I met Sharon during a networking event and I am so happy that I kept waiting around for all of the people to be done speaking to her so I could as well. She has done and helped me more in the three hours we've spoken during, than others have done in years. The right support system cannot be underestimated and Sharon makes me feel supported and seen, which is gold!

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!

Highly recommend Money Mentors!Jason Krausert is an amazing counsellor that really helped me and my mom out today. He was very professional, non-judgmental, and took his time listening to our situation. My mom was a victim of scam and was left with overwhelming debts.He took the time to thoroughly go over a financial needs assessment with us and provided us with extremely helpful resources and most relevant options to paying off the debt.We felt lost and overwhelmed but Jason has given us the hope that we can overcome this ordeal.Thank you Jason and Money Mentors. Please continue the great work you do!

I was drowning in debt—there was so much of it. The calls from creditors didn't stop. My bank was no help.I contacted Money Mentors to inquire about the OPD program and their advice. I was prepared to dedicate myself to clearing my debts. I was ready to cut up my credit cards. My counselor and I worked through some homework before we created my payback schedule. Since I was determined to pay off this personal debt on my own, I made large monthly payments. The phone calls from creditors stopped, which was a relief.Despite some difficult months, I am debt free after 56 months! It has not sunk in yet. My perspective has changed from one of spending and worrying about it later to one of saving and planning. Though I still worry about going back into debt, I can always turn to the Money Mentors website for helpful guidance.

This review is long overdue. I complete the OPD program in 2018 after being in debt for over 10 years. Without the help and guidance from money mentors I would not be where I am now. Not only have I managed to stay out of debt but from all the financial wellness courses I took, I have thrived. I have my life back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am so satisfied with the efficient service I received from Alexander. I feel like I have more control over my finances and I'm confident in my future financial decision making. Thank you for the resourceful and judgement free advice. I highly recommend having a consultation with Money Mentors, if you have limited financial literacy and need professional advice on how to manage your debt/finances.

My husband and I were struggling financially despite making a very good income. Money Mentors offered us practical solutions to our financial troubles and have set us up much better for success in the future.We worked with Alex and he was kind, informative, and completely non-judgmental. I highly recommend talking with Money Mentors if you are struggling with debt.

A great experience, explained all my options using language that I could understand. Were not condescending towards me or the reasons that led me to use their services. I have and will recommend them to anyone who could use a hand up, not a hand out.M.H.

I wish i had found money mentors sooner. Honest and working on our side and understand our situation. I tried to contact other agency that just tried to rip me off on top of my desperate financial situation. I want to recommend to everyone who need help! Thank you so much Alexander!

If you are in debt and having trouble seeing a way out I can't recommend Money Mentors enough. Right from the start I never felt judged. Everyone was understanding and helpful. While on the program they were very understanding of the few times I did have to make a payment late or split a payment over a few months. I just finished the OPD program and I honestly don't know how I would have made it out of my debt otherwise. Thank you Sheri for your help!

Thank you so much Alexander!!! The customer service I received was exceptional. I was given two (2) option to pay off my debt without declaring bankruptcy. I did not want to go into bankruptcy. I was given details about both options. At the end of my conversation with the counsellor at Money Mentors I felt relieve and knew I was more than capable of handling my debt in a timely and efficient manner. To say Money Mentors counsellor put me at ease is putting it mildly. I am so glad I made the call for help. Even though I have a budget made out I am going to take the free courses they offer online as I never want to be in this position again. Thank you so much to the Counsellor and all staff for making this incredible outcome possible. Knowing I don't have to go into bankruptcy, lifted my spirits immensely. With much gratitude, my life just got a whole lot better.

Alexander has been wonderful. I truly appreciate his kindness and all of his help, and how attentive he is as well.I cannot thank him and Money Mentors enough for helping my family out of a difficult situation. He has never once judged us, made us feel bad about our situation, and truly seemed to care.

Would recommend to anyone that is drowning in debt and unsure what to do. I was incredibly foolish and irresponsible with my finances, and it was catching up to me. Finally I worked up the courage to make an appointment and go.I never in my life thought I would pay back my debts, have collection calls stop - but sure enough the orderly payments of debt program helped me get there. And that monthly payment was a constant reminder to never let myself be so frivolous with my credit again.

Best way to get out of debt. It isn't a get out of jail free card. You pay your debts off with reduced interest making it easier to get back on track. Best of all is you get a financial education to set you up for success once your caught up.

