Don\u2019t let your uncertainties prevent you from considering using a <a href=\"http:\/\/ginsberg-gingras.com\/en\/consumer-proposal\/\">consumer proposal<\/a> or declaring <a href=\"http:\/\/ginsberg-gingras.com\/en\/bankruptcy\/\">bankruptcy<\/a> to resolve your financial difficulties. Although less common among consumers, they are two simple solutions to repay your debts and free you from your obligations towards your creditors.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>These two solutions are similar, but they also have significant differences. Bankruptcy and consumer proposals have the same goal: to release you from your debts. This will free you from the anxiety and concerns related to your debt. Bankruptcy and consumer proposals are increasingly used to settle personal debts in Canada, so don\u2019t be ashamed of using one of these solutions if you are unable to repay your debts. A Licensed Insolvency Trustee\u2019s job is to choose a solution that suits your needs and financial situation while easing your worries.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I choose between bankruptcy and a consumer proposal?<\/h2>\n<p>The similarities and differences between bankruptcy and consumer proposals should not be ignored when the time comes to choose the right solution. It is important to consider the pros and cons of bankruptcy and a consumer proposal before making your choice. Also, remember that if you choose a consumer proposal, you can always change your mind and declare bankruptcy later. However, the reverse is not always possible; you cannot declare bankruptcy then revisit your decision and easily switch to a consumer proposal.\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"5598\" class=\"elementor elementor-5598 elementor-5442\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section data-dce-background-color=\"#008969\" data-dce-background-image-url=\"https:\/\/ginsberg-gingras.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bande_verte.jpg\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-31d68664 outils_prenez_trouver wide_block wide_block_blog elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"31d68664\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-73342f9b\" data-id=\"73342f9b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-dce-title-color=\"#FFFFFF\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-357d531c elementor-view-default elementor-position-block-start elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"357d531c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#rendezvous\" class=\"elementor-icon\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"Make an&lt;br&gt; appointment\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" id=\"Layer_1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 79 93.5\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 79 93.5;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><style type=\"text\/css\">\t.st0{fill:#FFFFFF;}\t.st1{fill:none;stroke:#FFFFFF;stroke-width:1.314;stroke-miterlimit:10;}<\/style><g>\t<g>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M54.6,37.2c1.3,0,2.3-1,2.3-2.3v-8.6c0-1.3-1-2.3-2.3-2.3c-1.3,0-2.3,1-2.3,2.3v8.6    C52.2,36.2,53.3,37.2,54.6,37.2\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M63.4,83.8H14.6c-2.3,0-4.2-2.1-4.2-4.7v-32h57.1v32C67.5,81.7,65.7,83.8,63.4,83.8 M63.4,28.3h-4.6V33h4.6    c2.3,0,4.2,2.1,4.2,4.7v4.8H10.4v-4.8c0-2.6,1.9-4.7,4.2-4.7h4.6v-4.6h-4.6c-4.9,0-8.8,4.2-8.8,9.3v41.5c0,5.1,4,9.3,8.8,9.3h48.8    c4.9,0,8.8-4.2,8.8-9.3V37.7C72.2,32.5,68.2,28.3,63.4,28.3\"><\/path>\t<\/g>\t<rect x=\"27.5\" y=\"28.3\" class=\"st0\" width=\"22.9\" height=\"4.6\"><\/rect>\t<g>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M23.4,37.2c1.3,0,2.3-1,2.3-2.3v-8.6c0-1.3-1-2.3-2.3-2.3c-1.3,0-2.3,1-2.3,2.3v8.6    C21,36.2,22.1,37.2,23.4,37.2\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M41.1,60.1h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V60.1z M43.1,51.9h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C45.1,52.8,44.2,51.9,43.1,51.9\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M57.4,60.1h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V60.1z M59.4,51.9h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C61.4,52.8,60.5,51.9,59.4,51.9\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M24.8,60.1h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V60.1z M26.8,51.9h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C28.8,52.8,27.9,51.9,26.8,51.9\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M41.1,75.4h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V75.4z M43.1,67.2h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C45.1,68.1,44.2,67.2,43.1,67.2\"><\/path>\t\t<path class=\"st0\" d=\"M24.8,75.4h-4.3v-4.3h4.3V75.4z M26.8,67.2h-8.3c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2v8.2c0,1.1,0.9,2,2,2h8.3c1.1,0,2-0.9,2-2    v-8.2C28.8,68.1,27.9,67.2,26.8,67.2\"><\/path>\t<\/g><\/g><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#rendezvous\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMake an<br> appointment\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6e1427 vis elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f6e1427\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
