Proposals

A consumer proposal will enable you to offer a monthly repayment to your creditors over a period of up to 5 years based on your budget (income left after expenses).

The total of the monthly payments represents the amount of your consumer proposal.

Benefits for Consumer Proposal

  • Enables you to make a single monthly payment to your creditors
  • Freezes the interest that you’re accumulating on your debt
  • In most cases will reduce the amount of money that you owe
  • Will stop any collection/enforcement action being taken against you like wage garnishments
  • Does not involve an ongoing reporting obligation as is the case in Bankruptcy
  • Once accepted can be paid in full at any time – if you come into a lump sum of money you can pay it off early which will enable you to start rebuilding your credit sooner.

Case Study

  1. Johnny and Sarah have one child and owe $40,000 in credit card debt with monthly payments that total $1,000.00 per/mo.
  2. Their monthly household income is $4,000.  After their living expenses they are left with $300 per month, leaving them short $700 each month when the bills come in.
  3. Offering a proposal to their creditors of $18,000 in total,  means that they will pay $300 per month for 5 years.

Through the consumer proposal Johnny and Sarah:

  • Stop the interest from accumulating on their credit
  • Are able to make a monthly payment to their creditors that they can afford
  • Will reduce their debt by $22,000
