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.

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

Very helpful and professional

I called Credit Canada seeking advice for my son who was facing some financial challenges. Randall quickly understood our situation, laid out our options, answered my questions and made the intro to another advisor for us. He had a very reassuring presence and was clearly knowledgable. In other words, a true professional which is what you want when you are seeking personal financial advice.
