Generally speaking, the length of your proposal is under your control and can last anywhere from a few months to five years. Once you’ve made your final proposal payment, you will be relieved of the remainder of your unsecured debts that existed at the time you started the proposal (there are a few exceptions to this, which your Licensed Insolvency Trustee will discuss with you if applicable).
Your credit report will show that you filed a Consumer Proposal for three years after the completion of the proposal. During and after your proposal, it’s important to show lenders good financial behaviours — like paying off your ongoing debts quickly, not bouncing cheques and getting and using a secured credit card — to help rebuild your credit rating. A Consumer Proposal will be removed from your credit report 3 years after you've paid off all the dents according to the proposal, or 6 years from the date it was filed, whichever comes first. Taking control of your financial standing and building a stronger future is what Life-Changing Debt Solutions is all about.

Debt Solutions
Many may feel ashamed, embarrassed and completely overwhelmed about their debt. People experiencing debt-related stress often suffer from many associated health issues, such as sleepless nights, headaches, tension and more. And feeling out of control when it comes to managing their debt payments often prevents people from taking control of their financial situation. Not all debt results from overspending, living beyond one’s means, frivolous behavior or money mismanagement. To answer your questions about the stigma of debt, and to learn about the options available to you, tune into our Stigma of Debt VLOG series below with MNP's Licensed Insolvency Trustees.
