(2) to provide education on budgeting matters. (3) to assist persons and families with financial problems in co- operation with public and private agencies, organizations and associations. (4) to seek the co- operation of merchants, lending institutions, banks and others to achieve the above ob- jectives. (5) most importantly, to protect the individual from embarrassment and harassment due to their inability to meet financial contractual obligations. To qualify for the service, the applicant's income must, after meeting his basic sur- vival needs (such as food, clothing, shelter, medicine, education and so forth), be inadequate to meet contractual` obligations to creditors due to poor money management. te the first .step,; the person seeking financial advice calls;, and; is given an appointment. Many creditors refer clients to the 'service, but ultimately, it is up to the individual. The existing agencies do report that a surprisingly larg=e number of people -do seek help QPn, their own. Secondly, the credit counsellor interviews the individual or .family on a personal, and confidential basis. Full information on the families financial picture is then obtained, the financial situation " is discussed, the problem analyzed and alter- natives considered. The fallowing steps which then will be taken largely depends on the individual. Some ap- plicants may only require budgeting or credit guidance. Some may require the help of the counsellor to arrange with creditors a satisfactory solution. Others may require the formation of a debt repayment plan. Either the person agrees to move on his own and pay his debts off while not acquiring any more, or in more 'serious cases, the counsellor handles the payments himself. During the repayment period, the Agency will attempt to waive interest with the creditors. Clients -must be sin- cerely interested in. ,solving their financial problems, and must be willing to provide a total plct!re, of their financial Situation, Most inert* portantly, they must live up to their agreements once arrangements have been made. Other areas in Ontario ,have definitely found Debt Counselling to be a successful program, The agency in London averages 400 cases per year dealing with an average of 800 clients whose economics status range from people on welfare .to doci'ors and lawyers who maim $80,000.00 a year.
