Families who we’ve helped with over $300 million of unmanageable consumer debt resolved every year.
Should you use a credit counselor? Is bankruptcy the right option for your situation? At 4 Pillars, we help you find the most effective debt option for your situation. Our goal is to help you resolve your immediate financial crisis, immediately fix your cash flow, and rebuild your financial future with ongoing education.
Each situation is different. Think of us as an independent advocate, helping YOU decide which option will most effectively deal with your debt and allow you to regain control of your financial future. From your local bank to Licensed Insolvency Trustees to credit counseling to debt refinancing—there are many different types of options (all with their own costs, pros, and cons) trying to win your money. Despite what they might tell you, any company or professional (including free credit counseling) benefits financially from you choosing them to deal with your debt.
4 Pillars offers an independent view. The best option might be that you consolidate your debt through refinancing or that you file a consumer proposal with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. There might even be an opportunity for you to deal directly with your creditors to reduce your debt. Either way, 4 Pillars offers guidance, experience, and solutions to solve your debt challenge based on what will be best for your long-term financial recovery.
You’ve seen the headlines. Canadians are greatly overextended in debt, a paycheque away from serious trouble, and further at the mercy of the vast financial system that controls most of our lives.
The stakes are high. The game is rigged. And yet, most Canadians know little about how the debt world really works. Even worse, they don’t know that with a little knowledge any Canadian can make the debt system work for them, instead of against them.
This book is a short guide to tipping the debt scales back in your favour. This book will be your weapon against debt, your financial education that should have been taught in high school, and hopefully a cold dose of common sense to help you avoid falling deeper into those financial traps that attempt to reduce our ability to build long-term wealth and divert our paychecks to the banks, credit cards, and high-interest lenders.
To help better serve those facing financial challenges, 4 Pillars will never charge a debt advisory fee or any upfront fees.
Fees should never be a barrier for people to get the help they truly need. We want the best solution for consumers to build a stronger financial recovery.
Our role is an advocate for the debtor, placing their needs first and foremost, focused above all else on finding the most effective solutions to deal with their debt.
Why is financial support and rebuilding credit so important?
With proper support, a person can recover from their first insolvency, but a second insolvency is both financially and mentally devastating. It is anticipated that a whopping 24% of Canadians filing under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) each year will be doing so for a second time within a 10 year period. Due to the ongoing financial education and rehabilitation programs provided, less than 2% of 4 Pillars clients face a second insolvency.
All 4 Pillars clients have a strong desire to move from financial crisis to wealth creation; many of whom can fulfill their dreams of homeownership and overall financial security. But first, we must support them through the challenging transition period.
Credit history has a significant influence on the livelihood and well-being of individuals. Ensuring accurate information on your credit reports is crucial to our client’s success. This is especially important when personal bankruptcy or a consumer proposal is part of their credit profile.
4 Pillars advocates for the debtor—not the creditor. We're one of the only companies in the debt industry with this approach to educate debtors on all options to resolving financial crisis so they can make informed decisions.
Begin with a free, independent review of your financial situation.
