“We need to see what your CoBs say”.<br />

Short for Certificate of Balance.<br />

The Certificate of Balance is how credit providers<br />

like to send info about a consumers account<br />

to a Debt Counsellor. The information shows<br />

the balance of the account and what fees and<br />

services apply. For example, it will show if<br />

there is linked insurance on the account. It will<br />

also show the legal status of the collections<br />

process and should disclose the date of defualt<br />

(when you started to msiss payments). Debt<br />

Counsellors use this information to try make<br />

proposals regarding your debt to the credit<br />

providers and the courts.
