How borrowing works locally

A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender.

Disclosure requirements mean the cost of borrowing must be stated before an agreement is signed. Payment history is reported to credit agencies, and that record is what builds or damages a credit file over time.

The Alberta rules that apply

Provincial or territorial law decides who may lend in Alberta, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list that names the regulator responsible.
