Plain English

What DACL is, in plain English

Debt Advisors Canada is a real Canadian company that helps people understand their debt options. It assesses your situation, explains your options in plain language, and refers you to the right professional when a formal solution is involved. It runs from a staffed office in Mississauga, Ontario, and serves clients across Canada, excluding Quebec and the territories. Most of its help is provided by phone and email, wherever you are.

Clarity matters

What DACL is not

To be clear, this is where most confusion happens, so here is the honest list:

Not a lender

DACL does not lend money or offer loans.

Not a Licensed Insolvency Trustee

DACL does not file or administer consumer proposals or bankruptcies. Only a Licensed Insolvency Trustee can do that, under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.

Not a government body or program

DACL is a private company. It is not a government agency and not a government-approved program.

Not a debt-settlement negotiator

DACL does not negotiate with your creditors or settle your debts.

What DACL does do is assess, educate, and refer. That is the whole job.
