Consumer proposal

I have a couple of questions please:

1-Does a credit card with a zero balance have to be included in a proposal?

2-In your experience, will creditors accept a proposal which offers them less than 50% of what is owed even if that means getting more than if the individual files for bankruptcy?

Thank you..

Both GST and PST are debts that can be included and cleared through a bankruptcy or a proposal. As for the percentage recovery that is offered, in this case it sounds as if GST and PST will both be considered unsecured debts and share equally with all other unsecured creditors in any money made available for distribuiton.

The best thing to do is to simply contact a local trustee and with their help you can determine what a reasonable offer to your creditors would be.
