If your debt load is becoming overwhelming, and minimum monthly payments are finding you no further ahead than the previous month, a consumer proposal could be the right solution for you. Many people these days are trying to manage large debt loads and are feeling maxed out. Despite the amount you owe, these debts need to be paid, and somehow you have to find a way to pay them. A consumer proposal could provide you the relief for which you are looking.
A simple way of describing a consumer is as follows:
A consumer proposal is a legally binding formal process put forth to pay a portion or all of your debt, back to your unsecured creditors. These payments can be made over a maximum time frame of 5 years.
How can Welker & Associates help?
If you meet with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee at Welker & Associates, you will meet with the only professional who can assist you in putting forth a consumer proposal to your creditors. We will sit down with you to create a plan that fits with your needs, both now and in the near future, ensuring the proposed payment is something you can manage.
Once a consumer proposal is filed, your creditors will be notified, and phone calls and letters should stop immediately. The interest accruing on your debt load will freeze, your repayment amount will be made to the Welker & Associates and garnishments imposed by your regular creditors will be lifted. Should the consumer proposal be accepted by your creditors, it is legally binding for all parties affected. Continuing on a regular basis, dividend payments will be forwarded to each of your creditors.
In addition, a consumer proposal typically does not incorporate your assets. It allows you to carry on with existing mortgage and vehicle loans, as long as the payments are up-to-date at the time of filing, and are kept up-to-date going forward.
