JB - Nanaimo, BC


I was both a financial and emotional mess. I was going through a nasty divorce and left to care for my children on limited means. My health is getting worse by stress and growing dance and credit company harassment I wasn't performing in my job. I felt like I was a failure. A friend of mine told me about 4Pillars I was reluctant at first as I was embarrassed of my situation. When I finally met with Sue, I broke down. Sue was amazing. She quietly listened and gave me sound clear instruction. Throughout the process, I was comfortable and confident. 4Pillars staff was excellent with helping me on board. I now recommend family and friends that speak of their personal struggles to go talk to Sue at 4Pillars. Because there is a solution and clear plan to rebuild your life.

SR - Nanaimo, BC

I was so in debt and confused about my money, I had no idea how to handle my dad and my overused income. I came to sue a terrible mess and she explained options and answered all my questions and gave me such a better understanding of money.

SV - Nanaimo, BC


My husband and I were drowning in debt, unable to keep up with our monthly payments due to some unfortunate circumstances. Sue from 4Pillars helped us tremendously and we can now focus on saving for a down payment on a house. It's also a real eye-opener on where all our dollars we're going each month.

D. - Nanaimo, BC


It feels great not to have creditors on my a$$ daily!! Small steps to where I want to be in life, debt free and more!! Thank You for making all of this possible. I'll be forever grateful for all you've done.

JO - Parksville, BC


4Pillars helped me with my debt beyond my expectation. Right now they're helping me with my budgeting, it made me realize many things about handling my finances.

RP - Nanaimo, BC


I saved tens of thousands of dollars

After many years in business I realized I was slowly sucking up equity from my assets to pay bills and slowly the debt started to grow. I thought my business was recession proof but came to realize that it was too late to turn things around with the debt I had incurred. The bigger problem was that the debt was in my name and as I couldn't afford to pay myself wages it really started to snowball to the point where I was in trouble. I met Sue from 4 Pillars and she helped me in a big way. First, she needed a clear picture of all my debts and income, property, vehicles etc. Then she was able to help me develop a plan that would negotiate a better deal with the unsecured creditors. Sue was very thorough and understood where I was coming from and where I needed to be financially. She took control of the process and I just fed her the information she requested. In the end I saved tens of thousands of dollars and the phone calls and letters stopped. I was worried my name would be smeared and I would be an outcast, but it was all private and there was none of that. Sue was professional and excellent in all areas and I am so glad I met her. The best thing about the whole experience with Sue was that she truly cares about her clients and wants to help. I am now free of all unsecured debt and it feels fantastic. I pay cash for things now, I have money in the bank and all my commitments are met on time. It opened doors in my life I didn't know existed and I couldn't be happier! Thanks Sue!

CJ - Nanaimo, BC


I was hesitant at first, I owed around $30,000 or more. I am so thankful that I went with 4Pillars. Myself and FAMILY are so relieved our debt is so much easier to handle. 4Pillars, can be trusted. I will be debt-free in four or five years. Words can't explain the gratitude I feel. Thank you Sue.

CF - Nanaimo, BC


Explained where my debt was accruing, helped break down simple solutions, and long-term goals for our family. Very approachable.

CM - Nanaimo, BC


Dear Sue I so appreciate you and your plan… I sent a friend to you and 4Pillars gave him the opportunity to reduce his accumulated debt into a workable plan. I'm so impressed with this opportunity…

JP - Nanaimo, BC


I have been a client in 4 Pillars for nearly Five Years. My situation five years ago was so dire that I thought it absolutely impossible to avoid bankruptcy and or get out from under the debt load I had at the time which was not far south of $100,000.00. My wife and I were given an option that totally changed both our lives and the way commerce really works. We were counseled on a couple of occasions through the process and in the end, we saw a dignified way to make our financial situation better for all. I have been making my payments on time every month for 56 months. Four more to go! Some months have been challenging, but I KNEW I was obligated to make it work. I have been operating without credit for nearly five years. Believe me, most people's problems have been created by massive debt. I would say I have no problems. I have learned to very much live within my means. Yes, it means giving up the wants that we have or should I say wants that we are taught to want. My life is a bit more frugal. But I am much happier for it.S o when Sue explains to you that there is a better way, I promise you 4 Pillars is a Godsend that should grasp without hesitation!!

G.G. - Nanaimo, BC


I've been coming to 4Pillars for a few months and the restructuring of my debt has left me feeling free and motivated to lead a more successful life. Before coming in I was overwhelmed and felt isolated. Being taught the tools to be aware of where my money is going is an amazing feeling!

S.L. Ladysmith - Nanaimo, BC


My experience with Sue Grubac It felt like one of the lowest times in my life, the day I accepted the fact that my finances were out of control. I was riddled with shame, guilt, and stress. I feared judgement and persecution. During our initial meeting, I broke down emotionally. Sue has a very gentle and kind demeanour. I found her to be very compassionate and empathetic. Within the first thirty minutes of meeting Sue I had a renewed sense of hope and relief. Sue was able to thoroughly explain the consumer proposal process to me without overwhelming me. She is extremely knowledgeable. She’s a natural educator. The follow up planning meetings were extremely helpful. Sue helped me visualize and strategize a future without debt. This was the perfect solution for my situation. As a result I have my life back on track. I would highly recommend this process to everyone.

