Very helpful

Brandon was incredibly helpful and helped me understand the options I was given by my bank, and gave me more options that were not originally provided to me. It was very reassuring and helped me regain hope that I had lost. It was really meaningful to me that he wasn't trying to sell me on something that wouldn't actually benefit me in the long run.

Hi Peter, we are very pleased to hear that your session with Brandon went well. It is very common to have an anticipated mindset that you will be judged or a lack of understanding to your true situation. All our counsellors are thorough and knowledgeable, supporting all who reaches out. Thanks for the review.

Credit Canada: Your Support in Tough Times

In times of financial hardship that seem insurmountable, Credit Canada (creditcanada.com) offers guidance and options that can truly make a difference. I must admit, I’ve wrestled with my conscience, always hoping I wouldn’t have to seek assistance. However, after an extended period without a stable income and with drained savings, the reality has set in, bringing all kinds of worries to mind, and I find myself in need of support.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Cathy Plowman, Credit Counselor, for the invaluable advice you’ve provided. Your patience, understanding, and friendly support have rekindled a sense of hope within me. Once again, thank you, Cathy, for your assistance during this challenging time.

Thanks,

Lacking Follow Up

The initial intake was amazing but I’m pretty disappointed in the lack of updates. Some of the creditors who I was told were included still have no record of an agreement and there’s been no response to my emails. The dashboard online isn’t the greasiest as far as clarity (on mobile) either. A weak 3/5 tbh
