  • 3 The terms of the proposal, as acceped by the creditors, are executed.

    Make regular (usually monthly) payments to the Trustee for distribution to creditors (proposal can be paid in full at any time).

    Attend two financial counselling sessions.

  • 4 The proposal is completed, achieving final settlement of your debts.

    After your last payment, the Trustee will make a final distribution to your creditors and issue you a Certificate of Full Performance
