I'd like to file a consumer proposal and I was wondering if there's a minimum amount of debt required to do so. Our debts total approximately $19,000, while our annual income is $42,000. We don't own a home because a very large portion of our income goes toward debt repayment and essential expenses. If we were to file a consumer proposal, how is the monthly repayment amount determined to become debt-free? Is it a percentage of our income? If so, what percentage?
Subject to a full assessment of your situation, you may be able to file a consumer proposal to settle these debts.
Your payment will be calculated based on your net income and family expenses.

- For the past few years, the provincial government has been garnishing my wages. After all this time, I'm at my wit's end. However, I'm indebted to friends and family. I also owe Hydro-Québec, Mastercard, and now the federal government is demanding over $4,000, which will result in another wage garnishment. I'm in debt and I couldn't pay my rent this month. Can I include my unpaid rent in my consumer proposal since my landlord has gone to the Régie du logement (Quebec Rental Board) and the next month is coming up and I won't be able to pay it?
