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

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!

Money Mentors provided me with a solution that was easier, far less stressful, and perfectly suited to my situation. Ms. Yve, was my counselor, and she was an amazing person to work with. She made sure all my questions were answered in a timely manner and was always there to check in on me, offering assistance whenever needed and ensuring I stayed on the right track. I highly recommend Money Mentors to anyone struggling with debt and looking for the best solution to manage their finances and ease the stress on their shoulders. Their counselors are truly amazing, their services is exceptional, and they offer a fantastic debt management program.

I actually dealt with Sherie in Edmonton. My first meeting with her was the best thing I ever did as she helped me feel comfortable in my quest to pay off 38000 dollars. No guilt or blame or feeling bad involved. 58 months later, I am debt free. Imagine that! Woohoo! I would strongly suggest that anyone who can if they owe, should go to Money Mentors. You'll feel great because you paid your debt off. Your credit is affected for 2 years rather than 6 and you will feel like you achieved a great thing.

I think it's a good service but I don't like how they push certain services. I felt uncomfortable talking to the person about my financial concerns. I don't feel comfortable calling again

Money mentors literally gave me a better life. I was paying so much interest that I wasn't paying the debt down. I did that for years. They put me on an affordable plan and now I'm on a path to being debt free

Yve was so supportive through my debt repayment journey. Money mentors was a great program. I found them when I was at my Lowest point and thought I was never going to get out of debt.

I am so grateful that I reached out to Money Mentors, as suggested by a friend who had previously used their services. My counsellor (Yve) was so knowledgable and kind, and truly just wanted to provide me with helpful and useful information that pertained to my unique financial situation. I now have a plan moving forward that will work for me, and they will continue to support me in the future as well. I would highly recommend anyone having any sort of financial issues, to reach out and just get information. They are so helpful and it's free for your first consultation! Best decision I've made. Thanks again!

Yve was very knowledgeable and gave me the right recommendations for my personal situation. If you’re on the fence about talking to Money Mentors, just do it!I came out of the appointment feeling relieved to have a plan. She was non judgemental and a pleasure to speak with.

I had a very positive experience meeting with Yve. Financial issues can be very isolating or shameful - sometimes just having someone else to talk to, who knows the subject, can be just what you need to get the ball rolling.

Christa Vorra

1668051954

Our councillor Yve was extremely easy to talk to and we didn't feel like we were being judged about our financial mistakes. It was very much approached with a "what's past is past, let's move forward" attitude. And it gave us so much confidence to move on and make changes. The tools provided make everything really easy to track/understand. And I feel more than welcome to reach out with additional questions. Yve even scheduled a second appointment with us to make sure nothing got missed. Fantastic experience.

Angela Lindland

1667447478

My coach, Yve Bouchie was amazing! She was non judgmental, compassionate, and gave me really practical tools for a future debt-free life. It's embarrassing to admit you need help with your finances, but Money Mentors truly gives a hand up with their OPD (Orderly Payment of Debts) program when you need creditor relief.

I had a great experience and I walked out feeling confident about the plan and I definitely recommend coming here for answers to any questions you may have. They also have great online courses and everything was free!

My husband and I hit some rough times a few years ago. We lost our house, we lost our car and we could not afford to live. We are honest people who tried our best to work with every company and pay what we could... Then we found Money Mentors. This company were AMAZING to us. They worked with us when my husband got laid of due to Covid. They worked with us when I got pregnant and were ALWAYS there to offer options and a kind word when it was needed. We are completely debt free now! They took us from a lifetime of debt to paying it all off in a few short years and being able to male our credit great again. If you're struggling and feeling out of choices, I strongly urge you to at least give them a call. My husband and I went into their office suspiciously and came out of there feeling like the weight of the world was gone! Now we are debt free and we'll on our way to building up a VERY successful life for ourselves and our children. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Having just finishing our OPD with the help of Money Mentors, just wanted to let people know that they were a great help. We never knew how we would deal with our debt but they made things easy for us. I would recommend anyone having financial issues to sit down and talk with them.

Yve was very helpful in helping to prepare a budget even with complicated circumstances. She took the time necessary to look at all aspects, ask pertinent questions and give needed advice. She revisited the budget with us the following year and helped us make important changes after the COVID year.