V.B. - Nanaimo, BC


To whom it may concern we found Sue Grubac to be very professional and efficient in our recent dealings with her. We would recommend her to anyone that is having financial problems in today's economy. We only wish that we had heard about her and 4Pillars sooner as a great weight has been lifted off our shoulders. We are starting to live again.

J & K. Parksville - Nanaimo, BC


Thank you Sue for helping me get my life back on track! Unfortunately I found myself in some financial difficulty due to a few bad decisions, a divorce and a tough economy. I spoke to some bankruptcy trustees who all convinced me that my only choice was a bankruptcy. I met Sue by chance and she had a different approach. As a result of her advice I saved both time and money and was able to get my life back on track almost immediately after following her advice. I am not saying that what’s right for me is right for you, however, if you find yourself in financial difficulty and need some advise you owe it to yourself to discuss your situation with Sue. She helped me immensely and I very grateful for that. Thanks Sue!

R. A. C. - Parksville, BC


I was near exploding, emotionally when I called 4Pillars. A friend suggested 4Pillars when I asked her about bankruptcy. Upon calling 4Pillars and having my first consultation, I felt like I could breathe for the first time in a very long time. Once I gathered the required documents for the proposal I was relieved and surprised at how easy, have staff treated me with non-judgmental attitudes, and really cared about me and my situation. I think the universe for connecting me with 4Pillars!

JS - Campbell River, BC


Sue, I want to thank you again for all the support you provided to me when all of this started and I want you to know that your program saved my financial hardship. You were there when I needed a direction to turn to. Our future looks a lot clearer. I hope more people will find you and your services and trust that it will change their lives for the better. I trusted you from our first meeting because you didn’t judge my situation, but just listened and offered me a solution that worked. I cannot thank you enough for that and will always think of you if someone is in need of your services. I don’t like to visit that part of my life very often but I can now just smile and thank heavens that I have learned how to be a smarter spender.

J.B. - Nanaimo, BC


I didn't quite know whether this was the route I want to go at first, but Sue was very knowledgeable and very helpful, and I was surprised that Tina was the same, it was like working with two friends and it was nice to share a few jokes along the way.

We came to 4pillars with over $130k debt to CRA. 4Pillars helped us gain control of our spending and debt Sue gave us tools for budgeting, saving, rebuilding credit and helped us build skills to save and secure for our financial future.

D.L. Nanaimo - Nanaimo, BC


Sue, I was very concerned when one of my clients asked me how much of her assets she could access for her kids to take care of their tax debt. You did exactly what I had hoped you would be able to do, you set up a plan that saved my clients' hard won assets from being gobbled up in this horrible situation. Thank you very much for helping my client and her family.

Don Dickie - Sun Life Financial - Nanaimo, BC


I was so in debt and confused about money. I had no idea how to handle my debt and my lowered income. I came to Sue a total mess and she explained options and answered all my questions and gave me such a better understanding of money!!

D.V. Port Alberni - Nanaimo, BC


Hi Sue There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for the guidance you have shown me through my difficult financial times. I realized that I did not have the ability to fix my debt and when I reached out to you for help you were able to give me guidance and discipline. I must admit, that I felt in a way that I might be scolded, yet you were the complete opposite of that and made me feel positive throughout the entire process. There is no doubt that you are brilliant at your job, but most important you care about your clients. For this I am forever in your “debt” :) Thank you and God Bless

B.A. - Nanaimo, BC

Everything has gone so well with the proposal - it is a wonderful feeling to know there is light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train!! Thank you for your help and guidance.

VW - Campbell River, BC


To whom it may concern, I have had the pleasure of knowing Sue Grubac for just over one year. From our first introduction meeting over coffee, Sue's passion for resolving debt relief with individuals suffering from short sales, insurmountable debt, credit card debts and a variety of other types was very pleasant. I recently referred Sue to a client of mine that was going through a short sale. Without Sue's time, dedication and experience the sale would not have been completed. Not only was she able to negotiate a short sale, but the entire debt load on this individual. Sue helped give this person smile back! I see this client frequently and they are walking tall again. I highly recommend Sue to any individual looking to know more about Credit, credit scores, building credit or if they have a debt load or short sale they don't know how to sort out. Thank you for being there.

Sean McLintock, Cooper McLintock and associates Remax of NANAIMO - Nanaimo, BC


I called in practically in tears, frustrated life circumstances have caused me to fall behind after a divorce. I owed $36,500, with no savings. I tell a friend to call. They will organize your debt, help put goals in place, this is what 4Pillars and Sue showed me.

LK - Nanaimo, BC
