Debt Consolidation
Combine your loans with debt consolidation in Gatineau and Ottawa
Bernier & Associates can assist you with debt consolidation in Gatineau and Ottawa. In the event of overdue or excessive monthly payments, this simplified loan formula collects your outstanding debt, reduces your payments and helps you regain financial balance.
What is debt consolidation?
This is a loan from a single financial institution. It allows you to combine several pending arrears from credit cards, consumer credit lines or late payments. The advantage of debt consolidation is that it has a single payment term and a loan with interest, all at a substantially lower rate.
The term of a debt consolidation loan is usually determined by the creditor. The institution responsible for the full payment of your initial outstanding debt may request the temporary closure of credit card accounts. This is essential to avoid future over-indebtedness.
Are all debts included in a consolidation?
There are certain exceptions, such as a secured loan for which the creditor holds a movable or immovable mortgage (car loan - mortgage on the house). However, a financial institution may exclude certain debts. Generally, it will consolidate loans and credit cards that relate to consumer debt.

- Have a good credit history
- Hold a job
