overloaded…

She had a debt of over $30,000 with a $24,000 income before tax. 3 credit cards, car loan, student loan, loans for furniture and 2 other loans totaling $30,000. I suggested for her to come look at your website but she ignored it… since then she`s got 1 HUGE loan from the bank, aka debt consolodation loan. the bank asked her to sign a 10 year loan!! at about 13.5%. Is it too late to use the other alternatives on your website or even go bankrupt to escape this ridiculous debt??

Yes, this person may still avail themselves of the other solutions listed on the site: debt management, a consumer proposal or personal bankruptcy. Unfortunately, you can’t do this for them – they have to make the call themselves.

I should tell you that it is unusual to hear that a bank has given someone a consolidation loan like the one you have described. The interest rate isn’t out of line with the terms usually granted, but the 10 years is quite strange.
