How borrowing works locally

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

A credit file is compiled by private agencies from information lenders and other creditors report. A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.
