Consumer Proposal
A proposal is an offer to your creditors to either; pay them over a longer period of time or pay them less than the total amount owed.
For example if your debt consists of $30,000 worth of credit cards and you cannot afford the large monthly payments, you would make an offer such as;
- $300 per month for 3 years, or
- $300 a month for 2 years plus the proceeds from the sale of an asset.
The process is flexible and creditors will generally be prepared to accept an offer once they see that you are experiencing difficulties.
To qualify to file a Consumer Proposal your total debt cannot exceed $75,000 excluding a mortgage on a home in which you live.
We can help you to determine if this is your best option.
Our Trustees are able to advise you which of these options is best suited to your specific circumstances.
