How Donna managed her $17,000 debt and avoided Bankruptcy
Donna’s story
Facing reduced household earnings while assisting her adult son with his mental health, Donna accumulated $17,000 in debt. Unable to refinance and ineligible for a Part IX Debt Agreement due to a prior bankruptcy, she wanted to avoid filing for bankruptcy again. We secured a 5-year Informal Arrangement, providing an affordable payment plan.

Keeping the workshop open
When COVID hit, John’s mechanic workshop suffered a severe downturn, leaving him with $113,000 in debt across seven creditors. Unable to refinance and determined to avoid bankruptcy to protect his business and family, we negotiated a 5-year Informal Agreement – reducing his debt by 20% into a single affordable payment plan, keeping his business running and his livelihood intact.
