Consumer Proposal vs Bankruptcy
July 21st, 2008 by Questions
I am considering a consumer proposal. If I`m asked by any banking institute during or after the proposal if I`ve ever been bankrupt or declared bankrupt, do I say `yes` (is a consumer proposal `bankruptcy?), or do I say `no` and explain I have made a proposal? Thank you for your help.

As long as the credit application asks whether or not you have ever filed for bankruptcy then you should answer “no” if you’ve only ever filed a consumer proposal.
If the credit application asks whether or not you’ve declared yourself to be insolvent then your answer will be yes. I have never seen a credit application that asked if you’ve decalred yourself to be insolvent, but clients have told me they exist.
Good luck rebuilding your credit.
