What Is Debt Settlement?

Debt Settlement may be used to describe one of several solutions designed to eliminate your unsecured debts through renegotiation or a legal process such as a consumer proposal or bankruptcy. There are a variety of informal settlement options including trying to negotiate directly with your creditors or having a debt counsellor propose a new repayment plan. As Licensed Insolvency Trustees we are the only professionals in Canada that are able to administer formal debt settlement solutions through the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Filing for bankruptcy and filing a consumer proposal are the two formal options that are regulated by the federal government.

It really is a shame/tragedy what the governments of Canada/Alberta have done public policy wise to crush the individual economies of its citizens, however, I am grateful for the services of Goth & Company in these trying times for helping me address the situation professionally and accountably. Thank you for your help. Highly recommend this business in the Edmonton area and Northern Alberta.

I had no trouble feeling taken care of even from the first phone conversation I had with a Goth trustee. They spent time outlining all of my options and determining which would be best for me. Every query received a thorough response. I had a great experience with Goth and company, and I wholeheartedly endorse them. Do not hesitate to call them.
