Helping Canadians Manage Their Debt Load Through Credit Counselling

In the spirit of Financial Literacy Month, today’s blog post by Consolidated Credit Canada describes how credit counselling services help families become more financially empowered:

Consolidated Credit Canada recognizes weight of financial burden some Canadians face

Trying to manage a debt problem all alone can be overwhelming and stressful. That’s why nonprofit Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada Inc. helps Canadians from coast to coast to manage their debt.

Consolidated Credit exists and provides counselling services because the reality is that many Canadians are struggling to make ends meet. To help Canadians stay on top of their financial obligations, ConsolidatedCredit.ca has made it their personal mission to educate Canadians so they can be empowered to make educated decisions about their finances, and live debt free and financially independent lives.

What some of our clients have said about our services:

“I never thought I’d stop worrying about debt, but I have now. Thank you,”
— Deborah K., Blind River, Ontario.

“I am so happy that I have gone to Consolidated Credit! I should have done it years ago! I highly recommend their services,”
— Michael S., Kamloops, British Columbia.

“Thanks to Consolidated Credit my debt is almost all gone! No headaches and no more annoying phone calls. It’s nice to have no more stress – thanks Consolidated,”
— John B., Windsor, Ontario.
