Having bad credit doesn’t mean your dream of homeownership is over. At HP Financial Services , we understand that life happens — whether it’s missed payments, unexpected debt, or financial challenges. Our team specializes in helping Ontarians with less-than-perfect credit secure the right mortgage. With access to over 50 lenders, including banks, credit unions, and private lenders, we’ll work with you to find solutions tailored to your needs.
When traditional banks say no, we step in with options designed for your situation. We don’t believe that poor credit should stop you from owning a home or refinancing your property. Our mission is to guide you through the mortgage process, explain your options clearly, and help you rebuild your financial future.
With HP Financial Services, you get:
Local Expertise – Ontario-focused knowledge of lenders and housing market trends.
Credit in Canada is measured on a scale from 300 to 900. Scores below 650 are generally considered bad or poor credit. Here’s how credit health is typically categorized:
| Credit Score Range | Credit Rating |
|---|---|
| 750–900 | Excellent |
| 720–749 | Good |
| 650–719 | Fair |
| 600–649 | Poor |
| 300–599 | Bad |
While banks prefer higher scores, many lenders still approve applications with scores below 650, especially with a stable income and sufficient down payment. At HP Financial Services, we help clients every day who fall within this range, providing access to private lenders, bad credit mortgage products, and second-chance financing.

Some mortgages may require default insurance or stricter repayment terms.
