Consumer Proposals
What is a Consumer Proposal?
A Consumer Proposal is a formal, legally binding process that allows an individual to settle their debt for less than the total amount owed. It’s a viable restructuring option for over 45,000 Canadians annually, providing legal protection from creditors.
How Does a Consumer Proposal Work?
In a Consumer Proposal, you work with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee to develop a proposal to pay creditors a percentage of what is owed to them or extend the time you have to pay off the debts, or both. This process involves negotiating with creditors, and once accepted, it can significantly reduce your overall debt burden.
Benefits of a Consumer Proposal
- Debt Reduction: You only pay a portion of what you owe.
- Legal Protection: Creditors cannot pursue legal action or contact you for payment.
- Fixed Monthly Payments: Payments are tailored to your financial situation.
- Credit Score Impact: Less severe than bankruptcy.
