What You Need to Know About Consumer Proposals

You work with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee to draft a proposal – an offer to pay back creditors a portion of what you owe or extend the time you have to pay off your debts. Your trustee will help create a payment schedule based on your living expenses, income, and family responsibilities.

We offer consumer proposals in our Carleton Place office. Most proposals begin with an offer to make lower monthly payments and/or a larger lump sum payment. This reduces your debt amount while ending interest charges. You’ll then pay the agreed upon amount to your trustee, who distributes it to your creditor(s).

Some Requirements of a Consumer Proposal

Only a Licensed Insolvency Trustee can make a legally binding consumer proposal. To qualify, your debts have to be at least $5,000 but less than $250,000 (not including the mortgage on your primary residence). You also need to have joint debts equaling at least $10,000 but less than $500,000 if you want to file a joint proposal.

For the proposal to be legal, the creditors who you owe the most to must agree to the set terms. Once they do, you’ll begin to repay the agreed upon amount over a maximum of 5 years. A consumer proposal also creates a public record in an online database.

The Benefits of a Consumer Proposal

A consumer proposal is a viable choice if you have a well-paying job, and can afford to make steady payments every month. It’s also a good option if you can’t get a debt consolidation loan because you owe too much to creditors.

Creditors are also eager to accept a proposal over bankruptcy because it lets them recover some of the money you owe them. The debt strategies we create are tailored to help relieve you of the financial burden you came in with.

  • Your assets won’t have to be surrendered as part of your proposal agreement.
  • Once your proposal has been accepted your payments won’t increase if your income does.
  • You’ll never owe more than the agreed upon amount.
  • The negative impact on your credit score isn’t as severe as it is when you declare bankruptcy.
