How The Process Works
Here’s how filing a consumer proposal online works:
1. Initial consultation. You must first schedule a virtual appointment with an LIT. During this consultation, you’ll discuss your financial situation, goals and options for debt relief, including the possibility of a consumer proposal.
2. Proposal preparation. If a consumer proposal is deemed suitable, the LIT will guide you through preparing the proposal documents. They’ll ensure the proposal accurately reflects your financial circumstances and repayment capabilities.
3. Filing the proposal. Once the proposal is finalized, D. & A. MacLeod will file it on your behalf with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada. This marks the official start of the consumer proposal process.
4. Creditors’ meeting. After the proposal is filed, a meeting with your creditors will be scheduled. During this meeting, your creditors can vote on whether to accept or reject the proposal.
5. Implementation. If the majority of your creditors accept the proposal, it becomes legally binding, and you can begin making payments as outlined in the agreement.
