Licensed Insolvency Trustees (LITs)
We are federally regulated professionals who provide advice and services to
individuals and businesses with debt problems
We help folks from all walks of life and we can help you, too.
As Licensed Insolvency Trustees (LITs), we help people experiencing problems in repaying their debts. We accomplish this by providing practical advice and implementing strategies to reduce debt obligations.
We’re also the only professionals in Canada authorized to assist individuals in reducing or eliminating debts through a consumer proposal or bankruptcy. These government-sponsored debt relief programs are designed for those who cannot repay their debts in full. For some people, these options are far more practical and effective than relying on debt consolidation loans or employing the services of a debt settlement agency.
If you’re experiencing debt problems and are eager to find a solution, we can help you explore your options. No matter what financial difficulty you’ve found yourself in, we can map out a plan to get your finances back on track.
Our process is
federally
regulated
The Canadian government entrusts licensed Insolvency Trustees to help people fix their debt problems
Licensed Insolvency Trustees are individuals authorized by the Government of Canada to administer bankruptcies and consumer proposals. They must observe federal standards of practice required by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) and abide by a strict Code of Ethics. The Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB) sets the regulations for the industry, which all Licensed Insolvency Trustees must follow.
Previously, these debt experts were called bankruptcy trustees or trustees in bankruptcy. However, the OSB required the profession to use the designation of licensed insolvency trustee as of April 2016. The new title more accurately reflects the scope of services they provide.
Despite the name change, a Licensed Insolvency Trustee’s role remains the same today: to provide individuals with the broadest range of options to tackle their debt issues and improve their financial well-being.
At David Sklar & Associates, we take great pride in being part of an industry that helps people free themselves from crippling debts. When you team up with us, we’ll hold your hand and make the process as easy for you as possible. We’ll take care of all the necessary paperwork and give you the tools your need to succeed.
You don’t have to pay any fee to meet with one of our debt experts and learn about the debt relief options available. Don’t hesitate to contact us to book your free, no-obligation appointment – we serve customers in locations across Ontario!
Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Professional
A Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Professional (CIRP) is the most highly trained and educated debt expert in Canada. A CIRP-designated Licensed Insolvency Trustee is a debt professional who is licensed by the federal government to undertake insolvency proceedings such as consumer proposals and bankruptcies.
A Licensed Insolvency Trustee will deal directly with creditors on your behalf
Once you file a consumer proposal or bankruptcy you no longer need to speak to your creditors. We will speak to your creditors on your behalf and let them know they can longer peruse collections, or legal action against you. You can start living stress free again.
Our Licensed Insolvency Trustees offer free financial advice
You’re already under a great deal of financial stress, that’s why we offer free financial advice. It’s important that you are aware of the many unregulated companies that claim to help, but simply charge a referral fee to pass you along to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee.
