SNAP Home Finance vs. Financeit
SNAP Home Finance and Financeit are consumer finance platforms that service or hold a large volume of Ontario HVAC and home equipment contracts. Both work primarily through dealer networks rather than originating contracts at the door themselves.
What they share
- Both are financing/servicing platforms — neither sold the equipment to the homeowner directly.
- Both depend on the original installer agreement for collection rights.
- Both fall under CPA section 95, meaning defences against the original installer apply against them.
- Both can be the practical counterparty for resolution where the original installer has gone silent.
How they differ
- SNAP focuses heavily on home-services consumer finance; Financeit operates more broadly across consumer finance categories.
- Specific dealer-network relationships and contract-acquisition patterns differ.
- Customer-service operations are independent.
Which one is worse?
From the homeowner's standpoint, the difference is operational rather than legal. The defences available against either are identical and derive from the original installer agreement.
What to do if you have a contract with either
Whether SNAP or Financeit is collecting, the same first step applies: find the original installer agreement and have the contract analysed against the 2018 CPA amendments. Where CPA grounds exist, the finance company's collection rights are limited.
