Government Debt Relief Programs

Being in the industry for nearly five decades, we are aware of the growing number of agencies that advertise federal or government Canadian debt relief programs. But, take heed, as a licensed insolvency trustee, we’d like to share with you that the consumer proposal is the only Canadian government debt relief program. If you want to deal with your debts most safely and effectively, this is the option to choose.

A consumer proposal is a government debt relief program that provides individuals with an alternative to bankruptcy. With a consumer proposal, you will agree to repay a percentage of your debts over some time. The proposal is negotiated with your creditors and must be approved by most of them. If your proposal is accepted, it will be legally binding on all your creditors.

Bankruptcy can have a negative impact on your credit rating and can make it difficult to obtain credit in the future. However, a consumer proposal will not affect your credit rating and may even improve it if you complete the program.

With our years of experience in dealing with debtors, we understand that financial problems vary from one person to another. As such, a certain debt relief program may not be suitable for everyone’s case. Fortunately, there are many options to choose from, and with the right guidance from our licensed insolvency trustee, you’ll surely find the best solution to achieve debt relief in Canada.

Top 5 Debt Relief Options in Canada

• Debt Consolidation. Debt consolidation is one of the most popular debt relief options in Canada. It’s a process that combines all your debts into a single loan with a lower interest rate and a fixed monthly payment. This can make it easier to manage your debt and save you money on interest charges. There are two main types of debt consolidation: personal loan consolidation and credit card balance transfer. With personal loan consolidation, you borrow money from a lender to pay off your debts. With a credit card balance transfer, you take out a new credit card with a lower interest rate than your current card. You then use this new card to pay off your other cards. Debt consolidation does not free you of debts. It only makes repayment manageable.
• Credit Counseling. Credit counseling is a form of debt relief that can help you get your debts under control. You will work with a credit counselor to create a Debt Management Plan (DMP). This usually involves creating a budget and agreeing to a payment plan that the person can afford. Credit counseling is an option for people who are unable to repay their debts on their own and who don’t want to file for bankruptcy. The credit counselor will work with your creditors to get them to agree to lower interest rates and stop charging late fees. This can help you get out of debt quicker and save money on interest payments.
• Debt Settlement. Debt settlement is a process by which you negotiate with your creditors to reduce the amount of debt you owe. The goal is to arrive at an agreement whereby you pay back a reduced amount instead of the total amount you need to pay. This can be an effective way to get relief from high-interest debt, but it is important to consult with a qualified credit counselor before making any decisions. Additionally, there are fees to complete the process.
• Consumer Proposal. A consumer proposal is a government-approved process where you offer to repay a portion of your debt, relative to what you can afford, over up to five years. Your debts will be discharged after the said proposal period. It’s one of the debt reliefs options available through Consumer Affairs, and it’s typically less damaging to your credit score than filing for bankruptcy.
• Personal Bankruptcy. Personal bankruptcy is a legal process that provides relief to individuals who are overwhelmed by debt. When you file for bankruptcy, your assets (property and money) are turned over to a bankruptcy trustee, who then liquidates them and distributes the proceeds among your creditors. In most cases, your unsecured debts are discharged (meaning you no longer have any legal obligation to pay them), and you are given a fresh start.

These debt relief options offer both risks and benefits. However, since they require a deep understanding of legal terms and processes, it’s always best to talk with a licensed insolvency trustee to guide you in choosing the best option for your case.
