The Florida Consumer Finance Act (Act) in ch. 516, F.S., provides an exemption from Florida's prohibition against usurious contracts, under which any interest rate greater than 18 percent per annum is prohibited.
Secured credit cards A secured credit card is a great way to build credit after filing either a proposal or bankruptcy. After filing for bankruptcy, a secured credit card is really your only option.
A consumer proposal can only be filed for non-mortgage debt up to $250,000. Bankruptcy has no limit to the amount of debt that can be included, only a minimum of $1000.
Make payments in full and on time Those who file a consumer proposal can keep a credit card with a zero balance at the date of filing. This will help re-establish credit during the consumer proposal. Many people worry that filing a consumer proposal will drop their credit card limit, this is not automatically the case.
Filing a consumer proposal will typically result in an R7 rating for 6 years from the date the proposal is filed, or three years from the day the proposal is complete, whichever comes first.
Filing multiple Consumer Proposal If you acquired more debt, you can't file another until the existing one is complete. You can't file another Consumer Proposal if you let your payments lapse on your existing one. Missing three payments will cause it to be annulled. If this happens, you may have to file for Bankruptcy.
If your total monthly income over the course of the next 60 months is less than $7,475 then you pass the means test and you may file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If it is over $12,475 then you fail the means test and don't have the option of filing Chapter 7.
