Our primary objective is to help clients get mortgage financing who have been turned away by the bank or who are struggling to meet their financial obligations.
For over a decade, I worked at Equifax, one of Canada's leading collection agencies and credit reporting companies. In my role, I managed significant portfolios that included major banks and credit card companies. While the position was financially rewarding, the demands of the job, particularly the constant pressure to collect from financially distressed consumers, took a substantial toll on me.
Day after day, I saw how the cycle of debt repayment merely shifted financial burdens without addressing the underlying issues. It became increasingly clear that simply collecting payments did little to help people improve their financial situations long-term. This realization sparked a determination in me to find a more meaningful solution for these consumers.
My perspective began to shift after meeting a mortgage broker during my tenure at Equifax. He introduced me to an alternative approach: using home equity for debt consolidation, even for clients with significant credit and income challenges. This method proved to be a viable solution where traditional banks often failed to provide assistance, and high-risk finance companies only worsened the situation with exorbitant interest rates.
Motivated by the potential to make a real difference, I spent several years working alongside one of Canada’s leading mortgage brokers, gaining insights and building a solid foundation in debt consolidation strategies. Eventually, I decided to leave the collections industry to focus on this new path.
I founded TurnedAway.ca with the mission to help clients eliminate their debts, repair their credit, and improve their financial health. Under the guidance of one of Canada’s highest volume mortgage brokers, I honed my skills and focused exclusively on assisting homeowners facing income and credit challenges. The business has since expanded, offering support to consumers across Canada, helping them to navigate their financial challenges more effectively.
The journey has been deeply fulfilling, especially as we continue to build on the legacy of my mentor, who passed away nearly a decade ago. His teachings remain a foundational aspect of TurnedAway.ca, guiding our approach to helping clients achieve lasting financial stability.

Turnedaway.ca is a mortgage brokerage that was established on the principal that not all clients fit into a box and neither do their mortgage needs. Turnedaway.ca’s mortgage solutions are unique, just like you!
It’s founder and principal broker worked in the collection agency industry for almost a decade until one day when he had a revelation. Rather than demanding people pay bills they simply couldn’t afford, he decided to offer them a way to consolidate their debts using the equity in their home. After several years of development and years of networking, in 2015, Turnedaway.ca was born. This helped usher in a new way of helping consumers who were unable to get help from the big banks.
Homeowners who were previously declined by their bank finally had options. At Turnedaway.ca we have access to a seemingly endless pool of mortgage lenders, both institutional and private. We help clients customize their short-term goals with their long-term financial objectives and help clients get on track financially.
Since it’s inception, Turnedaway.ca has grown exponentially and is now one of Canada’s largest resources for clients who have credit and income challenges. We have since branched out and offer a variety of mortgage products. We now provide help to Canadians looking to purchase homes, commercial units , vacant land, and much more!
We assist clients who have bruised credit, difficulty proving income or those who are unable to obtain an approval from the bank. Moreover, the number of mortgage transactions we complete each year has afforded Turnedaway.ca the luxury to build extraordinary relationships and trust with likeminded lenders that other mortgage brokers could only dream of.
The relationships and trust that we have formed with our lenders allow us to submit applications based on common-sense, not credit or income. Because of our proven track record, our lenders search for reasons to approve a mortgage rather than decline it.
Our clients get some of the lowest rates with the most flexible terms that are offered in Canada. Turnedaway.ca has a “big box” feel to it but we treat each client unique, just like your mortgage needs. Want to put our experience and relationships to the test? Give us a call for a free, no obligation consult.
Warm Regards,
