How borrowing works locally

A prepayment privilege allows a borrower to pay more than the scheduled amount, sometimes with a charge attached.

A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender. Debt management plans are administered by accredited credit counsellors, and they are not loans.
