I filed a consumer proposal and I have about two and a half years left on my four-year debt. I wanted to clarify something: I often read that someone who is bankrupt but not discharged cannot get a credit card. What about someone who is still paying off their consumer proposal? Am I allowed to have a credit card (for example, if my spouse, who has excellent credit, is a co-signer)? If not, am I allowed to have what's called an additional card in my name, but with the account not being mine?
Nothing prevents you from holding a card in a consumer proposal.
However, it will be difficult to obtain one, unless, as you so aptly put it, you are not the primary cardholder.

- A few months ago, I bought a new car, financed by the bank. My partner signed the loan agreement, and I was the co-buyer. If I sign a consumer proposal, what impact will it have on the loan? I don't want my partner to be disadvantaged.
- Can I consider the consumer proposal even if I am receiving unemployment insurance benefits (I have the maximum benefits)?
- Can my spouse and I submit a proposal at the same time? We have approximately $115,000 in debt. Can we also include our line of credit and credit facilities in this proposal? My mortgage renewal is due next year: could the financial institution refuse me?
- Does making a consumer proposal impact our job prospects? To work for the government, applicants are required to sign an authorization to check references, criminal record, and credit before being hired.
- 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?
