When faced with overwhelming debt, seeking professional assistance is crucial to regain control of your finances and find a path towards a debt-free future.

Individuals are burdened by debt and typically have two options for seeking debt relief: a licensed insolvency trustee (LIT) or a debt consultant. While both professionals may offer debt relief services, it is crucial to understand the significant differences and the undeniable benefits of working with a licensed insolvency trustee.

In this article, we will delve into why choosing a LIT for debt relief is advantageous and essential for securing your financial well-being in Canada.

Expert Knowledge and Qualifications: Licensed Insolvency Trustees are federally regulated professionals with in-depth knowledge of Canada’s insolvency laws and procedures. This expertise ensures they can provide accurate and up-to-date advice tailored to your financial situation.

Comprehensive Debt Solutions: Licensed Insolvency Trustees offer a wide range of debt relief solutions, including consumer proposals and bankruptcy filings. Debt consultants, on the other hand, may have limited options and may not be equipped to handle complex debt scenarios.

Legal Protection: Licensed Insolvency Trustees provide safeguards that protect you from creditor harassment, wage garnishments, and further legal actions. Debt consultants do not have the same legal authority or protection.

Creditor Negotiations: Licensed Insolvency Trustees act as intermediaries between you and your creditors. They negotiate with creditors on your behalf, striving to reduce interest rates, eliminate late payment penalties, and develop a manageable repayment plan. Debt consultants may lack the experience and relationships to navigate these negotiations effectively.

Ongoing Support and Guidance: Licensed Insolvency Trustees provide ongoing support throughout the debt relief process. They offer financial counselling, budgeting advice, and resources to help you rebuild your financial health. Their objective is to ensure you achieve long-term financial stability. Debt consultants may offer limited support, primarily focusing on finding a quick solution without addressing the underlying financial issues.

Trust and Accountability: Licensed Insolvency Trustees are licensed professionals who are held to a high standard of accountability. Choosing a LIT ensures you’re working with a trusted advisor committed to guiding you through the debt relief process ethically and transparently.

Additionally, On June 27th, 2023 The Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB) is continuing to help Canadians experiencing severe financial difficulties find the right debt solution. These efforts include increasing consumer awareness about the unregulated Debt Advisory Marketplace and helping consumers identify reliable sources of debt assistance.
