I want to express my gratitude to Cathy Plowman for her excellent credit counselling. She took the time to thoroughly explain the details of my budget plan, making it clear and easy to understand. Her guidance has given me a better understanding of my finances and how to manage them effectively. Thank you, Cathy, for your patience and professionalism—it was a great help!

Far exceeded expectations! and FREE!

I spoke with Randolph completely out of the blue. I thought about finding help to review, understand and fix my credit rating that had been steadily decreasing and I didn't know why. I reached out to Credit Canada because ChatGPT had them listed as a top resource. Randolph called me less than 24 hours later and spent almost an hour and a half on the phone with me explaining the company, how they're funded by banks etc, and then walking me through every page of my 100+ page credit report. I thoroughly enjoyed the call and I walked away feeling so much better. Thank you Randolph and Credit Canada!
