A New Type of Debt Help Service Opens in British Columbia

Why it’s advisable to get that second opinion first

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--There’s no shortage of Canadians with consumer debt problems and there’s no shortage of help being offered to them. Google the phrase “problem debt Canada” and you’ll get 14,300,000 results. So if you need help, where do you start? Whom do you choose and who do you trust with this most personal of problems: overwhelming consumer debt?

This is where B.H. Pybus Ltd.’s Debt-Free Fifty-Five Plus comes in. In the words of company founder B.H. (Brian) Pybus, “After many years in business, government and the financial service industry, I found that many with consumer debt problems - particularly seniors - simply don’t know how to go about getting help. For example, talking to Bankruptcy Trustees when they need a loan consolidation, borrowing more from lenders when they really need debt counselling, not appreciating that there's an overwhelming number of services offering very different kinds of help. There had to be a better way.

The answer occurred to me during a conversation with my neighbour. He mentioned that prior to purchasing his home he hired a professional building inspector to look at it. Doing so helped him in a number of ways: it alerted him to the condition of the property, it gave him a professional opinion of its value that was neither the realtor’s nor the bank’s, it provided information that gave him more confidence in price negotiations and allowed him the peace of mind that comes from an independent professional’s opinion. And I thought, ‘This is so logical. Why don’t people have a similar diagnostic option when it comes to solving debt problems?’” Debt-Free Fifty-Five Plus was born.

Our mission with Debt-Free Fifty-Five Plus is threefold: to help Canadians aged fifty-five plus resolve their consumer debt issues at that most financially vulnerable time of their lives; to provide an independent in-depth assessment of their financial circumstances; and, most importantly, to provide recommendations and suggest the most appropriate action steps to turn things around. To do this and make things affordable we use a combination of internet tools, phone consultation and personalized written reports. Our motto is: when it comes to solving debt problems get your second opinion first. For further information visit: www.debtfreefiftyfiveplus.ca
