A couple getting help with their consumer debt

Strategies and Support from Pyxis Debt Solutions

Canada’s household debt continues to climb, leaving many Canadians feeling stressed and unsure about how to regain financial control. According to Equifax Canada, consumer debt reached $2.5 trillion in the first quarter of 2025, with average credit card balances increasing year over year. These rising balances, coupled with high-interest rates and the cost of living, make it more difficult than ever for Canadians to manage their financial obligations.

While the numbers may seem daunting, understanding your debt, prioritizing repayments, and seeking expert support can make a tangible difference. At Pyxis Debt Solutions, we focus on helping those whose debts we’ve acquired, creating manageable repayment plans and offering guidance to restore financial stability.


Understanding the Types of Debt and Why It Matters

Not all debt is created equal, and the approach to paying it off depends on interest rates, balances, and the type of credit used.

High-Interest Debt:
These debts cost the most over time and should be addressed first. Examples include:

  • Credit cards with double-digit interest rates
  • Payday loans or other short-term, high-rate borrowing

Medium-Interest Debt:
While interest rates are lower than high-interest debt, balances are often larger, making repayment a longer-term commitment. Examples include:

  • Car loans
  • Student loans
  • Lines of credit

Low-Interest Debt:
Mortgages or long-term loans often have the lowest interest rates and can sometimes be prioritized after high-interest debts are under control. In some cases, it may make sense to invest rather than pay off these loans aggressively, depending on your financial goals.

Prioritizing debts based on interest rates and balances allows Canadians to reduce the overall cost of borrowing and regain control faster.


Proven Debt Repayment Strategies

Experts often recommend two primary approaches to tackling debt:

1. The Debt Snowball Method:
Focuses on paying off the smallest debts first, providing quick wins and motivation as each account is cleared.

2. The Debt Avalanche Method:
Targets the highest interest rate debts first, saving money on interest over time and reducing the total repayment period.

Both methods are effective—the choice depends on your personal financial habits and what motivates you to stay consistent.


How Pyxis Debt Solutions Works: Turning Debt into Manageable Solutions

At Pyxis Debt Solutions, our approach begins with acquiring certain types of debt from lenders and creditors. This allows us to work directly with the individuals who owe the debt, rather than third parties who may not fully understand your situation.

Here’s how the process works:

  1. Debt Acquisition
    When a creditor determines that a debt may be challenging for a consumer to recover, Pyxis may purchase the debt. This transfers ownership of the debt to us. Importantly, this gives us the flexibility to create custom solutions tailored to each person’s unique financial circumstances, rather than following rigid lender policies.
  2. Personalized Assessment
    Once a debt is acquired, our team reviews the individual’s financial situation, including income, monthly expenses, and outstanding obligations. This allows us to understand exactly what is manageable for you, rather than imposing one-size-fits-all solutions.
  3. Tailored Repayment Plans
    Pyxis then works with clients to design repayment plans that are realistic, structured, and stress-reducing. These plans are intended to help you steadily reduce your debt while maintaining your day-to-day financial stability.
  4. Ongoing Support and Guidance
    Beyond repayment, we provide guidance and education to improve your financial literacy. Our goal is to ensure that you don’t just pay off your debt but also develop the knowledge and tools to prevent future financial strain.
  5. Trusted and Transparent Process
    Unlike aggressive collection practices, Pyxis focuses on a compassionate, non-judgmental approach. You will always know exactly what you owe, how the plan works, and how to take steps toward financial freedom.

By combining debt acquisition with individualized support, Pyxis helps Canadians turn a stressful, unmanageable situation into a clear path forward, giving clients confidence, control, and peace of mind.


Additional Debt Relief Options

Even with Pyxis’ support, Canadians can also explore these strategies:

  • Debt Consolidation: Combines multiple debts into a single monthly payment, often at a lower interest rate.
  • Negotiation with Creditors: Contacting your lenders to request payment adjustments or reduced interest rates.
  • Consumer Proposals or Bankruptcy: For those facing severe financial strain, legally structured solutions can provide relief, though they may impact credit scores.

Pyxis works alongside these solutions, ensuring clients receive personalized guidance and the support needed to choose the most effective path.


Lifestyle and Mindset Adjustments

Managing debt isn’t just about numbers, it’s also about behavior. Canadians facing high debt should:

  • Track spending carefully and distinguish between wants and needs.
  • Adjust lifestyle habits to free up funds for repayment.
  • Build a small emergency fund to handle unexpected expenses.
  • Educate themselves on personal finance to make informed choices.

By combining smart financial habits with Pyxis’ structured support, Canadians can regain control of their finances and reduce stress associated with debt.
