FAQ
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.
A consumer proposal does tend to have a negative effect on your credit score rating. However, the negative effect is less drastic compared to bankruptcy.
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.
Debts Not Eligible for Inclusion Secured Debts: Secured debts are backed by collateral, such as a home or car. Examples include mortgages and car loans. These debts typically are not included in a Consumer Proposal, which means you can keep the collateral asset as long as you continue to make the payments.
In most cases, you can qualify for a secured credit card and can begin rebuilding your credit score while in an active consumer proposal. Most people can see significant improvement within 2-3 years after completion and qualify for larger loans at better interest rates.
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.
