creditor

Once the consumer proposal has gone into effect and the debtor pays one of the creditors a cash amount without informing the other creditors, does this make the consumer proposal void?

What this is referred to is a fraudulent preference and it is an offense under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. There are a number of things that can happen as a result of this, but you are right that it can be used to as a reason to nullify a proposal. This is not a guarantee, but it is a very serious issue and one that can definately be detrimental to the proposal itself.
