Debt Payoff Challenge

The Debt Payoff Challenge

A debt repayment game by the Credit Counselling Society. You've got $35,000 in debt, well above the roughly $22,000 in non-mortgage debt the average Canadian carries. Every month you'll have extra money to put toward your debts, but interest never sleeps and life loves to throw surprises. Choose your difficulty and see how fast you can become debt-free.

You paid off your debt. Here's how your strategy compared to two proven methods, plus what professional help could have done.

* Illustrative example. On a Debt Management Program, interest on eligible unsecured debts (credit cards, store cards, lines of credit and similar) is often reduced or eliminated. Car loans and student loans are shown at their original rates. Actual results vary.

A Debt Management Program from the Credit Counselling Society often reduces interest rates significantly, helping you get debt-free faster than any solo strategy.
