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 is included on your credit report and negatively impacts your credit score for three years after completion. When you are rebuilding your credit score after completing your Proposal, some financial institutions will treat a Proposal on your credit report the same way as they do a 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.
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. You must turn over all your credit cards to your Licensed Insolvency Trustee when you file for bankruptcy.
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.
The faster you complete your proposal payments, the sooner it will be removed from your credit report and the faster you will be able to rebuild your credit score. In 2019, the credit bureaus in Canada shortened how long they retain information regarding a consumer proposal.
