Debt consolidation

Consolidation involves taking new credit and using it to pay off smaller amounts owed to different creditors. This option of debt relief can make repayment of debt a lot more automatic and affordable since the new loan is usually offered at a lower interest rate. It can be a good option if you have several outstanding debts and you’d like to make repayment more manageable. However, consolidation doesn’t eliminate your debt, it just makes it more manageable.

Credit counselling:

You can approach a non-profit credit counsellor to prepare a DMP, commonly known as a debt management plan, that allows you to pay back your debts over a period of time. Your creditors have to accept this option and you only make a single payment to the credit counselling agency every month. The advantage of this option is that you may receive some interest relief that lowers your total debt and makes the monthly repayments more manageable.

Debt settlement:

Another option is an informal debt settlement that you make with your creditors to pay off part of your debt. Consumer proposal: This option involves a legally binding settlement between you and your creditors that will require you to pay a portion of your debts over a period of time, usually a maximum of five years. All debts are then discharged at the end of the proposal period and you can start rebuilding your credit score.
