Dealing with credit issues is never easy however with Angela`s help and some counselling (and lots of sacrifice and support from my spouse) I was able to put myself back on my feet in 3 years instead of 5 and now at the age of 48 I can say that I am completely debt free( vehicle not included) all thanks to Angela and Powell Associates Ltd. read less

They treated me so much like a real person and not a just another client! They are always available when I have any questions and answer very speedy and accordingly. I never felt lost or in the dust. I felt more confident in my decision making process. Best decision I made wish I reached out sooner! read less

Extremely helpful and always prompt customer service. With their help, I was able to set my family's finances back on track and stop the cycle of ever increasing interest debt.

I use to spend everyday stressed out to the point I’d be physically sick because of debt and the “ not so great “ financial decisions I have made. Cheryl Hodder Was Very understanding and more then willing to help , Cheryl answered all my questions ( I always have A LOT ) and gave me all of my options so I could make a informed decision and on what would be best for me. After just a few conversations, I feel a weight has been lifted off and I’m on my way to a better future and I have a plan . So , I highly recommend they can help you ! Just like they helped me 🙂 Thank You Powell Associates & Cheryl Sincerely William J / Novs Scotia Canada read less

I was given advice to help me to achieve my goals. I was not able to use the service so they offered solutions that involved other people’s services. From my experience I can tell that they are willing to do what it take to help people even if they don’t benefit. read less

Fear of getting some stuffy business person judging my mistakes held me back from seeking help. Who I got when I finally took that step was Cheryl Hodder. She was kind, patient and very understanding. She explained everything in detail and made sure I understood. I didn't even know what a Consumer Proposal was before meeting with Cheryl. That first phone call with her gave me the first feeling of hope I had felt in a very long time. The relief after that first visit... I literally cried (bawled my face off is more accurate) while thanking her. I should not have waited. Not reaching out degraded my living situation, my mental health and my financial situation even further. Every decision has been left up to me and nothing was taken away. Everything I didn't understand was made very clear, in a very kind way. AND she made sure I was comfortable with what I was agreeing to. They are also going to help me with future financial tools! This was the best decision I have ever made towards bettering my life. read less

They have amazing communication and really know how to give information in dealing with debt in a way that makes you feel confident moving forward. There was never any judgment from them and they give so many great resources for you to use in the future. They are also very flexible with their meeting times so that you can work around your schedule. I would recommend them to anyone even if it is just getting basic information on dealing with finances. read less

She helped me on countless occasions whether it be understanding different terms and processes or by responding to my emails very quickly for documents I needed. I think we are too often wracked with shame and embarrassment around financial matters, and we shouldn't be. We all need a little help now and then. We live in a world that pushes us to make incredibly tough decisions, that leaves us behind if we fall. You can work incredibly hard and still end up in a bad financial situation. Please don't let pride make you suffer more than you may already be. Getting out of debt is a hard process, but these folks make it a little bit easier. Life is way too short to feel like you're drowning everyday. read less

Friendly, helpful services that actually work to get you back on track are at the core of their business. They took the time to fully understand my needs, advocated on my behalf, and made sure that I understood the promise and perils associated with their services. I would unreservedly recommend them to anyone who needs these types of services. read less

That didn’t sit well with me. Few months later, repeated messages appearing of Powell Associates I looked into them. From the moment I emailed to inquire options I was treated like a person. They truly understood the circumstances, upfront with different options (not just one); took the time; listened; worked with me. From the moment of inquire to the end result, everyone in between were truly amazing; compassionate; truthful/realistic and simply kind. If you’re dealing with a lot and need resolution, I truly encourage you to contact them! -Amanda P read less

I was constantly late on my bills, maxed out my credit cards and only paying minimum payments. Payday loans crippled me. Stress was real. Started to effect every part if my life. Did this for years. Finally said enough is enough. Contacted Powell Associates. I dealt with one of the associates, David Moffat. He made it so much easier than I ever thought possible. He (they) made you feel listened to, especially at a time when you are not the best version of yourself. If you're reading this and you just can't see a way out, I would recommend Powell above and beyond anyone else in the Maritimes read less

Prior to that the valuation of my investments outweighed any debtload that I was carrying. In an attempt to rectify my family's worsening financial situation I took on more debt and invested in more shares of companies that I already held (dollar cost averaging), that I wrongly thought had hit rock bottom, which was not the case, so my debt level increased.

For 10 years I was able to keep our family afloat financially by shuffling cash advances on various lower interest rate credit cards to make the required minimum monthly payments on others (so robbing Peter to pay Paul).

Naturally I was very ashamed, embarrassed and extremely stressed out at what was happening, a situation that was totally beyond my control with no way out.

Finally in 2018 I made the difficult decision to accurately document our family assets and liabilities and approach Powell Associates Ltd for assistance in finding a solution.

Over the past five years Powell Associates Ltd. have provided a wonderful service in guiding me through the necessary steps to follow after declaring bankruptcy. I recently completed the required financial obligations of my bankruptcy and just received notification from the Court of King's Bench of my bankruptcy discharge.

So five years later despite losing my beautiful custom built home to the bank and a 30 year marriage ending I am finally able to build a new life in retirement.

For anyone out there curently totally overwhelmed by a similar grave financial situation I would strongly recommend that you follow my example and make an appointment to sit down and discuss with Powell Associates Ltd. read less
