Course Overview

This CPD course is specific for the Canadian Audience only.

Carrying multiple debts at one time is often overwhelming, and it can be difficult to figure out where to focus your repayment efforts first. Plus, the longer you keep your debts open the more you end up paying in interest over time. It's important to find a debt repayment strategy that works for you and your unique financial situation. That way, you know exactly where to channel your payments so that they'll make the biggest impact on what you owe.

While debt settlement can be the best option to eliminate outstanding obligations, it can negatively impact your credit score. Your credit score is one of the most important measures of your financial health.

Do you have a debt repayment strategy in place? 

If you had a game plan in place how would that make you feel? 

When was the last time you reviewed your credit report?

Join this Finance course to get all the answers to the above questions. It will guide you with certain debt management options like the consumer proposal, declaring bankruptcy, and consolidating credit.

This CPD Course will discuss the following key topics:

  • Types of Credit
  • Overview of Credit Score
  • Factors that Affect the Credit Score
  • Debt Management Options
  • 8 Tips to Improve Your Credit Score
