How borrowing works locally

An application usually asks for identification, income evidence, banking details and a statement of obligations.

Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation. A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender.
