Money Mentors Calgary - Calgary, Alberta

Money Mentors rescued me from a debt problem I could never seem to overcome. After years of best intentions, trying to be responsible, borrowing from one source to pay another, and then losing my job, it became impossible to just get by another month. The stress and anxiety were bringing me down, and worse, bringing my wife down with me. I feared it would feel like defeat, and an embarrassment, to reach out for help, but I could not have been more wrong.

I reached out to Money Mentors. We met with Alexander Martin who guided us through our options and setting up my OPD program. Alex was fantastic – empathetic, patient, kind, informative and thorough. For the first time in years it felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel. The strain and stress on our immediate lives changed almost overnight.

It has taken some time, but the debt is now cleared. My responsibilities to creditors have been met, which was important to me personally. My wife and I communicate better about finances and budgeting. Now I’m working on gradually restoring my credit record to good standing, with a clear plan and timeline in place to accomplish that.

I can’t imagine getting here without the incredible help of Money Mentors, we’re very grateful.

Thank you, Alex!

Today I finished paying off my OPD program debt! I can’t thank Yve Boucher and the others on the Money Mentors team enough for all of their guidance. Throughout the 2 years that I worked with Yve she was always a call or an email away and I received guidance when I needed it and in a timely manner. I recommend Money Mentors to anyone that is struggling to get back into good financial shape. Shanae!! Meara

Just finished the SCARIEST phone call I've ever made,
I'm finally going to face all the wolves knocking at my door...
Had the privilege & fortune to have spoken with their representative Crystal.
Fingers Crossed to set me on my way to some debt relief in the future,
She could tell I was nervous and edgy and explained the whole process in detail and answered every RIDICULOUS question I had,
Don't know if she was wearing her Cape today because she sure could of...
So here's to a brighter future,
And hopefully some peace of mind.

Highly recommend Money Mentors!

Jason Krausert is an amazing counsellor that really helped me and my mom out today. He was very professional, non-judgmental, and took his time listening to our situation. My mom was a victim of scam and was left with overwhelming debts.

He took the time to thoroughly go over a financial needs assessment with us and provided us with extremely helpful resources and most relevant options to paying off the debt.

We felt lost and overwhelmed but Jason has given us the hope that we can overcome this ordeal.

Thank you Jason and Money Mentors. Please continue the great work you do!

I was drowning in debt—there was so much of it. The calls from creditors didn't stop. My bank was no help.
I contacted Money Mentors to inquire about the OPD program and their advice. I was prepared to dedicate myself to clearing my debts. I was ready to cut up my credit cards. My counselor and I worked through some homework before we created my payback schedule. Since I was determined to pay off this personal debt on my own, I made large monthly payments. The phone calls from creditors stopped, which was a relief.
Despite some difficult months, I am debt free after 56 months! It has not sunk in yet. My perspective has changed from one of spending and worrying about it later to one of saving and planning. Though I still worry about going back into debt, I can always turn to the Money Mentors website for helpful guidance.

We had a life changing experience with Money Mentor ! My wife and I had a loan of almost $100,000 almost 6 years ago. Our lives were suffocating, sometime taking one loan to pay another. I used to work in the University of Calgary, and one day somebody gave me a brochure of Money Mentor and told me about it. We signed up for the OPD program with Stacey Townsend, our Counsellor Lead. Believe it or not, we were able to pay the loan with the help of Stacey of Money Mentor. Stacey was amazing, a very nice and pleasing personality person. Each and every step she guided us over last 6 years. She addressed any of our questions or queries with e-mail thoroughly, and by phone as and when it was necessary. Thank you Stacey. Some people told us that we we're never going to get credit cards or loan or mortgage in future if we go to this program. They were wrong. We were able to get the unsecured credit cards from bank right after we finished the program. We have qualified for the loan and mortgage as well. Money Mentor,s OPD program is great - it indeed gave us a new life ! No question about it. We are grateful to Money Mentor and of course Stacey. I would highly recommend to anyone who are going through hard times. Again thank you Money Mentor and thank you stacey. It is a great organization.

Linda gave an amazing presentation. She shared valuable information in such a way that she made sure everyone understood what was going on. She was attentive, charismatic and extremely passionate. I am grateful to have participated and grown in my financial literacy as well as the ability to further my education in that regard. I look forward to accessing the resources She provided. Thanks Linda!

Thank you so much Alexander!!! The customer service I received was exceptional. I was given two (2) option to pay off my debt without declaring bankruptcy. I did not want to go into bankruptcy. I was given details about both options. At the end of my conversation with the counsellor at Money Mentors I felt relieve and knew I was more than capable of handling my debt in a timely and efficient manner. To say Money Mentors counsellor put me at ease is putting it mildly. I am so glad I made the call for help. Even though I have a budget made out I am going to take the free courses they offer online as I never want to be in this position again. Thank you so much to the Counsellor and all staff for making this incredible outcome possible. Knowing I don't have to go into bankruptcy, lifted my spirits immensely. With much gratitude, my life just got a whole lot better.
