Debt Consolidation:
A Journey to
Financial Stability

Debt consolidation played a crucial role in helping our client regain financial stability after a major injury led to missed mortgage payments and financial difficulties.

Background

In the quiet town of Williamsford, Ontario, our 47-year-old client faced financial challenges due to an injury a few years ago. After working as a plumber and pipefitter with the same union for over 16 years, he faced some uncertainty and missed mortgage payments. He had to take out private loans to stay afloat.

Financial Details

  • Qualifying GDS/TDS: The qualifying Gross Debt Service (GDS) and Total Debt Service (TDS) ratios were high at 72.87%, reflecting the financial strain caused by the injury and subsequently reduced income.
  • Loan Amount and LTV: The individual was approved for a $357,500 loan with a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio of 63.16%, indicating significant equity in the property
  • Employment and Income: Despite the financial setbacks, he now has a stable job, earning an annual income from a combination of employment and Employment Insurance (EI) benefits. Since he’s currently tracking to earn more, we’re satisfied that he can meet the mortgage obligations.

The Journey

Despite having a bruised credit score of 642 due to missed payments during the injury period, their stable job and significant equity in the property played a crucial role in getting the refinancing approved.

We paid off two private mortgages and consolidated debts, providing a monthly savings of over $1,800 and ensuring continued financial stability. The individual worked closely with their broker, who provided guidance and support throughout the process, helping them understand the importance of timely payments and financial management.

SCORE Program

This deal qualified for the SCORE Program. That means we’ll run a soft inquiry after two quarters, and if the client’s Beacon score improves by at least 30 points, we’ll pay $500 toward the principal. After four quarters, we’ll do it again if the Beacon score remains the same or improves further!

AND! This broker holds Innovator status in the ICON Program, which means he’ll be paid 4x MQ points on this deal – that’s 20 bps on every SCORE deal funded!

Deal Run Promo

We pay an extra 5 bps on deals that flow first through our deal run hub, too! Since this broker spoke to Maxim and the team ahead of submission, he earned a total of 95 bps at funding and an additional 20 bps when we processed MQ Points in January.

That’s a total of 125 bps earned on a 3-year Discover solution.
