What are the warning signs that you have too much debt or are about to lose financial stability ?
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Over time, do you use more of your income paying debts?
- Do you pay your bills late because you don’t have enough money?
- Have you stopped paying some of your debts?
- Are you using cash advances on your card(s) to pay for essentials like groceries, utilities, etc.?
- Have your savings decreased or maybe you don’t have savings anymore ?
- Have you borrowed money from friends or relatives?
- Have debt collectors started to call or send overdue notices?
- Are you constantly worried about money?
- Are you and your spouse fighting over money?
If you answered yes to more than a couple of those questions, you have a debt problem.

We are here to help you to find the right strategies to deal with your debt. Here some examples:
Debt snowball: You focus on paying off your smallest debt first (while paying minimums on the others), then roll the amount you had been paying on it into payments on the next largest.
Debt avalanche: You pay off your debt with the highest interest rate first (while paying minimums on the others), then the next highest rate, and so on. It may save you time and money over the course of your debt payoff.
Debt settlement: You offer a lump-sum payment to a creditor that reduces the amount owed by 25-50%. If accepted, the debt is settled, however, this will have negative impact on your credit history.
Debt consolidation: Combine multiple old debts into a single new one, ideally at a lower interest rate, making payments more manageable or the payoff period shorter. There are a few ways to consolidate debt, including balance transfer cards and personal loans.
Debt management plan: If you’re facing a mountain of credit card debt and not making much progress, we can help you to set up a debt management plan to cut your interest rate and put you on a repayment plan.
