The challenge
Despite working hard to support his family, severe medical issues and compounding financial pressures left Mark struggling to manage his obligations while protecting his assets.
Unexpected hardship
Serious health complications requiring three surgeries forced Mark to significantly reduce his working hours.
Compounding expenses
The combination of ongoing medical costs, a home mortgage, and general living expenses pushed his total debt to over $46,000.
Multiple creditors
Managing payments across four different creditors became an overwhelming administrative and financial burden during his recovery.
Risk to assets
The sheer volume of debt and his reduced income put his family home and hard-earned equity at severe risk.

Tailored solutions

Why this approach worked
Getting started is easy and straightforward
Significant debt reduction
By establishing a Part 9 Debt Agreement, we successfully negotiated Mark’s total unsecured obligations down from $46,000 to $28,767, instantly removing roughly $17,000 of financial burden.
Asset protection & simplified management
Instead of juggling four demanding creditors while recovering from surgery, Mark now makes a single, affordable payment. Most importantly, this structure entirely avoided bankruptcy, ensuring his family home and equity remained fully protected.
The result
Mark successfully executed a Part IX (9) Debt Agreement, experiencing immediate financial relief and peace of mind. The outcome eliminated the threat of losing his home and provided a realistic, stress-free framework to manage his recovery and finances.
Additional benefits
Improved credit score through consistent single payment history
Mental clarity and reduced financial stress
Ability to manage ongoing medical and household costs with freed-up cash flow
On track for a completely debt-free future
Consolidating single mother’s debt
After losing her fiancé, Sarah was left with loans, mounting childcare costs, medical expenses, and the added pressure of COVID’s impact on the farming industry – leaving her $40,000 in debt across five creditors. As a single mum working full-time, she was exhausted from juggling it all alone. We consolidated her debts into a single affordable plan through a Part 9 Debt Agreement, reducing her total debt by $25,000 and helping her avoid bankruptcy.
Halving family credit debt
When John’s health left him unable to work, the family relied on credit cards to survive, accumulating over $70,000 in debt. Unable to refinance their mortgage, we helped them establish a Part 9 Debt Agreement. This reduced their total debt by 55% into a single affordable monthly payment, ultimately saving their family home.
