What forms of debt solutions are there?

One of the most common questions that I am asked is “What options do I have to deal with my debts?” There are several answers to this question depending on where you are in the debt cycle and the level of debt you are carrying. Each individual’s circumstances are different and hence requires an individual analysis. The range of options may include one or more of the following:

Reviewing your budget, spending habits and devising a debt repayment plan;
Restructuring your debt through a consolidation loan;
Self-negotiating a settlement offer directly with your creditors;
Dealing with your creditors through a more formal process such as the Orderly Payment of Debts;
Making a formal offer of settlement with your creditors through a Consumer Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act; or lastly
Making an assignment in bankruptcy when no other option is viable.

Each of the options have their own pro’s and con’s. Sitting down with a Licenced Insolvency Trustee should be your first point of contact in reviewing your options and coming up with a debt solution that is right for you. There are many options available to help you deal with your debts, depending on where you are in the debt cycle and how much is owed.
