Choose A Consumer Proposal Toronto Over Bankruptcy

By Annabelle Holman


If you don't want to file for bankruptcy, a consumer proposal might be your best option. A consumer proposal Toronto will help you deal with your debts by having you pay a portion of the total, as well as help you prevent debt collectors trying to take any more of your money. These proposals are dealt with your debt creditors, who are licensed bankruptcy trustees.

Once you file a consumer proposal, you'll be required to pay a certain portion of your debt balance. This is an agreed upon amount that your creditors allow, and the rest of your debts will be forgiven. This is also mentally helpful, as you'll be able to release a lot of the burden your once large debt pushed down on you.

Your creditor will allow a maximum repayment period of 5 years, within which you can pay the entire portion of the debt you've agreed on. Once you file the proposal, the interests on the debt stop accumulating, wage garnishments cease, and debt collectors will stop trying to obtain payments from you. Unlike bankruptcy, you don't have to give up your house and other financial assets.

The full portion of the debt you agree to will never change or increase, even if your income increases within those 5 years. On top of your assets not being at risk, they will never be held temporarily while you pay your debt. Just like in bankruptcy, any surplus income does not come into consideration at all.

The credit score drop you get from proposals like this is a lot better than what you'd get with bankruptcy. Bankruptcy will provide you with a R9 rating, while consumer proposals provide a R7 one. Keep in mind that an R9 rating is the lowest rank you can obtain, causing a lot of damage on your credit score.

You aren't the only one benefiting from this filing. Your creditors, while they aren't receiving the full debt amount, receive at least some portion. If you were to go bankrupt, they would not receive anything. Therefore, if you really are in a place where you can only pay a partial amount of your debts, the creditors welcome this alternative.

Make sure your debt total ranges between five thousand dollars and two hundred fifty thousand dollars, as this is the range that makes you eligible for a consumer proposal. If you have a stable job and are able to make regular monthly payments, can't seem to get a debt consolidation loan because your balance is way too high, aren't possibly able to pay the full debt and interest amounts, or want to avoid bankruptcy so you don't have to make surplus income payments; you can definitely contact your creditors to file a consumer proposal. As mentioned before, your home and assets are also safe from any collection.

There still are some limitations to consumer proposals. You won't be able to pick which debts you want to pay, since your creditors will decide the dispersal. You also won't be able to avoid alimony or spousal support, some student loans, or home mortgage and car loan obligations. Your creditor will give you further detailed information on what qualifies and what doesn't in consumer proposals.
