      Why You Must Work With a Licensed Insolvency Trustee

      In Canada, many unregulated "debt settlement" agencies charge high upfront fees for unofficial plans that offer zero legal protection. Under federal law, a Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) is the only professional legally authorized to administer Consumer Proposals and Personal Bankruptcies under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA).

      🛡️

      Immediate Legal Protection

      Filing through an LIT imposes a statutory Stay of Proceedings that legally forces creditors, collection agencies, and the CRA to stop wage garnishments, lawsuits, and phone calls instantly.

      🏛️

      Federally Regulated Fees

      Trustee fees are regulated by the federal government and built directly into your single monthly payment. You never pay upfront or out-of-pocket setup fees for initial consultations.

      🤝

      100% Confidential & Flexible

      Complete your debt evaluation, document execution, and mandatory financial counselling in-person at a local office or 100% remotely from home via phone or video.
