?The latest data shows a steady trend in Canada that bankruptcy is on the decline and Canadians are taking more control over their financial future,? said David Smith, Trustee in Bankruptcy, and Co-Founder of Personal Bankruptcy Canada, Inc.?We are working with more and more Canadians to help them reduce their debt, and hopefully, avoid bankruptcy by filing consumer proposals, among other options.?
Consumer proposals are court-approved debt repayment arrangements allowed for by a provision in Canada?s Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. During the third quarter of 2011, the number of consumer proposals filed increased more than six percent over the second quarter.
The proposals are filed with the Canadian courts through a Trustee in Bankruptcy. If accepted, the proposals allows individuals and businesses to control their debt without filing bankruptcy, and at the same time, pay a portion of their debt, which is agreed upon by their creditors, over a pre-determined period of time.
