My Story of Debt


Hello, my name is Scarlett, and I have been asked by Full Circle Debt solutions to share my story and how it progresses.

First of all, my name has been changed, but this story is true. I hope it offers some hope and guidance to those of you who are faced with the same struggles as myself.

I was told that I had a talent at art. I had what I believed to be the eye and sensibilities for the craft of interior design, so I devoted a few years of my life to it. I attended Emily Carr on very expensive student loans. While I worked part-time, I was still always strapped for cash. I had a job at a call-centre and my parents had little to lend me.

After two years, I could not find a job in the field that I was in. I found myself suddenly burdened with over $10,000 in student loans. I looked for other options. And I saw potential as a legal assistant.

I went to Sprott Shaw Community College for two years to get my legal assistant certification. This put me another $5000 in debt. When I had a job, I was making $18/hour, which is not bad, but bringing home a take-home of $2500/month makes it difficult to pay off the interest I had gained on my credit cards. Most of my education was paid for on my Visa, on top of my student loans. Looking at it now, I now own more than $20,000 to the government and Visa.

I was able to get my annual interest with Visa to 10%, but this still means that I am paying over $100/month to them and another $100 to my student loans without even touching the principle.

There had to be another way. So I contacted Full Circle Debt Solutions.
