Consumer Proposals in Fredericton, New Brunswick

A consumer proposal is a debt relief solution legislated by the federal government that are administered by Licensed Insolvency Trustees. A consumer proposal allows you to consolidate your debt or settle your debt for less than you owe and with no interest charges.

Here are the top 10 benefits of a consumer proposal.

  1. write-off part of your debts

  2. stop collection calls

  3. stop a wage garnishment

  4. unfreeze your bank account

  5. legally binding on all unsecured creditors

  6. deals with CRA and payday loan companies

  7. you keep your assets including your tax refund

  8. reduce your monthly payment to something that is affordable

  9. no interest on monthly payments

  10. avoid bankruptcy

Our Licensed Insolvency Trustees will work with you to craft an offer you can afford.

The cost of a consumer proposal is known upfront. What you pay is exactly, and only, what payment you negotiate with your creditors at the beginning of the consumer proposal process. Once you complete your payments and the terms of your proposal, your debts are eliminated.

A consumer proposal can only be filed with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee like Powell Associates Ltd. Learn how to file a consumer proposal or contact our Fredericton team today to learn if a consumer proposal is worth it for you, how a consumer proposal can help you get out of debt and avoid bankruptcy.

Debt Consolidation vs Consumer Proposal

If you have significant credit card debt, tax debts or other unsecured debts, you may be wondering if a debt consolidation loan, home equity loan or second mortgage are a good option to consolidate your debts.

An unsecured consolidation loan can be difficult to get if your credit score already reflects poor or too much credit. Even if you have equity in your home, it can be difficult to qualify for a home equity loan or second mortgage and the costs and interest rate can be significant.

Our Fredericton debt professionals & Licensed Insolvency Trustees can help you review your debt restructuring options and compare the pros and cons of a new loan or second mortgage with making a formal, debt settlement offer to your creditors through a consumer proposal.

Ask us about your bankruptcy options

Debt problems don’t go away on their own. If you cannot afford to repay your debts on your own, as Licensed Insolvency Trustees (formally Bankruptcy Trustees) we help you explore all your options and choose the solution that is best for you.

Break Free From Credit Card Debt

If you are only making minimum payments on your credit cards it will take you years to pay off your balances, if at all. We can help you consolidate your payments or make a settlement offer that can lower your credit card balances. Your credit cards are rolled into one reduced monthly payment.

This is not a new loan, it’s a government-approved interest-free debt settlement plan payable over up to five years. Our Licensed Insolvency Trustees will help you determine what is best for your situation.

Stop the Payday Loan Cycle

Payday loans cause financial stress because the interest accumulates faster than you can pay it off. Over time this eats away at your paycheque. Once you fall behind, payday lenders use aggressive collection tactics like calling your employer and garnishing your wages.

We can include payday loans in your program and help you break the payday loan cycle.

Get Tax Debt Relief

Only a Licensed Insolvency Trustee has the options that can help you reduce your tax debt liability. Tax debts are included in your debt settlement program with other debts and the penalties and interest will stop. If CRA has frozen your bank account or garnished your wages, we can reverse those actions.

Student Loan Debt Forgiveness

Looking for help resolving student loan debt? If you have been out of school for 7 years, your government student loan debt can be discharged through a bankruptcy or consumer proposal.

Eliminate High-Interest Installment Loans

You may have tried to consolidate or pay bills by taking out a high-cost financing loan. While these types of consolidation loans can help you deal with the immediate demand for repayment, they come with an interest rate of 39%, 49% and even 59%.  Installment loans meant for those already in debt or with poor credit just postpone, rather than solve the problem.

Unsecured loans, whether owed to a bank, credit union or financing company can be eliminated with payments determined based on what you can afford.
