Frequently Asked Questions

Debt relief refers to various strategies and programs designed to help individuals and families struggling with overwhelming debt. These solutions aim to reduce the burden of debt, negotiate with creditors, and provide a path towards financial stability. 

Debt relief options in Ontario include debt consolidation, debt settlement, consumer proposals, and bankruptcy.

A Consumer proposal is a formal debt settlement arrangement regulated by the federal government. It allows you to make one affordable monthly payment to your creditors based on your income and assets. 

This option may be suitable if you have a stable income and want to avoid bankruptcy. To determine if a Consumer proposal is right for you, it is recommended to consult with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee who can assess your situation and provide personalized advice.

No, a Consumer Proposal needs to be set up with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT). LITs are licensed professionals authorized by the government to administer debt relief programs and guide individuals through the process. 

They have the expertise and legal authority to negotiate with your creditors and develop a suitable debt management plan based on your financial circumstances.

Yes, there are government debt relief programs available in Canada. However, debt forgiveness programs are rare and typically limited to specific circumstances, such as extreme financial hardship or specific types of loans, like student loans. 

 

In Canada, debt relief grants or programs provided by the government are generally not widely available, however it is possible to write off a portion of your total debt using a Consumer Proposal. You should consult a Licensed Insolvency Trustee if you’re wondering whether this is the best option for you.

Using debt relief services can have an impact on your credit rating. Debt relief options like Consumer proposals and bankruptcy will be noted on your credit report for a certain period of time – three years since the date it’s marked ‘satisfied’ in the case of a consumer proposal. 

However, it’s important to remember that if you’re already struggling with overwhelming debt and missed payments, your credit rating may already be affected. 

Working with a reputable debt relief company can help you rebuild your credit over time once you regain financial stability.

The suitability of a debt consolidation loan versus a Consumer Proposal depends on your individual circumstances. A debt consolidation loan combines multiple debts into a single loan with one monthly payment. It may be a suitable option if you have good credit and can secure a loan with favorable terms. 

 

A Consumer Proposal, however, offers a formalized debt settlement arrangement, allowing you to reduce your overall debt amount and make affordable monthly payments. Consulting with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee can help you determine the best course of action based on your specific financial situation.

The cost of using a debt repayment program varies depending on the program you choose. For example, debt consolidation loans may have interest charges and fees associated with the loan. In the case of a Consumer Proposal, you will need to pay fees to the Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) for administering the program. 

 

The cost structure will be explained to you by the LIT during the consultation process. Additionally, some programs may offer the option to repay the debt using a lump sum payment if you have access to the necessary funds.
