Advantages of a consumer proposal vs bankruptcy
A consumer proposal will allow you the opportunity to have it removed from your credit report much more quickly than a bankruptcy. It will also allow you to rebuild your credit score after it’s approved by your creditors, which only takes 45 days.

Advantages of a consumer proposal vs credit counselling
A consumer proposal allows you to settle your debt for much less than what you owe. In contrast a debt management plan under a credit counselling agency will require you to repay 100% of your debt and will still negatively affect your credit.

Avoid this scam when filing a consumer proposal
Do not use third -party intermediaries such as debt consolidation companies to file a consumer proposal. Many of them will ask you to pay up to thousands of dollars in unnecessary fees to bring your file to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. Only an LIT can file and administer a consumer proposal.
