DEBT SOLUTIONS

Debt Management Plans

A Debt Management Plan allows you repay unsecured debt through one manageable monthly payment, often lower than your current minimum payments.

Instead of juggling multiple creditors and rising interest charges, we work with your creditors to create a structured repayment plan that fits your budget. In many cases, creditors agree to reduce or eliminate interest — often to as low as 0% — allowing more of your payment to go directly toward paying down your balance.

This can include debts such as credit cards, overdrafts, unsecured personal loans, unsecured lines of credit, payday loans, department store cards, old utility bills, and collection items.

Our credit counsellors review your full financial situation and help you determine whether a Debt Management Plan is the right option for you.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROGRAM

What Is a Debt Management Plan?

A Debt Management Plan is a structured program that allows you to repay unsecured debt through a single monthly payment.

Your credit counsellor works with your creditors to combine your eligible debts into one payment that fits within your budget. Each month, you make your payment to the program, and we distribute the funds to your creditors on your behalf.

Because the plan is arranged with your creditors, your creditors will agree to reduce or eliminate interest to 0%. This allows more of your payment to go directly toward reducing the balance you owe.

Most Debt Management Plans are designed to repay 100% of the debt within five years, providing a clear and manageable path toward becoming debt free.
