The details matter more than the headline when you evaluate Debt Relief.

Start with the total cost of borrowing, then work backwards to the monthly payment you can genuinely afford. Confirm the lender is licensed in your province, read the disclosure document before you sign, and keep a copy for your records.

A fair comparison uses one amount, one term, and the same questions for every lender. Change the term and the ranking can change with it.

• What a missed payment costs and how it is reported.
• Whether the lender reports to the credit bureaus.
• Whether extra payments are allowed without a penalty.
• How long the lender takes to deposit funds after approval.
• Whether the rate is fixed for the whole term or can change.
• The payment date and how repayment is collected.

Take your time with the comparison. A rushed decision on the amount or the term is harder to undo than a slow one.

Consumer Proposals in Yukon

Canadian borrowers have real choices when it comes to Debt Relief, and the differences between offers are usually in the fine print.

Write down the APR, the total cost of borrowing, and every fee, then compare the same amount and term across at least three lenders. Confirm the lender is licensed in your province, read the disclosure document before you sign, and keep a copy for your records.

Comparing offers properly means holding the amount and the term constant. Otherwise a longer term can look cheaper simply because the cost is spread over more years.

• Whether extra payments are allowed without a penalty.
• How long the lender takes to deposit funds after approval.
• Whether the rate is fixed for the whole term or can change.
• The payment date and how repayment is collected.
• Whether a co-signer or joint applicant changes the rate.
• What documents the lender requires before it releases funds.

If a lender will not put the terms in writing, treat that as a reason to look elsewhere.
