Alexandre’s credit cards

"My meeting with a professional from BRESSE gave me back my confidence, I got through it without having to go bankrupt." Alexandre

The situation

Alexandre begins to worry. Over the years, he has accumulated large balances on five credit cards, and now limits himself to minimum payments each month. Looking at his statements, he is shocked to realize that he is paying up to 29% interest on some of them.

One evening, on his way home from work, he hears an advertisement on the radio promising to consolidate his debts and improve his budget management. The offer seemed ideal, so he made an appointment with the company.

The advisor insisted on having him sign a financial services agreement, avoided his questions and pressured him to make an immediate decision. Alexandre leaves discouraged – he thought he’d found the miracle solution.

The next day, he recounted his experience to a colleague, who highly recommended BRESSE, and in particular Georges, an advisor renowned for his professionalism and ability to listen.

The objectives

– Find a realistic and transparent solution to debt repayment;
– Avoid bankruptcy;
– Reduce monthly payments and interest rates; and
– Regain confidence in managing your finances.

The solution

When he meets Georges, Alexandre finally feels understood. After analyzing his situation, Georges realizes that it’s not as critical as he thought. Rather than steer him towards an unnecessary procedure, he suggests he apply for a consolidation loan from a financial institution.

With Georges’ help, Alexandre carefully prepared his file and submitted his application. A few days later, he obtained a low-rate consolidation loan, consolidating all his debts into one reasonable monthly payment.

The result

Thanks to this solution, Alexandre was able to pay off his debts without having to declare bankruptcy, and regain control of his financial situation. His payments are now stable, his interest rates considerably reduced, and his peace of mind restored.
