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.

The solution
Comprehensive financial assessment
Practical guidance

Complete transparency
The result
Donna successfully executed an Informal Agreement, experiencing immediate financial relief and peace of mind. The outcome eliminated the threat of a second bankruptcy, ceased all creditor harassment, and provided a realistic, stress-free framework to become debt-free.
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.
Consolidating unexpected family debt
A change in employment left Emma struggling to support herself and her son through his mental health challenges, accumulating $17,000 in debt across four creditors. Unable to refinance and determined to avoid bankruptcy, we set up an Informal Agreement that consolidated everything into a single, realistic repayment plan – protecting her property and keeping her finances on track.
