If you are struggling to manage your debt, require debt relief and all other options have been exhausted, then it might be time to consider filing for bankruptcy.
Residents in Saskatchewan are eligible to file for bankruptcy if they are at least $1,000 in debt and cannot pay back what they owe.
If you are considering bankruptcy, then you should consult a local licensed trustee who can help guide you through the process and bring you back onto the road to financial recovery. Most property declared exempt will vary as provincial bankruptcy exemptions will apply.
If you do file, you can take comfort in the knowledge that some items will be protected from seizure during the bankruptcy process.
Harris & Partners is a specialist Bankruptcy Trustee with offices based across Canada, providing debt relief solutions to individuals and businesses struggling to manage their debt.
Contact us today for a free consultation with one of our licensed insolvency trustees and we’ll find a debt relief solution that will get your finances back on track.
Debt consolidation in Saskatchewan
If juggling multiple payments is wearing you down, you might be considering a debt consolidation loan. But that doesn’t always address the real problem.
A consumer proposal might be the better way to go. Here’s how it can help:
- Cut down the total debt you owe.
- Stop all interest charges.
- Protection from creditor pressure.
- Keep your essential assets.
We’re here to help you find a debt solution that works. Reach out to our Licensed Insolvency Trustees today and take the first step towards a debt-free future.
Consult a Licensed Insolvency Trustee in Saskatchewan
Legally, only a Licensed Insolvency Trustee is authorized to administer proceedings for a bankruptcy or consumer proposal. If other debt relief agencies try to offer you consumer proposals or bankruptcy options, you should never pay anyone who isn’t a licensed trustee.
Other companies are not legally authorised to do this for you and so you should make sure you consult a trustee when it comes to managing your debt.
How does a consumer proposal work in Saskatchewan?
Filing a consumer debt proposal in Saskatchewan allows individuals to work closely with a Bankruptcy Trustee in order to negotiate a reduced and more manageable debt repayment plan with creditors.
On your behalf, your trustee will file the proposal and liaise with creditors to make your debt more manageable. All you have to do is make a single monthly payment and this will put an end to the dreaded calls and threats.
If you’re a resident in Saskatchewan and you find yourself owing a debt of $250,000 or less, then a consumer proposal could be the option for you.
If you are based in Saskatchewan and want to find out more about the process of filing a consumer proposal, get in touch with us today.
Consumer proposals: A better choice than debt consolidation
If you’re struggling with multiple debts, a debt consolidation loan might not be the best choice. While it can make repayments more manageable, as they are pulled into one single loan, the amount you owe won’t change.
Consumer proposals are usually the best alternative. They allow you to repay only a portion of your unsecured debts over a period of up to 5 years.
What are the benefits of a consumer proposal?
The main benefits of a consumer proposal include:
- Reducing your debt and paying back only a portion of what you owe.
- Getting legal protection against creditor actions.
- Easier debt management due to interest-free repayments.
- A simplified repayment made in one monthly transfer
Compared to debt consolidation, consumer proposals can be more effective and less stressful. To find out if this is the best debt solution for you, give us a call today.