Money mentors saved me from a world of struggle. They were able to lift the burden off and help me achieve financial freedom! They even checked up on me to see how I was doing! If you struggle with credit debt and want to be free of that downward spiral, give them a call, tell em Carson sent you!

Was initially hopeful after contacting this company to help straighten up some debt. While setting up for an OPD, the advisor I talked to told me to ignore all my current credit card payments and to stop answering calls from the collection agency in preparation for the debt that was going to be collected. This ended up being bad advice because the OPD fell through before I could set it up and now I am in an even worse situation than before with my interest payments unpaid and the collection agency even angrier than before. You would think that a money mentoring program would have enough insight to anticipate complications down the road and would not recommend something so irresponsible to a person in financial distress.Once the OPD fell through, the advisor was gone. They left me hanging without a single word of advice. I felt completely abandoned by money mentors. I would not recommend reaching out to them for help.

Finished up my OPD program last year with Money Mentors. Yes, they helped me get out of debt, which was great. But they also found a crafty way to back out of paying back several thousand dollars in fees.I was told at the start I had to finish a course within the first year of the program to qualify for a monthly fee refund, and I was reminded a couple times within that first year to complete it. Fast forward several years, I get to the end of my OPD program to find out that they're not going to give me a single penny of those fees, because there were other courses that I missed. Yes, those courses were in my initial paperwork, but I suppose I was expected to remember every little detail of the fine print for up to 3 years after I signed the paperwork. I don't think it's a coincidence that the reminders stopped after the first year.The person I met with to finalize the OPD said that I could finish the missed courses and make an appeal to management to get the fees refunded. I did exactly that, and all I got in return was a condescending reply from some "lead counsellor". Instead of simply saying that they were still unwilling to refund the fees, she decided to spend the entirety of the email pointing out how wrong I was. I guess she figured that they had all my money, and I had signed all of the final paperwork, so decorum didn't matter anymore?This whole experience could have easily been five stars...but for them to dangle that carrot only to take it away at the very end was quite disheartening.

Thought we were going to get some resolution to our debt. Jumped through all the hoops and it took me 5 months to have everything including income up to where Money Mentors instructed. Returned with great expectations only to be told we needed to make more money before they would help. We finally ended up at BNA debt solutions . They solved our problem and gave us options.

I would NEVER again recommend money mentors to anyone EVER! So much disrespect and lack of professionalism from the staff. I'm absolutely disgusted with the Calgary office staff!DO NOT GO unless you want to made to feel worthless and be degraded.As per myself and 2 others I did recommend.NEVER AGAIN money grabbers!

Horrible experience. The women I met with was not only late, but both rude and condescending; and in short told me I would apparently be wasting my time with them because at the time she claimed it would take at least ten years with them and they'd make money off of me and wouldn't be paid off. No options or programs were mentioned just that I apparently had to pay them. Kind of threw me off since they claim to be a non-profit and this all was stated after only a few minutes based on assumptions and estimates with no verification of any kind before hand. All in all very shifty and wasn't the only awkward conversation/experience I've had with them (had no debts a few years ago so no real need back then) and definitely wouldn't recommend. There are other companies/resources out there with better reputations.

I took a friend here today. They were intensely helpful given the short window of time we had. Paula was able to zero in on the problem areas and offered a number of solutions. Of course she can't spend all day with us. It wasn't a social visit. Some people might be offended by that. I was happy because my time is valuable also. I will be recommending Money Mentors to more people who find themselves having financial difficulties.

I really appreciate the flexibility of being able to take my call on my cell phone during my bus ride commuting to work! Stacy was right to the point to ask why I called. She let me spell out my story then summarized her impression as to what I was worried about. She clarified and helped me narrow down my issues. I was given suggestions that were quickly do-able. That took SO much pressure off me!! I felt like I could be in control so quickly. Having an email with the suggestions we discussed and links to the Money Mentors tools gave me list to get to work on. I did some of the online workshops right away, I set up automatic transfers on my bank account to pay off my credit card, and I set a date on the calendar on my phone to transfer the money I will be putting towards the credit card to a TFSA when the final payment date for the card arrives.I needed the help to sort out the problems and get some information on things like a TFSA, budget, setting target dates, etc. I am very grateful and I plan to stay in touch with Stacy for a couple more discussions.
Feeling overwhelmed these days? Let us help.
