Debt Solutions
Let us help you find YOUR debt solution. Find out more about your options:
Bankruptcy is a legal process, designed for the honest unfortunate debtor. It is designed to assist an individual out of debt so that they may have a fresh financial start. When you file for or declare personal bankruptcy, you are voluntarily entering into a legal process that provides you with immediate protection against any further action by your creditors.
A Consumer Proposal is a formal offer to creditors to settle outstanding debts. If you are having difficulties making your monthly payments, falling behind or getting overwhelmed by your debts; you are not alone. Just like you, thousands of individuals in Alberta and throughout the Maritimes have sought the protection and help of a consumer proposal.
Credit counselling is the best way to provide education on proper money management. This includes budgeting, proper use of credit and debit , and also repayment of debt. We can help you develop a monthly budget and assist you with following your budget to reduce your debt.

Talk to a Trustee
We take your questions very seriously. If you have a question about your debt, please contact us. We Can Help™
Will I lose my house?
If you have a house or vehicle secured by financing or mortgage you can keep them as long as the loan is current and remains up to date. Each situation is different, and your home will be discussed with you at a consultation. If your property has any equity, you should discuss this with your trustee.
If I declare bankruptcy does my spouse have to?
No, your spouse can decide how they need to proceed based on their own finances. Sometimes it makes sense for couples to file together and other times it makes sense for only one partner to file a proposal or bankruptcy.

Consumer Banking Laws – Know Your Banking Rights

Stay Away from Unregulated, Unlicensed Debt Advisors & Unregulated Financial Advisors
Unlicensed Debt Advisors are popping up everywhere and consumers need to know who they are, what they do, and why they are not the best option for financial advice. I am encouraged by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy

I do NOT regret choosing them. From first contact (I spoke with Kelley) everything was clear and shame free. The response from this company is INCREDIBLY quick.
The people are warm and don't ask for more information then needed.
I started this with a lot of shame and defeat. But I'm coming out of it with a lot less stress and my head held a little higher. And I can see a future a little clearer now.
Thank you Allan Marshall & Associates!!! read less

Very informative and understanding. She never made me feel poorly about my financial situation. At the signing meeting I worked with Glenn via virtual signing. He was very nice, and explained everything so I could understand what I was signing and agreeing to. Glenn was professional, prompt and never once made me feel embarrassed or ashamed of my financial situation. I was nervous to start this process and was upset with myself but Glenn was great to work with. I appreciated his help and felt better once we ended the call. Thank you for you help Glenn. read less

After quickly leaving an abusive marriage penniless, having to move across the country, and unable to work due to health issues, I was drowning in debt. I was at my lowest trying to make ends meet each month, and becoming more depressed by the day. The staff here are so professional, helpful, while kind and easy going at the same time. It seemed that they truly cared. They listened and answered all of my questions, never once making me feel inferior because of my situation. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone struggling financially. They even explain how to get your credit back on track afterwards and they teach you how to budget. read less

I called them today and spoke with Olivia and she guided methrough the right path. I did not want bankruptcy, I wanted to pay my debts, but had lots of NSF on my bank account, that was making it difficult to pay my bills with $300 worth if NSF. By the time I would get the little income I receive monthly. Almost everything was gone, without even paid one single bill. That would make me so stressed out, I couldn't handle it anymore. When I spoke with Olivia, she explained my options, I ended up with a credit proposal. She explained everything so well and made me feel so comfortable. I hope that anybody that needs some type of help with credit issues is to contact Allan Marshall & Associates Ltd. They will help you out and trust me. You will be so relieved afterwards that you made that call. Absolutely worth it. I had a video consultation with Rob Johnson from the Moncton office. This guy is very pleasant to deal with. He doesn't rush you to do anything, also if you have anh questions,don't hesitate to ask as for me I am a shy person, but dealing with Rob, made me feel right at home. He explained everything so well. I'm really happy I got the chance to deal with Rob, as I had heard great things about this man. What an incredible team they have at Allan Marshall & Associates Inc. If you're stressed out about debts, give them a call or you can file an online request at wecanhelp.ca You won't be dissapointed. Thanks again to all for the incredible service.. read less
