Tailored Credit Consolidation Services
Do you often have difficulty paying your bills? Are your earnings never enough? If your answer is yes to any of these two questions, you very likely have a bad credit rating and serious credit issues. Struggling with debt can easily keep you from progressing in life and also make your financial issues harder to handle. As the issue worsens, you might find that you are losing control over everything. It might even get harder for you to review your financial statements. At this point, it is easy to lose track of your debt.
One fact you need to understand is that you don’t have to face all your financial problems alone. We offer tailored credit services thanks to our understanding of the industry as well as the importance of getting professional guidance when trying to get a hold on your finances. This is the core of credit counselling.
You, however, need to be cautious when working with a credit counselor. Debt counselling specialists don’t have the power to eliminate bad debt or wipe clean bad credit history. This is not the work of a credit counselor since eliminating your debt or clearing your bad credit history is not possible. We are not in the business of making unrealistic promises. Our work is to find practical solutions to your financial problems. It is these solutions that will get your closer to good credit history and no debt. It doesn’t matter how big your debt is; we are qualified to tailor solutions that will change your unique financial position. All that we ask of you is to commit fully to our process.
Phases of Credit Counselling
Financial Assesment
Understanding your financial status fully is the first step of credit counselling. Our team will help with a comprehensive assessment of your finances starting with your income, expenses, assets, and debt. This is done to get all the numbers and tiny details. The assessment is very important and detailed. We ask that you be open with our credit counselor in this phase. If the counselor doesn’t understand fully how your life runs, coming up with a solution that is practical and customized to solve your debt will not be possible.
Financial assessment is an uncomfortable stage for most people. It appears more like an invasion of privacy. It can also lead to panic once the magnitude of your financial problems dawns. However, this is an unavoidable phase.
Debt Solutions
Financial assessment sheds light on the things that ought to be done to come up with an effective solution. We have lots of experience handling various types of debts and debt situations. This experience helps us come up with the best solution for handling debt.
Money Managment
Poor money management is the root of money problems. The focus in this final step is to build our client’s capacity to handle as well as manage financial matters independently.

5 Ways To Consolidate Debt In Toronto
- How York Credit Can Assist
When you want to get debt help, one of the approaches would be to visit your bank, credit union or finance company and request them to give you a loan. This form of financing will be used to pay off all outstanding debts and bring them together into a single big loan.
Benefits Of Taking This Type Of Loan
The main advantage of this method is that it gives you only a single loan to worry about. Again, you’ll end up saving money because the loan is usually offered at a lower interest rate. You can even pay off the debt within a certain amount of time, usually between two to five years and the fees charged are usually low.
However, in most cases, you can’t qualify for this kind of loan without security. You also need to have a good credit rating to get this loan. If you get an unsecured loan of this kind, expect to pay really high interest rates.
The other option to consolidate your debt is by getting a second mortgage, refinancing a mortgage or using your home equity loan. In simple terms, you get a loan based on the portion of the home that you own (your equity). The bank simply allows you to take a second mortgage which is the new consolidation loan. The first mortgage is the initial loan you took to buy the home.
Why Get A Second Mortgage?
Using second mortgages to consolidate debt comes with several advantages. For a start, you are likely to get very low interest rates. The bank is also likely to give you flexible payment arrangements that you can fulfill.
You may not qualify for a second mortgage if you have not gathered enough equity in your home. Additionally, you can pay additional fees for setting up the second mortgage which makes this type of loan expensive to process.
You can qualify for a secured or unsecured line of credit or overdraft in order to offset your debts. You will then have to make a minimum payment at the end of each month to cater for the amount you’ve spent to settle debts. With lines of credit, you can enjoy the lowest interest rates and flexible monthly payment options. You can pay for the line of credit as slow or as fast as you want to.
Lines of credit and overdrafts can have major drawbacks too. For a start, if you do not discipline yourself to pay a certain amount each month, you will never get out of debt. You could also find yourself making higher minimum monthly payments than what you expected when the Bank of Canada prime rate goes up.
Debt can also be consolidated by using your credit cards. In this case, you simply consolidate all your credit card balances into one with a lower interest rate. You can then make a set monthly repayment for the card. The card will have a minimum monthly payment but you can choose to pay more than that to pay off your debt faster.
The good thing with using credit cards to consolidate debt is that you can get one with a low promotional interest rate. It’s also going to be easier for you to keep track of all your debts and make timely payments when they are all in one place. Additionally, you get to enjoy the flexible monthly payments. You can pay higher than the minimum amount and if you experience any emergencies, you can go back to the minimum payment.
Consolidating with credit cards has some drawbacks too. For a start, you may not qualify for a low rate card due to poor credit rating. Additionally, if you take a card with a low promotional interest rate, it may expire within a few months and you’re back to high interest rates. Most importantly, if you fail to change your spending habits, you’ll end up extending your debt and taking many more years to clear it up.
In this case, all your debts are consolidated into a single monthly payment which you will make to a credit counselling organization. The organization will then forward the money to the respective creditors. A credit counselor will send the creditors a proposal that shows you are fit for this program and they must agree before going forward with it.
In most cases, the debt management program can allow you to pay off all credit within 3 years at low or no interest rate. However, this has a negative effect on your credit score until 2 years after finishing the program.
