Out of insolvency

By on 18:02

People who find themselves struggling with financial problems for the first time may feel shame, and believe they are alone in their situation. This is obviously not the case of insolvency is a serious problem that affects many Quebec households. It is not impossible to get out of insolvency. Just arm yourself with good will, ask for help and select the solution that allows to regain control of its finances. 

Insolvency is the inability for a person or for a company to pay its debts. This failure can occur in the short, medium or long term. So you could say that insolvency is synonymous with debt. An insolvent person may have trouble getting a loan from a financial institution or to obtain credit, in addition to living a difficult situation on a daily basis. 

Contact a trustee in bankruptcy is a step in the right direction in your endeavor to get out of insolvency. Contrary to what their name might suggest, bankruptcy trustees are not involved only in the process of bankruptcy. You can get more advice and information on different solutions to your problems. 

If your debt ratio is not too high and you can apply for a loan from a financial institution, you may want to consider debt consolidation. Such a loan used to repay all your debts, and then you will only have one monthly payment to make to repay the financial institution. This method has the advantage of reducing your percentage interest and satisfy your creditors, if they harass you for repayment. 

If you can not turn to debt consolidation, consumer proposal could give you many benefits, and be less damaging to your credit than a bankruptcy. The consumer proposal is an agreement that you can offer to your creditors, with the help of a bankruptcy trustee. This agreement may involve spreading the payments over a longer repayment period of time, depending on your income, your situation and your budget. If the agreement is accepted, you pay your payments to the bankruptcy trustee, who in turn will take care to donate a portion to your creditors. They can not harass you or not then stop your services. 

If your creditors do not accept your consumer proposal, perhaps your trustee will suggest he turn you into personal bankruptcy. It is a procedure of last resort that your goods are delivered to the trustee, who will sell in order to repay your creditors. Some critical assets can not be seized, such as food, clothing, furniture needed to run your household and any property that is used in your business. When you are in bankruptcy, your creditors can no longer demand payment you: they will deal with the trustee. A bankruptcy can be a difficult time, but you can get rid of your debts and start fresh. 

Regardless of the method used to get out of insolvency, it is important then to ensure keep control of your finances to avoid falling into debt.
