would help clients to get on their feet again. I have again found my footing and I am grateful for your help in doing so!

My husband had a bigger creditcard debt, and we decided we better do something before is too late. We started to work with another program, paid them about $2000, and then we heard that they were scam. Maybe they were not, but we decided that their fees were way too high. We were so happy when we found CCS! Minimal fee, and great service. My husbands debt was paid in less than five years, and my way smaller debt in about three years. The customer service is excellent, I choose to have a face to face counselor meetings, and he was always helpful, and polite, easy to talk to guy. Anytime we needed help it was a phone call away, and if wasn't available immediately "it" was getting back to us withing the day Thank you CCS Team

“When debts became a problem, I felt very overwhelmed – like I could not see the end of the tunnel. Picking up the phone felt like lifting a 10 pound rock, but they were very cheerful on the other end of the line. I came in, discussed my situation in privacy, and instantly got relief knowing I was in good hands.”
– Delores
More About the Credit Counselling Society & Our Standards
We’ve offered non profit consumer credit counselling for well over 25 years. 95% of Canadians who get in touch with us are often helped without being charged a cent. People only choose to pay for our help if they decide to go on our Debt Management Program. This consolidates each one of someone’s credit card and other unsecured debt payments into a single monthly payment that they can afford. The program either eliminates all credit card interest rates or drastically reduces them. Although this is a valuable program that eliminates debt, allows someone to re-establish their credit, protects their privacy, and gets their finances back in order as fast as possible, it’s just one of a number of ways that we’re able to help people.
We believe that the best debt consolidation in Kelowna or debt help is an option that allows someone to get back on track as quickly as possible while helping them achieve their long-term financial goals. Unfortunately, our approach is at odds with the way some commission driven financial counselors, debt advisors, credit consultants, and credit advisors out there operate, but we believe that when someone is struggling financially, you need to look at all their options and focus on what’s going to help them the most in the long run. For this reason we don’t pay our staff commission – only a salary. In addition to this, to ensure our organization meets the highest national and international standards, we decided to join, open ourselves to audits by, and become accountable to the most respected organizations in our industry in Canada and North America, Credit Counselling Canada and the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. We also report to a volunteer board of directors and to the Canada Revenue Agency. We’re also the only Canadian organization in our industry to annually open its books to an external auditor.
To benefit from one of our highly trained credit and debt counsellors having a look at your financial circumstances and working with you to see your choices for getting things back on track, give us a call now at 250-860-3000. Our help is free, confidential, and non-judgmental. The only thing you’ve got to lose is your debt.
Our goal is to always put consumers first and look out for their best interests in everything we do. One way we do this is through transparency and accountability. We are held accountable to the most rigorous standards in our industry.
