In a world where financial challenges are an inevitable part of life, finding effective solutions to manage debt becomes paramount. Alberta residents facing overwhelming debt often turn to consumer proposals as a viable option to regain control of their finances.
In this article, we’ll explore what a consumer proposal is, its advantages, and how Blanchard & Company stands out as the best choice for those seeking financial debt relief in Alberta.
Understanding Consumer Proposals
A consumer proposal is a formal, legally binding process designed to help individuals in Alberta deal with their debt. It is an arrangement negotiated between the debtor and their creditors, facilitated by a Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT). Unlike bankruptcy, a consumer debt proposal allows individuals to retain their assets while restructuring their debt repayment plan to make it more manageable.
Consumer Proposals in Alberta are tailored to individual situations, which makes them a suitable option for many. The consumer proposal increases the likelihood of acceptance, due to favorable terms for the creditors featured in them. There are even times when formal meetings with the creditors are not necessary anymore. If the consumer proposal is successful, it can guarantee a reduction in debt burden, potentially going as low as 20% to 25% of the original debt.
Advantages of Consumer Proposals in Alberta
- Asset Protection
One of the primary advantages of a consumer proposal is the protection of assets. Unlike bankruptcy, where certain assets may be liquidated to repay creditors, a consumer proposal allows individuals to keep their possessions while making affordable payments over a set period.
- Debt Reduction
Consumers can negotiate with creditors to settle for a portion of the total debt owed. This reduction can make repayment more feasible, allowing individuals to clear their debts without the burden of the full amount.
- End to Creditor Harassment
Upon filing a consumer proposal, an automatic stay of proceedings is initiated, putting an end to creditor harassment, wage garnishments, and legal actions. This provides individuals with much-needed relief and a chance to regain control of their financial debt situation.
