Our solutions

Debt Consolidation

If your credit and income qualify, consolidating multiple debts into a single lower-interest loan can simplify payments and reduce interest costs. It does not reduce the principal you owe and approval depends on creditworthiness.


Best for: Stable income, decent credit, smaller overall debt.

Negotiation with Creditors

We work directly with your creditors to reduce interest, waive fees, or restructure payments. Results vary by creditor and aren’t guaranteed—but our experience improves your odds.


Best for: A few specific debts, early-stage hardship.

Consumer Proposal(our recommended option)

A Consumer Proposal is a legally binding agreement with your creditors, arranged by a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. You repay only a portion of what you owe, in a single monthly payment, over up to 5 years—interest-free. Once accepted, creditors must stop collection actions.


Why many choose a Consumer Proposal
  • Reduce what you owe (not just the interest)
  • Keep your /assets in most cases
  • No interest and a clear, fixed end date
  • Protect your credit rating from further damage versus ongoing arrears
  • Stop calls and garnishments once filed
Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy provides the strongest legal reset if your situation is severe. It stops collection actions and addresses unmanageable debt. We explain the process clearly so you understand duties, timelines, and what you may keep.


Best for: When a Consumer Proposal isn’t feasible.
