Consumer Proposals and Student Loans.

Student Loans

Table of Contents

After university – many former students are left with sizable student loans to pay.

What happens to student loans when a former student has masses of other unmanageable debt and is considering a Consumer Proposal?

If it has been more than seven years since the person ‘ceased to be a full-time or a part-time student’ then they might be able to include the student loans in their Proposal. However, if it has been less than seven years, they will most likely not be able to erase their student loans with a Proposal. Individuals need to speak with a Bankruptcy Trustee to review the specifics of their situation.

How does a Consumer Proposal work if the student loans cannot be erased in the Proposal?

In general, once it has been accepted by the majority of the unsecured creditors, the Proposal proceeds in the standard manner. Monthly payments are made to the Trustee, who disburses the payments to the unsecured creditors, including the holders of the student loans.

Once a Consumer Proposal is successfully completed, the former student is required to start making their student loan payments again. During the Consumer Proposal period, the interest on the student loans continues to be added to the debt, so it is likely that at the end of the Proposal, the total owing on the student loans will be more than when the Proposal started.

We suggest it might be in their best interest for the debtor to maintain a payment to the Student Loans Program, if they are able to afford this after taking into consideration their proposal payment and other obligations. Maintaining even the interest only portion, will keep the total loan within grasp.

If you have outstanding student loans and are considering a Consumer Proposal or a Bankruptcy, you need to speak with a Licensed Bankruptcy Trustee.

From the moment I sat down in the office, I felt welcome and at ease. Grace Cuffaro was both friendly and highly informative. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions in detail, making sure I understood before moving on. I was reassured throughout the process that I was making the right decision and that it was not uncommon nor anything to be ashamed of. I didn't expect my appointments to be such positive experiences, but that's exactly what they've been!

I was in a tough financial position and found myself searching for relief. I came across David Sklar & Associates page when doing my research on financial advice. The reviews were amazing, but I was concern because I didn’t know what to expect. I made the decision to set up a consultation and had the pleasure to meet with Jennifer Norton. Right from the beginning, she was attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant to meet with. The experience was painless and very educational. Jennifer made sure I understood my choices, answered my questions, and concerns promptly, in person, over the phone and via email. I’ve been working with Jennifer for a couple months now and I am pleased that Jennifer is the manager handling my file. I would and have recommend Jennifer Norton, David Sklar & Associates to anyone in need of direction regarding finances.
