Are you constantly worrying about bills and payments? In cities like Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge, the weight of unpaid debts can feel overwhelming, impacting your mental and emotional well-being every day. It’s hard to focus when anxiety is always just beneath the surface.
Living paycheck to paycheck, unable to save, or even dream about your future – debt can trap you in a cycle where life’s possibilities seem out of reach. Whether buying a home in Southwest Edmonton, planning a family trip to the Calgary Stampede, or even enjoying time in Red Deer, debt takes away your freedom to live life on your terms.
Missing payments can hurt your credit report score, making it harder to get a loan, rent a home, or even secure a good deal on things you need. The stress of knowing your credit is suffering only adds to the burden of financial hardship.
Debt doesn’t just impact your finances – it affects your relationships with those closest to you. Whether you're in Fort McMurray, West Lethbridge, or any of Alberta’s vibrant communities, constant worry and stress can lead to tension and arguments, leaving you feeling isolated and disconnected from the people you care about most.

With our team of experienced Licensed Insolvency Trustees, we don’t just provide solutions—we prioritize your peace of mind and long-term financial health so you can start rebuilding your future with confidence.
A consumer proposal is a legally binding agreement with your unsecured creditors, allowing you to repay a portion of your debt over a flexible period of up to five years. This alternative is ideal for those facing high interest rates, missed payments, or wage garnishments. Licensed Insolvency Trustees (LITs) at BNA Debt Solutions are here to guide you through the process.
To be eligible in Alberta, your unsecured debt must not exceed a set limit under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. You need to have a steady income to make fixed payments over time. Consumer proposals in Alberta help protect your assets, like your home or car.

A consumer proposal stands out for its affordable monthly payments, ability to protect assets, and opportunity to regain control of your financial future without the harsh consequences of bankruptcy.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of how consumer proposals measure up against other common options like bankruptcy, debt consolidation, and credit counselling.
Bankruptcy is often seen as a last resort due to its severe consequences. It can lead to a permanent public record, making it difficult to rebuild your credit rating. Additionally, bankruptcy might require you to surrender certain assets and face a more significant impact on your credit score.
If you’re looking for a debt relief option with less severe consequences, a consumer proposal could be a better solution. It allows you to reduce your debt while keeping your assets and avoiding the long-term impact of bankruptcy.

Lower Monthly Payments: Your payments can be restructured into one affordable, fixed monthly amount, giving you some breathing room and less financial stress.
