Debt statistics in Alberta
Alberta has gone through the ringer as of late. The once booming province with such great promise, is now struggling at great lengths. The oil industry in Alberta is trying to stay afloat and the wild-fire crisis in Fort McMurray just added fuel to the flames. As a consequence, many residents in Alberta are struggling to manage their mountain of debt. Here are some key statistics about the average Albertan:
- Average credit card debt: $4,568 per borrower
- Average student debt: $3,282
- Average mortgage debt: $146,988
- Average consumer debt (non-mortgage): $40,619
All of the above statistics are from Statistics Canada.
Brigitte from Calgary, ABHelped me when I needed it the most!! I was diagnosed with seizures and told I could no longer work!! I went from a very good income to $12,000/year in the blink of an eye. This was brutal and I had to turn to Consolidated to help me with my debt.

Rebekah from Calgary, ABI was in deep trouble with what was inevitably a small (but mounting!) debt and having seen my family go through a couple of bankruptcies, I had no desire to follow in their footsteps knowing how hard it was on them. Thank you SO much for helping me! I am now debt free!!!

Kelly from Edmonton, ABConsolidated Credit has helped me and my family a lot. I thought I was always going to be in debt forever but then with Consolidated Credit I started to see the light again. It’s so simple and with just one condensed easy monthly payment my debt started to vanish. I am almost about to graduate from the program and it’s nice to know I have gained control again of my finances.

Dan from Calgary, ABI am so happy I picked up the phone and called Consolidated Credit. I had so much credit card debt that it would be impossible to pay off in my life time. Consolidated Credit worked with me and my creditors and got me a payment I could afford. I am now credit card debt free. Thank you Consolidated credit.

Brianna from Red Deer, ABYou guys have been one of the biggest helps in my life! I have had so many complications with credit, especially when my SIN number was stolen and everything seemed like it was falling apart. Your staff is friendly and informational. Always helping and making sure that things are good to go. I appreciate everything. You’ve done so much for me. As I continue with my payments, things seem to be getting better slowly but surely. Thank you! I'd refer you to anyone who required your services. Cheers.

Brenda from Stony Plain, ABWe were lucky enough to be able to stick to this program to the T. We don't know what we would have done without you. We were heading into serious trouble when I contacted you and my health would not have handled the collection calls. I thank you so much for your large part in getting this paid off. Credit cards have their place but not when you owe $40,000+ on them. Thanks again.
