Do your homework before going to places like this. When I spoke with them they talk about how the government sets prices. While that is true they do NOT have your best interests at heart... only their own. Hoyes is good to go to once you have exhausted all your options. I have seen people file when they had so many other options but the lawyer just wanted to get paid. Consumer proposals and bankruptcies stay on your credit report for 7 years. BE WARNED

First of all I was having 30% garnished wages off of each pay cheque. I was losing money ! I decided after doing research to do a consumer proposal and it started June 2019 . I am glad to say I finished January 5, 2022. I paid it off in half the time . My credit took a huge hit . Once I was in my consumer proposal I paid $75 bi-weekly and it was so much more manageable . So thankful for this opportunity and I didn’t have to declare bankruptcy. I got approved for 2 credit cards , 2 loans while in a consumer proposal. You have 5 years to complete your consumer proposal. I suggest paying it off sooner. It stays on your credit report for 3 years . The key takeaways from my experience. Making your payments on time , don’t use more than 30% of your credit , if you don’t have the money don’t buy it , save your money . Thank you Hoyes for helping my financial future . If you’re hesitant I say go for it as it helped me and the payments are very low in comparison to consolidation and bankruptcy.

From the very first time I spoke to Alison I knew I had made the right connection during a time that was extremely stressful and embarrassing for me. Alison gave me a detailed description of the options available to me and it was obvious that bankruptcy was the only option that made sense for my situation. My initial appointment was set up quickly and the rest is history as they say. The whole process was painless and I was put at ease immediately . The relief I felt was wonderful. Any time I had a question all I had to do was send an email and I quickly received a response/answer. Thank you Alison...and the Hoyes, Michalos team!

I did a lot of research when looking into consumer proposals and bankruptcy. Hoyes, Michalos & Associates were by far the best. I sent an email with some questions on a Sunday and had a response from a human on the other end within 30 minutes. The staff are amazing. They care about their clients. They are with you every step of the way and work with you without feeling like your being judged. If your looking for a great team to guide you throughout your chapter of a consumer proposal or bankruptcy they have your best interests in mind. Thank you for all you have done for me to make this journey less painful.

I really want to encourage anyone who is thinking of reaching out, to take the leap and do so. This team is so warm and understanding, I am so grateful for them and am so glad I decided to make this call.

In my free consultation, Benny was so helpful and supportive. We talked about all my options. It was totally painless.

I went in overwhelmed and scared, but after talking to Benny and Janette, I left feeling so hopeful and confident. The biggest weight lifted.

You really have nothing to lose, I promise these guys are so understanding and approachable. Free consultation. Seriously just call them.

Good luck :)

I was determined to resolve my debt issues on my own. I tried for months and actually got further behind and increasing my debt. I turned to Hoyes, Michalos & Associates for help. Meg was totally there for me, she understood and valued my reluctance to seek help. My debt consolidation has now been resolved and I only have 2 equal and manageable payments per month and the service does not stop there. I have follow up consultations, Zoom meetings and resources to further help me budget and rebuild my credit standing.
Thank-you Meg and Ted for helping me through a very stressful time.

My Filing a Consumer Proposal was not as difficult as I had thought. (Billy) was very pleasant and explained everything to me. My first counselling session was great, and the questions were easy and straight forward. I would recommend this company . It's is surprising how less stressful you become once you know your are free of debt.

$2,340 vs $72,125 - What would you rather pay?!

My debt was $72,125.

After I declared bankrucpy, I had to pay $65 every week for nine months. After that, I was discharged and debt free!

$2,340 vs $72,125!

They not only saved me $70,000, they saved me from the stress, anxeity that came along with it.

And, I have just qualified for a new credit card!

FRESH START!

Thanks Rebecca, and the Windsor Branch!

Your services were more effective in curing my financial stress than a Clozapine, followed by a Joint, chased with a Beer ;)

The council I received from Maureen was very thorough and helpful. Her kindness and warmth shone through, I never felt judged. Working with Maureen gave me peace of mind and lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. Her counselling sessions were very informative and set me on a path to succeed in my financial goals by changing my budgeting strategy so I can succeed.
