Canada’s debt consolidation companies
are very similar to the American version. The credit counselors
themselves have a few different guidelines they must follow, however,
the end result is nearly identical for both countries. Most Canadian
debt consolidation companies require a minimum debt amount of $3000.
Few will touch a situation for less than that amount.
Canadian debt consolidation companies offer the same service as their American
counterparts, providing a service that will negotiate with your creditors in
order to lower your monthly payment into something more manageable. It works
on the loan principle, whereas the loan you applying for will go to pay off your
debts and the you owe that money back to the lender, and the debt consolidation
company then gets a cut for putting the whole show together.
You must have a steady, provable income in order to qualify, and some companies
will require that you own your own home while others will be more lenient about
your assets. These companies can do nothing regarding your asset payments. Loans
such as car loans, home loans, boat loans, and any other loan or monthly payment
that is attach to an actual asset does not count toward your debt consolidation
loan.
Using a credit counselor can impact your credit. For some people, it will be
a better impact while for others the impact will be worse. Check your facts and
ask tons of questions before signing anything.
Debt consolidation is not a cure for undisciplined spending habits. While interest
rates may be advertised at lower than low percentages, keep in mind that your
credit rating is the determining factor for whether or not you even qualify for
the loan, not to mention at what interest rate you qualify for. The vast majority
of those who use their home as collateral for debt consolidation loans find themselves
with at least as much debt within the following two years. This means that despite
the fact that they went through the steps of credit counseling, they did not
receive the information they needed (either through selective hearing or poor
counseling) to rearrange their spending habits adequately. There is no quick
fix for credit problems, and you can’t look to more credit to solve credit
problems. However, you can follow the steps of the program and come out ahead
of the game.
Credit counseling and debt consolidation are designed to give you an edge to
getting yourself out of debt. Nobody can offer you a magic loan that will take
care of everything for you. Rather, you have to get to the heart of the matter,
which is often the danger of impulse buying. A good credit counselor can help
you understand how you got to this point in the first place an how to avoid ending
up here again.
Canadian debt consolidation companies are held to higher standards of disclosure
than American companies. This means that the down side of credit counseling and
debt consolidation should be explained to you in the beginning, before any paperwork
is signed and before you realize that your credit rating has actually suffered
instead of improving. For many, their credit rating improves. It is just vital
to have the information beforehand to eliminate unwanted surprises reflected
in your credit score.
