How Much Could I Save?The six warning signs of mortgage debt
If you’re worried that you or a loved one is struggling with mortgage bills and repayment, there are a few key things you can look out for:
Sign 1. Extra lines of credit
Relying on credit cards, loans, or overdrafts to cover regular expenses can indicate deeper financial concerns.
Sign 2. Avoidance
Avoiding conversations about mortgages or finances? This common coping mechanism might mask underlying struggles.
Sign 3. Missing payments
As the stress of mortgage debt grows over time, it’s easy to prioritize other payments, miss payments or even avoid them to help you pay other bills.
Sign 4. Mental health
Struggling with anxiety, stress, or feeling overwhelmed? Mortgage debt can take a toll on your mental well-being.
Sign 5. A change in relationships
Shame and stress can strain relationships. Don’t let debt push loved ones away – reach out for support instead.
Sign 6. A domino effect
A sudden income change, illness, or other event can trigger a cascade of debt issues. Don’t wait for them to snowball.

Mortgage Debt FAQs

While having a mortgage typically shows responsible borrowing and improves your credit score in the long term, missed payments can significantly damage it. Each late payment can stay on your report for up to 7 years, impacting your ability to secure future loans and lines of credit.
Where can I get help with my mortgage payments?
In Canada, several resources can help with mortgage payments:
- Your mortgage lender: Contact your lender directly to discuss hardship options like payment deferrals or loan modifications.

- Non-profit organizations: Credit counseling agencies like Credit Counseling Society can provide free debt advice and negotiate with your lender.

- Relationship strain: Debt-related stress can impact relationships with family and friends.

What happens if I can't pay my mortgage in Canada?
If you can’t pay your mortgage in Canada, your lender will contact you to discuss the situation. Ignoring the issue can lead to serious consequences, including foreclosure, which involves the property being repossessed and sold to cover the outstanding debt. Want to make a proactive plan? Reach out to our Licenced Insolvency Trustees today.
Is a mortgage considered debt in Canada?
Yes, a mortgage is considered debt in Canada. It’s a secured loan used to purchase a property, with the property acting as collateral. While managing a mortgage responsibly can boost your credit score, neglecting payments can have the opposite effect. If you need help refinancing, we can refer you to someone you can trust to provide the help you deserve.
