Paying off Consumer Proposal Early
May 6th, 2006 by Questions
Can you pay off a Consumer Proposal early?? Is there any risk or benefit to doing this?? Also, would the creditors in the proposal be able to come after me for any more money that what was set out in the proposal??
Thanks for any information you can provide me.
