Your Summer Survival Plan - A Radio Series on Dealing with Debt in Ontario

It may be the last thing you want to think about on a sunny summer day, but just because you are on vacation doesn't means your bills are going to go away.

At Hoyes, Michalos & Associates we meet with people every day that for one reason or another find themselves unable to deal with their debts. We've got toll free phone numbers, websites, and even this blog - all designed to provide you with enough information to determine whether or not you need help sorting things out.

We know that it can be difficult to make that first call so for the next few weeks we will be appearing live on Ask the Experts, a radio program on AM570 News, on six different Saturdays at noon. The shows will deal with various topics - all focused on providing you with the information you need to decide whether or not it's time to get some help.

This week, I will be appearing live at noon to talk about dealing with collection agents and bill collectors. We've done shows on this topic before, and we've heard the horror stories: the collection agent that calls 10 times a day; the fellow that spends 20 minutes telling your kids what a bad person you are; the woman that tells you to go out and sell your couch or TV in order to make a payment; we've heard them all. On this show we will offer some strategies for dealing with collection agents.

Other topics include dealing with your home if you're in financial trouble, how to deal with the tax man, credit cards, general questions and then finally a show dedicated to consumer proposals - the best kept secret for dealing with debt problems in Canada.

Here's a copy of our schedule.

If you have questions that you would like answered, or if you want to share a story with our listeners please give us a call - if you're too shy for the radio you can e-mail us a question or give us a call during the week at 310-PLAN (no area code required).

Thanks for taking the time to listen - we look forward to hearing from you.
