There are a wide variety of credit counselling services operating across Canada. Typically, these credit counselling organizations review your current financial situation, provide budgeting advice and speak with creditors on your behalf about a more reasonable repayment schedule. If your situation is appropriate for the program offered, the credit counselling organization will collect funds from you and place them in a trust account for payment to your creditors. Before committing to any program, you should fully understand the costs and administration fees charged by the organization, since these charges may increase your total payment obligation and reduce the amount available for distribution to your creditors. Generally, the total amount you will pay will be equal to the total amount of your unsecured debt.

On the other hand, bad debt—like unmanaged credit cards and payday loans—can spiral out of control and lead to significant financial stress if not managed carefully.
