I'm in Ontario and presently on interest relief, which will stop at the end of Oct.

I know I don't have to make any payments while on IR, but I'm wondering if it's a good idea to make some payment towards my debts. Any thoughts?

I'm also going to be reapplying for IR once my period ends and wondering if making any payments now on my debts will affect my future application (i.e., maybe the NSLSC will think I don't qualify for IR b/c I can afford to make some payments now).
