Debt Management
Helping individuals get out of debt.
Understanding the Financial Situation
Debt Assessment
Conduct a thorough assessment of the individual's financial situation, including all outstanding debts, interest rates, monthly payments, and total debt-to-income ratio.
Budget Analysis
Review the individual's income, expenses, and spending habits to identify areas where expenses can be reduced or reallocated to prioritize debt repayment.
Credit Report Review
Obtain and review the individual's credit report to identify all existing debts, credit accounts, and payment history. Address any errors or discrepancies that may affect their creditworthiness.
Discussing Options
Debt Consolidation
Consolidate multiple debts into a single loan with a lower interest rate, making it easier to manage payments and reduce overall interest costs.
Debt Settlement
Negotiate with creditors to settle debts for less than the full amount owed, typically through a lump-sum payment or structured settlement plan.
Debt Management Plan (DMP)
Enroll in a DMP through a credit counseling agency, which consolidates debts and negotiates lower interest rates and payment terms with creditors.
Bankruptcy or Consumer Proposal
Consider more extreme options such as filing for bankruptcy or making a consumer proposal to legally reduce or eliminate debts, depending on the individual's financial circumstances and eligibility.
