Call for an initial credit counselling interview or just drop by. We’ll discuss your situation and schedule follow-up appointments to help you stay on track. We provide several easily accessible services to help you feel better about your finances.
How to Determine if Credit Counselling Is Right for You
If you’re wondering whether credit counselling in Edmonton is right for your situation, it might be helpful to consider what a counselling session could do for you.

Thank you so much for being there for us, for helping us out and for giving us a second chance at our financial life. If it wasn’t for you we would not be where we are right now and probably would not have been able to move back home this quickly and unexpectedly.
So thank you for all that you have done for us and continue to do. You and your company have been a life saver, changed our lives (both us and kids) in all aspects and ways possible! We will forever be grateful to you and hopefully one day be able to physically see you and give you a HUGE hug.

I am writing this letter to thank you and your Company for your assistance at my hard times. I was your client in 2015-2017. At that period you supported me both financially and even psychologically. Your professional advice and tact helped me greatly to overcome my temporal financial difficulties and to keep the power to live further. Moreover, you and your highly qualified personnel, especially Beth Bui, who was my adviser at that time, did your best. As a result, I even managed to avoid my depression.
Once again, I just wanted to let you know how much I’ve appreciated your advice and assistance.
Yours truly,”

Dear Laverne,

All the best to you in the future, take care.

“Debt Experts
Hi AnneMarie,
I am sorry for the late reply. I received the discharge 2 weeks ago. At work, there’re a lot of things to do. Home is no different. I thank you and A.C. Waring & Associates Inc. very very much for helping me. Without A.C. Waring & Associates and you, my life would have been miserable. With your help and ADDAC classes, I am on the right track. I want to be on this track forever. I don’t want to think of the place that ruined my life. I was not very smart when I made this big mistake.
Thank you AnneMarie,”
