How borrowing works locally

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

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one. A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments.
