Credit Counseling Services in TorontoInterest rates are currently low in Ontario. However, an increase in interest rates would significantly impact an individual’s ability to meet their financial obligations.

Many individuals seek advice from a debt consultant or a credit consultant to acquire credit counselling services. There is often confusion between debt counselling services and credit counselling services in Toronto so be sure to investigate their services carefully and keep in mind there are many advisors that simply refer you to a trustee. If you find yourself constantly worrying about how to make ends meet, from one month to the next, then you should consider talking to a debt relief professional like a Trustee in Bankruptcy.

How much does Debt Counseling or Credit Counseling Cost?

Along with other services, the fees will differ in every company. However, the fees for trustees are regulated by the government and the first consultation is always free.

Credit Counseling Services

You could go to credit counseling companies, seek a consolidation loan, or seek the advice of numerous debt counseling services however only a trustee in bankruptcy can outline all the alternatives available to you and the legal consequences of each option.

Shopping around for a consolidation loan in many cases will significantly lower your credit rating as each company that runs a credit check will hurt your credit rating. Most companies that offer consolidation loans make their money by selling a loan agreement. On the other hand, a trustee is working with you to help you identify the best option for your situation.

Credit Counselling Summary and Debt Relief Options

Consulting with a trustee does not mean that you are obligated to file for bankruptcy.  In fact, they will review all your options including consolidation loans, informal proposals, credit counselling, consumer proposals, and personal bankruptcy. A debt counselor or credit counseling company must provide you with all the available options.

While it is important to understand the main circumstance that started the accumulation of debt, it is more important to set in place guidelines to prevent the event from reoccurring. Therefore, not only should your counselor identify the options available to you, but they should also help you to put measures in place to prevent problems from resurfacing in the future.
