Conditions

There are several types of financial services in Raymond Chabot besides financial and budget improvement courses:

Debt Consolidation

Raymond Chabot helps to put clients in contact with a creditor to apply for a debt consolidation loan. If a client has several high-interest debts, applying for this type of loan is possible. The client will get a sum of money for paying off multiple debts.

Consumer Proposal

For the debt litigation issues, the insolvency officers of Raymond Chabot can provide solutions. They are well trained to manage debt cases. A consumer proposal is a negotiation with creditors to repay the client’s debt. The Licensed Insolvency Trustee will file the documents for the consumer proposal process after signing the few documents.

Bankruptcy

The final decision on financial insolvency is the bankruptcy decision. Technically, a client can qualify with $1,000 of unsecured debt; besides, there is no maximum debt limit. Any eligible debts will be eliminated instead of repaying creditors. The client should make a series of payments over a minimum period of 9 months.

Voluntary Deposit

The agreement with the court allows clients to commit to paying back the debt in monthly payments to the court. They will equal around 30% of your gross salary (before taxes) until 100% of your debt has been repaid. It’s a bankruptcy alternative. Your financial counselor will let your know if this is the right solution.

Refusing an insolvent succession

This solution can help if a client has become the heir of the deceased’s debt which is greater than the client’s assets.

If you work with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee at Raymond Chabot, the company will help you liquidate the succession’s property.
