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.

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. After learning how to budget better, and sticking to my monthly payments I was able to be debt free in 4 years. It was A very proud moment and Yve was there at the end to congratulate me!

A Rewarding Story

Money Mentors is an Alberta-based, non-profit credit counselling agency. Through a number of services, we help families and individuals recover from financial crisis and move forward. From credit counselling and money coaching, to retirement planning and community financial literacy, we’re creating a healthier financial future for the entire province.

As a founding member of Credit Counselling Canada, and the first to be accredited, we’ve helped thousands of Albertans discover financial solutions, become debt free, and ultimately live happier lives.

In 1997, we opened our doors as Credit Counselling Services of Alberta to help Albertans regain control of unmanageable debts. We became the exclusive provider of the Orderly Payment of Debts (OPD) program—managing the program on behalf of the Government of Alberta. Within five short years, Money Mentors was completely self-sufficient with most of our funding coming from agreements set up with creditors seeking payment from clients.

Our debt consolidation services, along with the OPD program, have been very successful, with our clients returning more than $230 million to their creditors. While we’re thrilled with our success, we know there are many more Albertans who need help managing their everyday finances. That need inspired us to develop our Personal Money Coaching, which offers unbiased financial advice.

We have a friendly, qualified, experienced team of personal and family financial experts, including Accredited Financial Counsellors and Professional Home Economists, who are here to help you get the most out of your money.
