As a debtor advocate with 4 Pillars, I work solely on behalf of the individuals, families, and small businesses in Kitchener, Ontario, who are seeking unbiased advice and manageable debt solutions that will put them back on the path to financial success as quickly as possible.
I take a holistic approach to helping Kitchener residents that are struggling with debt, by providing a debt plan that includes comprehensive budgeting, debt reduction, and credit rebuilding services.
Whatever your financial goals are, our Clients for Life philosophy at 4 Pillars Consulting can assist you in your journey to achieve your goals, by guiding and coaching you through the steps necessary to eliminate your debt and rebuild your credit.
What makes our debt help services different from others is the fact that 97% of our clients successfully complete our program to become debt free. We present solutions that are legal, viable, and acceptable to the creditors while keeping the best interests of our clients our utmost priority.
You have likely come to this website for one or more of the following reasons:
4 Pillars Consulting Group offers a wide range of consulting services in the areas of debt help and debt elimination, budgeting, and credit rebuilding. Each service is unique and can be tailored to meet individual circumstances.
A few months ago I was referred to a Kitchener resident who was in a dire predicament. This individual was being harassed by debt collectors looking for payment on his two outstanding debts. He also had a first and second mortgage that were at very high rates due to his poor credit history. The mortgage broker that referred him informed me that if he was not able to have these debts reported as settled on his bureau within a month, that he would have to renew his mortgages at the current rates as opposed to getting a new 1st mortgage at the much lower rates than most individuals were enjoying in today's economy.
I went right to work and was able to coach the client to obtain settlement offers within 2 weeks, saving him in excess of $29,000 allowing him to now obtain the much lower mortgage rate, saving him hundreds of dollars each month in cash flow as well.
In the area of debt elimination, most people have heard of bankruptcy - or even know someone who has declared bankruptcy in the past.
I want to take you through some of your debt repayment and debt settlement options. These are the typical options available for my Kitchener clients.
If this information is overwhelming (I know this can be a stressful time), feel free to email me and I can explain over the phone or in-person (if you live in the tri-cities area).
Bankruptcy is governed by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, which allows for the legal forgiveness of debt.
Bankruptcy should be regarded as a very last resort in dealing with debt. We can help you avoid bankruptcy unless you decide that it really is the only option.
The reasons for wanting to avoid bankruptcy are many:
If you decide bankruptcy is the best option, we will represent you through the entire process, and work to minimize the impact of the bankruptcy as much as possible. We will also help you rebuild your credit after the process.
Another very effective method of dealing with debt is through a consumer proposal. A proposal is simply an offer to unsecured creditors that we can structure on your behalf and your ability to pay, where you only pay back a portion of the total unsecured debt owed.
We work with you to structure the deal so that it provides the maximum benefit to you, meaning the payment through the proposal is as low as possible.
The proposal gives you the same legal forgiveness for your debt as filing bankruptcy. A major difference compared to bankruptcy is that the creditors get to vote on whether they will accept the proposal.
This again is where our company's experience is a huge benefit to you - through having structured over 30,000 of these deals over the past 12 years, our track record of success in getting these proposals accepted is outstanding.
The biggest benefit you will notice from a proposal is the dramatic improvement in your monthly cash flow. As an example, it would not be unusual for someone with $50,000 in consumer debt to end up with an accepted proposal where the payments would be as low as $300 a month over 60 months.
Trying to pay this amount of debt off on your own, just through discipline and some good luck, would otherwise require monthly payments of between $1200 and $1500 per month for the same time period.
Budgeting support is also a service we offer at 4 Pillars Consulting Group. We all know the importance of budgeting and understanding how we spend our money and what our household expenses are. How many people take the time to prepare and follow a formal budget? If you do a budget, that is excellent - keep up the great work! If you don't budget, perhaps it is time to start.
Budgeting is not difficult. It is a little time consuming - at least at the beginning until you get in the habit of tracking and monitoring spending. In very simple terms, a budget is taking into account how much income comes into the home and how much expense the household has each month and containing those expenses to fit within the amount of available income.
We will be happy to help you develop a budget for your household and work with you as you adjust that budget regularly to ensure you are on track. Since budgeting also involves goal setting, we will guide you through setting realistic goals and targets for the future and then building your budget to achieve those outcomes.
So, your debt is stressing you out and you know you need some debt help, but what should you expect when you contact us?
At the end of this call, I will also set up a time for our face-to-face free consultation where I will review all of your options for dealing with your debt.
