Debt Issues, Who Can You Trust? 4 Pillars Ottawa

By Shawn Frank

Debt Issues, Who Can You Trust?   4 Pillars Ottawa

“Pick a card, any card!!”  Card tricks can be fun.  A little slight-of-hand, misdirection, and knowledge about human behavior and you could be a pretty good magician, or con artist. But the reality is, when you pick your card, the deck is already stacked against you.  Still, it’s just a harmless trick.

When it comes to dealing with debt issues, the stakes are a little higher, the magicians a little more skilled; the smoke and mirrors used to draw you in are deliberately keeping you from the truth.  Pick a card.  Pick them all.  There was a time when creditors were practically giving them away.  And why not.  As your debt grows, your creditors start raking in the big bucks.  Since your minimum payment barely covers your principle, interest rates go up, late payments mean additional fees and penalties.  So while you’re being distracted by travel points, and nominal cash rewards, you are slipping deeper into debt.  Now, you have debt issues.

Debt equals stress.  The larger your debt, the greater your inability to repay. It all adds up to more debilitating stress in your life.  Your savings are gone along with any financial safety net.  Your debt doesn’t just control your financial health, it impacts your emotional and physical well-being as well.  You’re ruled by hopelessness and fear, self-doubt and shame.  Debt also leaves you vulnerable to someone claiming to be able to help, someone who may actually leave you worse off than you started.

Some things to consider when looking for debt help:

  • If they aren’t charging you, how they’re getting paid.
  • Get references. (Remember, they should be working for you!)
  • Get a detailed explanation of how they work and what exactly they are going to do to help you. (Remember, a successful debt settlement strategy goes beyond your debt, it should help you create a sustainable budget and provide a comprehensive credit rebuilding program.)
  • Are you greeted with genuine compassion or are you scolded and shamed for creating your debt.
  • Are you able to talk to them in person or are you dealing with a call center.
  • Does it feel like these people genuinely care and understand your situation, or are you treated like number and offered a cookie cutter, one size fits all, debt plan.

 

Your debt situation is as unique as you are, so your goals need to be taken into consideration before any debt settlement strategy is created. I’m Shawn Frank, your 4 Pillars Debt Specialist in Ottawa.   In order to move forward and regain control over your future, the elimination of your debt is crucial.  This isn’t a trick.  There is nothing up my sleeve.  Simply put, it’s my job to ensure your debt is dealt with in the manner that best suits you and your situation.

Is 4 Pillars Debt Solutions a Scam?

You’ve heard it before… “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is”.  And I’ve had more than one client tell me that 4 Pillars seems too good to be true. However, over the last 15 years we have created a debt program that we sincerely believe is the most successful and most comprehensive in Canada.  Yes, we do charge a fee for our services. But, with that fee comes the assurance that we are not impartial.  We represent your best interest and we have no obligations or duties to your creditors. We work for you.

Not every debt company can make that claim so it’s important to do your due diligence and check them out. Many other debt relief organizations are either funded by your creditors or have a fiduciary duty to them.  At 4 Pillars we believe this one simple fact.  If you are in the debt advisory business, you either represent the debtor or your represent the creditor.  You can’t do both and remain impartial.   That would be like bribing a politician who is already taking bribes from your competitor.  Nobody wins in the end.

For over 15 years 4 Pillars Debt Solutions has been getting Canadians out of debt, and giving them the tools to stay debt free.  As a result, 97% of 4 Pillar’s clients have successfully completed their debt restructuring programs and are now experiencing freedom from debt.  And with our help they have been able to rebuild their credit, quickly and effectively. So, by the time their debt’s been paid off, their credit score is in a very good place.

As a 4 Pillars Debt Specialist I am very proud of the clients I’ve helped thru their debt issues. And I swell with pride when I see them reach for the future they once thought impossible.  Many are now home owners, some have started their own businesses, and others are finally able to retire with confidence.
