  • Reduce Your Payments

    • Consumer Proposal


      Reduce your payments without going bankrupt?  Yes, it is possible! A Consumer proposal is a settlement of your debt resulting in a smaller, more manageable payment. It is tailored to the ability of an individual and means that you will only pay a portion of the debt outstanding without any ongoing interest, penalties or upfront fees.

      Steps:

      1. Contact Hardie & Kelly
      2. Develop an action plan.
      3. Put your plan into action.

      FAQs

      Q: How much does bankruptcy cost?

      A: Trustee fees, filing fees, and counselling fees are regulated by the government. The Trustee is usually paid out of the funds from the liquidation of your assets. If you have no assets available, you must make a monthly payments to pay the Trustee’s fees and disbursements. In the simplest cases, and if you have not been bankrupt before, this amounts to about $1,420 plus counselling costs and GST (roughly $1,800 in total). Hardie & Kelly Inc. offers payment plans that allow you to make payments over a period of time.
