The experience of our Licensed Insolvency Trustees
Our Licensed Insolvency Trustees are professionals experienced in debt solutions. Their input on your consumer proposal will maximize its chance of being accepted by your creditors without compromising your basic needs. At Ginsberg Gingras, listening to your needs is our top priority, and our Licensed Insolvency Trustees ensure they understand your financial requirements so you can balance your budget.
Our LITs also take into account a number of factors when drawing up a consumer proposal. The settlement amount offered will be based on your budget, which will include a small sum to alleviate unforeseen expenses and emergencies.
On the one hand, an acceptance rate of 98% demonstrates our LITs’ skills for negotiating with creditors. On the other, it also demonstrates their ability to appropriately counsel debtors when developing a consumer proposal. These skills are, without question, key factors to consider during your debt resolution process.

The impartiality of our Licensed Insolvency Trustees
At Ginsberg Gingras, we are known for being impartial professionals who seek the best solution for all parties involved. Especially true in consumer proposals, the role of our Licensed Insolvency Trustees is to find the middle ground between the needs of creditors and those of debtors.
An appropriate consumer proposal must be agreed upon by all parties. Your budget must be respected, but creditors must also receive their fair share. The sums paid to creditors in a consumer proposal must also be better than what they would receive in a bankruptcy.
The three key elements of an acceptable consumer proposal
- Takes your ability to repay creditors into account while considering your essential needs and anticipating future expenses.
- Makes a balanced and reasonable proposal to maximize its chances of acceptance.
- Can justify the proposal or make corrections if necessary at a creditor meeting.

The consumer proposal process with Ginsberg Gingras
Some people hesitate to make an appointment, because the idea of meeting a Licensed Insolvency Trustee frightens them. For one thing, they can feel shame about divulging their financial situation. For another, because of our previous title, “Trustee in Bankruptcy”, they often have an erroneous perception of what we do.
Many people are under the impression that bankruptcy is the only solution we offer. However, the work we carry out is very diverse. The consumer proposal is one of these solutions, and it prevents bankruptcy.
Here are the steps that a professional at Ginsberg Gingras follows if a consumer proposal is an appropriate solution for you:
- Meeting with the LIT
- Prepare a review showing:
- Assets
- List of debts
- Inventory of debts
- Budget analysis
- Verification of ability to repay debts
- Development of a solution based on repayment ability
- Writing and filing of the consumer proposal to the OSB as well as to creditors
- Stopping collection actions taken against the debtor (seizures, collection calls, etc.)
- Acceptance (or renegotiation) of the consumer proposal
- Two budgetary consultation meetings
- Managing payment deposits and ensuring agreement is respected until completed
- Obtaining the Certificate of Full Performance of the consumer proposal
The process leading to the acceptance of a consumer proposal is nothing to be afraid of. If your debts are causing anxiety and uncertainty, know that you can stop this with the right solution.
