DEBT RELIEF SOLUTIONS WITH D. & A. MACLEOD COMPANY LTD.
Understanding that facing debt can be overwhelming, we offer compassionate, personalized solutions to help you take back control and move toward a brighter financial future. Our solutions include:
Consumer Proposals
A consumer proposal is a formal agreement with your creditors to repay a portion of your debt over time. It’s a powerful alternative to bankruptcy that allows you to keep your assets and avoid interest charges.
Personal Bankruptcy
When debt spirals out of control, bankruptcy can provide a new beginning. Our team will guide you through the process with compassion and clarity, helping you understand your rights and responsibilities.
Credit Counselling
We provide expert advice and budgeting support to help you manage your finances and avoid future debt. Credit counselling is ideal for those who need guidance but want to avoid formal insolvency proceedings.
Debt Consolidation
Debt consolidation helps you merge multiple debts into a single, more manageable monthly payment. Often resulting in lower interest rates, it can be a great option to simplify your situation and reduce financial stress.
Tax Debt Solutions
Owing money to the CRA can be stressful. We help you explore legal options to reduce or eliminate tax debt through proposals or other relief programs.
Student Loan Assistance
If you’re struggling with student loans, we can help you understand your repayment options and whether relief is available through a proposal or bankruptcy.
Wage Garnishment Help
If your wages are being garnished, we can stop the process and help you regain control of your income through legal solutions.
CERB Repayment Support
If you’ve been asked to repay CERB benefits, we can help you navigate your options and reduce the financial impact.
