Where a consumer proposal is filed, your consumer debt can be reduced 70% or more.
The first step to debt relief and filing a consumer proposal is to speak with us, that’s the hard part. There is no cost or obligation and you can start today.
Every year thousands of people just like you have financial issues. It happens, but let’s get together and fix this issue for you.
When you call we’ll have a discussion over the phone, and answer any questions.
Where you decide to proceed, we’d like to have a discussion and learn what debts you have including:
Many times our clients find it easier to bring in the documents or bank statements for each debt so we have accurate amounts.
During this discussion the trustee will be looking to create a repayment and financial plan based upon:
The trustee is looking to determine how much to offer your creditors and how much your monthly payments should be.

In a consumer proposal the trustee takes the information about your debts, and prepares all the paperwork including:
Where you have questions along the way, the trustee is there as your support and go to person. The trustee works for you.
The proposal is filed with the office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy electronically by the trustee.
Once the application is accepted a stay of proceedings is issued.
A stay of proceedings means that any creditors must:
Once the proposal is filed the trustee sends notice to the creditors.
The creditors may ask for a meeting to discuss the terms of your proposals or to ask any questions they have.
This does not always happen but if it does the trustee will hold the meeting and guide you through the process.
The creditors have 45 days to decide whether to accept the proposal or ask for a creditors meeting. If no meeting is requested after the 45 days has past your proposal is deemed to be accepted.
Should any creditors contact you, they should be directed to speak to the trustee.
Where a meeting has been requested the creditors have an opportunity to:
The trustee will chair the meeting, report to the creditors on your affairs and explain why the trustee feels the proposal deserves their support.
Where the creditors vote no, your options are to:
In a renegotiation the creditors may ask for higher payments or reduce the term of the payments, e.g from 5 years to 4 years.
Where a meeting is not requested the proposal is deemed to be accepted after 45 days.
★★★★★ YanchDey did all the paperwork and dealt with our creditors. The garnishee was stopped and we can sleep at night, we now have a fresh start. Many thanks, Debbie S. Ajax
Where the proposal is accepted you would start making the monthly payments on your proposal.
You are required to attend two credit counselling meetings with the trustee and an online program. The counselling is to help you going forward dealing with credit.
After the proposal has been completed you will receive a Certificate of Full Performance.
The Certificate of Full Performance shows that the terms of the proposal have been completed and that the debt(s) have been cleared.
After filing and completing the consumer proposal Equifax removes it from your credit report 3 years after you’ve completed the payments you agreed to under the proposal.
TransUnion removes a proposal from your credit report either:
While in the proposal you may find that you can obtain a secured credit card. We suggest that you look for a credit card with a maximum credit limit of $500.
The credit card has to be paid off each month completely.
We also suggest that clients use this time to try to build up savings, as they do not have the high loan payments.

★★★★★ I needed to get out of debt. I still had student-loans after 10 years and was sick of borrowing money. I thought I’d have to file for bankruptcy, but they explained how they could get me out of debt and save thousands. My life has changed, I can sleep and have control of my finances. With the consumer proposal I’m debt free, I even appreciated the debt counselling. No consumer credit and struggling with debt for me. God bless!
