What Exactly Is A Consumer Proposal?
Think of a consumer proposal as a compromise between you and your creditors that is tailored to your individual situation. It is a legally binding process that allows you to settle your debts for less than you owe based on what you can afford. A consumer proposal in Nova Scotia can be filed by an individual whole debts do not exceed $250,000 (excluding a mortgage on the person’s main residence). Instead of drowning in multiple payments, a consumer proposal combines your unsecured debts into one manageable monthly payment. This means less stress and more control over your finances. Plus it stops those harassing phone calls from collectors and stops any legal actions by unsecured creditors
Why Choose a Consumer Proposal?
Choosing a Consumer Proposal in Nova Scotia is like a opening a door to financial freedom. Here’s why it might be the perfect solution for you:
1. Affordability – Your monthly payments are based on what you realistically can afford to pay, not on what creditors demand. This means you can afford to live while getting out of debt.
2. Protection – Once your consumer proposal is approved, actions by creditors are stopped by the “Stay of Proceedings”.
3. Interest Free – Unlike other forms of debt management, consumer proposals are interest free. You only pay back the amount agreed to without any added interest cost.
4. Peace of Mind – Knowing you’re on a structured path to being debt free brings peace of mind. Its a step towards a stress free life.
5. Credit Score Improvement – While a consumer proposal will be noted on your credit report, it is often seen more favourably than declaring bankruptcy. Plus we will help you on the path towards rebuilding your credit.
