Debt Relief Arnprior | Personalized Debt Solutions | Doyle Salewski Inc. (2024)

Consumer proposals are one of the financial solutions we offer here at Doyle Salewski. Speaking to one of our Licensed Insolvency Trustees can give you an understanding of what a consumer proposal can do to help your personal financial situation. If the amount of money you currently owe is too much for you to pay back in full, you may benefit from signing a consumer proposal. Doing so can give you the opportunity to have reduced payments, based on an agreed upon amount by you and your payees.

A Licensed Insolvency Trustee can sit with you to discuss your individual situation in order to provide you with a personalized plan. They will look at your current budgetary requirements to establish what the lowered rate can be, and present the proposal. Your trustee is responsible for mediating the agreement between both parties, so the terms are laid out clearly to be understood and accepted by all who are involved.

What you should know about Consumer Proposals

In order to proceed with the process of a consumer proposal, you must be prepared to:

• Outline each detail of your current financial situation
• Provide realistic goals, and work to achieve them
• Ensure each payment is made diligently
• Reduce unfavourable spending habits

There are also government mandated regulations set before proceeding with a consumer proposal. These include:

• Money owed amounting to less than $250,000, and are unrelated to your home’s mortgage payments
• Joint funds owed amounting to less than $500,000

Should you have more than $250,000 to pay back that is not connected to your mortgage payments, speak to one of our Licensed Insolvency Trustees about whether a Division I proposal is best for you.

Moving forward with a Consumer Proposal

If you are able to commit to each of the above, you can understand the basics of what is needed, and should speak to a trustee at Doyle Salewski Arnprior to find how a consumer proposal can help you. Doing so will help you know the timeline that you can expect for your payments to be complete, as well as the new amount you should expect to owe.

Those who are currently employed do not need to worry that their source of income being affected by a consumer proposal. This means that if you see an increase in your income after the proposal has been agreed to, you will not be expected to increase your monthly payment amount. Anyone who can still afford to make some sort of payments should consider a consumer proposal, as you will be able to budget yourself while working on becoming financially stable.

If you find yourself being unable to pay back any of what is owed, a trustee might suggest that you file for bankruptcy. There are few situations in which bankruptcy will be offered, but depending on each individual circ*mstance, it may be the best option. Speaking with our office is the best way to learn more about our bankruptcy services in Arnprior.

How to Qualify for Bankruptcy

In order to qualify for bankruptcy, the Canadian government outlines that you must:

• Owe a minimum of $1,000
• Have no other available options in order to make payments
• Not have any considerable assets at your disposal to be used as a payment method

Only if each of the above points apply to you, can you then begin to work with your Licensed Insolvency Trustee to file for bankruptcy. They will provide you with the specific details as they pertain to your case, so you have a full understanding before committing to the process.

What You Need to Know About Bankruptcy

Even if you meet the basic requirements listed above, you still might not be able to file for bankruptcy. Another important factor that dictates whether or not you qualify for bankruptcy is the source of your financial trouble. If you graduated within the past 7 years and have student loans to pay off, you will not be able to file for bankruptcy.

You will also not be entitled for bankruptcy if you have fines from court, fraud, or child and spousal support payments to make. Anyone who has financial distress as a direct cause of these can still make an appointment to speak with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee from Doyle Salewski Arnprior, in order to discuss other options.

Your Responsibilities After Bankruptcy

If you do meet all of the requirements set out in the process of filing for bankruptcy, you will have to agree and commit to attending two financial counselling sessions. You will also have to provide monthly income and expense statements to your trustee.

When you make an appointment at Doyle Salewski Arnprior, we will give you all of the knowledge you need so you can make an informed decision in becoming financially independent. Our trustees will be there from the beginning to end of your process, to ensure you have all the help you need every step of the way.
