I had strong reservations regarding declaring bankruptcy and was encouraged to reach out to seek advice from a trustee.... Victor was amazing and patiently explained the process as well as all my subsequent questions and concerns. He was there with me through the whole process as I made my decision to proceed, and all the different steps over the months leading to my discharge. I highly recommend his services and thank him for assisting me to be now debt free, which feels like a new beginning and a new life.read more

Kind understanding people, very professional and were able to make the whole process really easy and convenient. I... highly recommend them. I likely won't be a return customer, and thats a good thing here. But if i ever had any family or friends who needed their help and expertise, i would not hesitate to recommend Fong and partners, thank you!read more

A family member had been having some debt problems, and I took her in to see Victor, after having read other google... reviews. He was very prompt in replying to my initial email inquiry and slotted us in for the next day. After reviewing all of her financial information, he concluded that it would not be in her best interest to file for bankruptcy. That really impressed me, because he does not make a dime telling us that. He could easily have gone ahead and started a bankruptcy for her and earned himself some fees, but he instead advised her on a course of action that would be most beneficial to her. You don't always see that level of honesty and integrity in the marketplace these days. Thanks, Victor.read more

Went and visiting Vic at his office, and he was able to help me take a closer look at my situation. His advice helped... me understand that I'm in better shape than I thought, but if I ever needed help with a proposal or bankruptcy, I wouldn't hesitate to come back and work with Fong & Partners. Thanks Vic!read more

I was dealing with a lot of debt on my own. I was very proud of my credit score it had been very high for many years.... It was a sense of pride to keep it in good standings. One day, feeling weighed down by this crippling debt, (most of which was not even mine) I knew I needed help. Personally, I did not feel well in claiming Bankruptcy, I wanted to take ownership of the debt but I knew it was so overwhelming and I needed help. My cousin told me about Fong and Partners. I read a few reviews and made an appointment. It was very comprehensive, Mary and Victor were very kind and reassuring. I made a 5 year payment plan that was easy enough to maintain and here we are! I am debt free! I am very grateful for the support I received at Fong and Partners and look forward to living a life as debt free as possible and rebuilding my credit score! Thank you very much Fong and Partners!read more

In a desperate time he shows professionalism in explaining everything meticulously and if needed once more and once... more and once more... But what I appreciate even more is that years after the discharge he still helps in case of emergency - i just got a collection note of a discharged item, and he answered my help request within 25 minutes!!! You can trust himread more

It is very difficult to discuss financials with somebody, especially when a family is in a troubled time. It is during... these vulnerable times that Victor came forward and offered to help in every way he could. He is a service to the whole community and answers all questions honestly, openly, and gives the right guidance. He gave the pros and cons of our situation, and just speaking with him with his prompt replies made us feel at ease and see light at the end of the tunnel. While we're based in Alberta, and Victor in Toronto, he has full knowledge of laws in all of Canada and provided us a referral to someone that can help and that has worked with him. We firmly believe that Victor is not in this business solely to make money; he gets pleasure out of helping people, guiding people, and solving people's problems. A sincere thank you, Victor!read more
