Consumer proposals are becoming one of the most popular debt management solutions for British Columbians struggling with debt. As an alternative to bankruptcy, a consumer proposal is a legally binding repayment agreement between you and your creditors. A Licensed Insolvency Trustee will negotiate on your behalf to settle your unsecured debt (credit cards, income tax debt, payday loans, etc.) into a single, interest-free payment.
Personal bankruptcy is a common debt solution that allows you to clear almost all your debt, including income tax debt, credit card debt, overdue utility bills, lines of credit, and loans. Before you decide to file for bankruptcy, it’s important to consider all other debt repayment options. Your Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) will help you decide if declaring bankruptcy is the best choice for you.
In all provinces and territories, you can generally keep essential items up to a certain value—like necessary clothing and household goods, most retirement savings, Registered Disability savings plans, and most life insurance policies and pension plans.

I am in the process of a consumer proposal and thanks to this company, I can slowly take a breath of fresh air. A fresh start - being able to eliminate my debts and finally get ahold of my financial freedom, as well as being able to manage my finances the right way.

Carla is so friendly and helpful. She answered all my questions promptly. She explained everything to me from day one and made it easy to understand the process. She gave me as much time as I needed to decide, once I made the decisions to move forward, she gave me step by step on what I needed to do to proceed. I feel like I can breathe a little easier. Karl Michael was so professional and looked over the proposal and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend using Grant Thornton.

Thank you so much for your help. The amount of stress that is gone has literally changed my mental and physical health. Debt is really horrible, to the point it nearly becomes all-consuming, but your whole process just made it all easy. From my first phone call to answering my emails for what I think are too many questions, your service and support are amazing.
