proposal over $75,000

I have debt totalling 116,00.00. I am having trouble meeting monthly payments. Can I apply for a consumer proposal or do I have to claim bankruptcy.

Right now the eligibility limit on consumer proposals is $75,000, just as you have identified. This doesn’t mean that you can’t file a proposal, it just cannot be a consumer proposal. There is a different class of proposals that is used if your debts exceed the $75,000 level. This type of proposal is referred to as a Division I proposal and I would suggest you contact a local trustee for more details on this type of proposal.
