A consumer proposal in Canada is an alternative to bankruptcy
Not everyone has heard of it, but a consumer proposal is an excellent debt-relief solution offered by the government that can reduce or eliminate your debt. It can only be managed by Licensed Insolvency Trustees (LITs) like us.
What is a consumer proposal?
One of the best solutions for debt relief
A consumer proposal is a formal and legally-binding debt settlement agreement between you and the companies you owe money to (your creditors).
It can help you keep your assets, stop collection calls and reduce your debt, often by up to 80%. As LITs, we handle all the negotiations with your creditors, which can help take the pressure off you.
Types of debt we help with
- Credit card debt
- Tax debt
- Student loans
- Personal loans
- Lines of credit
- Payday loans
Advantages
Is a consumer proposal worth it?
A consumer proposal is an alternative to the impact of declaring bankruptcy, and unlike a consolidation loan, it can actually reduce your debt. It ensures that you pay only some of the money you owe. The rest of the debt is forgiven–forever.
Interest charges are frozen
Stops collection calls and creditor action
0% interest
Monthly payments always based on what you can affordConsumer proposals cover unsecured debt. A key advantage is your secured assets are not impacted, as they are in bankruptcies and consolidation loans.
How it works
