Here is an excerpt from the Consumer Canada funded report above: "While credit counselling services are generally presented as not-for-profit, unbiased, consumer debt counselling services, they are also often franchises and collect a fee from your creditors for collecting your payments. Not-for-profit credit counselling services may be receiving secret commissions or generous financial support from creditors, the Government, United Way and industry at large. Not for profit does not mean that the employees and/or operators of many of these services are not collecting salaries and growing a business."

So much for an Unbiased oppinion. It’s interesting that the Canadian Bankers Association will only advocate the Not-For-Profit Credit counsellors and refuse to acknowledge the Independents.

I got a copy of an English executive summary and the full French version. You should be able to get a copy by contacting L’Union des consommateurs. Their website is referenced in the blog.
