Counselling

A truly wonderful resource that helped put my financial situation in perspective. They helped me understand my debt, create a personalized plan, simplified my debt into one bill, and helped me stop the interest on my bills. I would recommend this free resource to anyone experiencing credit issues.

It is unfortunate that QUEEN BEE is dissatisfied with the mediation service provided. I have worked with a vast number of couples who expressed their satisfaction and who were extremely thankful for the opportunity to work towards an amicable and affordable resolution during a particularly stressful time. Prior to this client as with all couples I discussed the Agreement to Mediate with the Centre including the hourly rate for both sessions, which are paid thereafter and once their negotiations were concluded there would be additional fees for drafting their agreement, etc. As discussed, it is not possible to establish fees for time and work yet to be provided. Nevertheless, this client freely read and signed the Agreement, in fact initialed the particular paragraph acknowledging she understood and agreed. I am a member of Family Mediation Canada and have been for numerous years and by choice, not a member of Ontario Association of Family Mediation. As well, I have no say in other mediator's fees especially those funded by the Ontario Government. It was strongly suggested to this client and partner to seek independent legal advice and in fact I asked them to take my suggestion home, consider it rather than making a hasty decision to have them return advising "lawyers cost to much" and would not seek independent legal advice, signed the Centre's required Waiver as well as the Separation Agreement. This client did receive an invoice for additional fees as outlined in the Agreement to Mediate which consisted of $332.50, plus $7.50 disbursements and $55.57 HST which hardly falls in the category of bankruptcy. In closing I sincerely wish the best for this client in her future path.
