What is a consumer proposal?

A consumer proposal is a formal procedure administered by a licensed insolvency trustee. The purpose of a consumer proposal is to provide you with a partial but final settlement of your debts, over a set period of time, in line with your ability to pay.

Payments under an accepted consumer proposal are made through us.

How does a consumer proposal work?

•  We will file the consumer proposal with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB).
• Once the consumer proposal is filed, you will stop making payments directly to your unsecured creditors.
• Also, if your creditors have garnished your wages or taken legal action against you, these actions are permanently stopped by the consumer proposal.

    If your consumer proposal is accepted:

•  You will be required to pay a lump sum or make periodic payments according to the terms of your consumer proposal.
•  You will keep your property.
•  If your proposal is refused, we can always increase the amount to make it acceptable to your creditors and avoid bankruptcy.

Example of a consumer proposal

  • In a consumer proposal, you offer to pay your creditors 20% of your debts, in monthly instalments of $350, over a period of thirty-six (36) months; payments are made to the trustee each month, and the trustee redistributes them to the creditors of the accepted consumer proposal at regular intervals.
  • When the consumer proposal is completed according to its terms, you are released from your debts. Your credit file is re-established 3 years after the consumer proposal is executed.
  • Only a licensed insolvency trustee can file a consumer proposal on your behalf.
