I honestly was experiencing so much anxiety and depression over my debt. I was referred by a friend and it honestly took me over a year to actually contact the firm because I thought nobody could help me with the amount of debt I had. Luckily for me when I finally reached out... Rebecca was reassuring and started the process immediately! I am now repaying and rebuilding my credit as well as sleeping well and have been relieved of great anxiety. If you're overwhelmed with debt and feel there's no way out, I implore you to contact Hoyes, Michalos & Associates - Consumer Proposal & Licensed Insolvency Trustee, they will find a solution for you too.

Signs You Should Speak With an Insolvency Trustee
When outstanding debt starts to feel overwhelming, it may be time to seek professional advice. If you’re constantly worried about bills, receiving frequent calls from creditors, falling behind on mortgage or car payments or feeling the weight of high-interest loans, help is available.
As Licensed Insolvency Trustees in Windsor, our team is here to help. Our judgment-free confidential consultations include actionable steps to help you regain control of your financial situation.
Consumer Proposals in Windsor
A consumer proposal is a legally binding debt relief option and alternative to bankruptcy available to Windsor residents struggling with unsecured debts. Hoyes Michalos can help you negotiate a consumer proposal, allowing you to repay a portion of your debt over time without interest. Hoyes, Michalos has a 99% success rate for consumer proposals we file. We work with you to craft an offer you can afford.
Consumer proposals are particularly beneficial for those looking to avoid bankruptcy while protecting assets, such as your home and car. Key benefits of consumer proposals include:
- Stops creditor actions immediately
- Allows you to pay less than the full amount owed
- Freezes interest on your debts
- Restructures payments to align with your financial situation
- Does not require good credit, unlike debt consolidation loans
- Provides a clear path to resolve debt without needing additional loans
- The cost of a consumer proposal is known upfront
- Debts are eliminated upon completion of the payments
A consumer proposal can only be filed with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee like Hoyes Michalos. Learn how to file a consumer proposal or contact our Windsor team today to talk about how a consumer proposal can help you get out of debt and avoid bankruptcy.
Debt Consolidation vs. Consumer Proposal
Managing multiple debt payments can be overwhelming, and consolidating them into one monthly payment might seem like the perfect solution. However, many consolidation loans come with high interest rates, and qualifying can be difficult if you’re already experiencing credit challenges.
A consumer proposal offers a different approach to debt consolidation. You can reduce your debt by up to 80% and combine payments without taking on a new loan. Plus, a consumer proposal provides legal protection from creditors, stops wage garnishments, and helps you keep your assets while working toward becoming debt-free.
Credit Counselling and Debt Management Plans
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) could be a solution for Windsor residents with unsecured debts. However, DMPs typically require full repayment of the debt, and creditor participation is voluntary. You can lower the interest you pay, but you’ll still need to repay 100% of what you owe, and not all debts can be included in a DMP.
For many, a consumer proposal delivers additional advantages, such as reducing the total current debt and providing legal protection from creditors.
Filing Personal Bankruptcy in Windsor
While bankruptcy in Ontario may be considered a last resort, there are times when it represents the most appropriate solution for achieving lasting debt relief. At our Windsor office, our experienced Licensed Insolvency Trustees provide comprehensive guidance to help you determine if bankruptcy is your best path forward. We’ll evaluate your unique financial situation and explain how bankruptcy could help eliminate your unsecured debts while providing essential protection from creditor actions.
We recognize that contemplating bankruptcy is a significant and often emotional decision. Our Windsor team brings both expertise and compassion to every consultation, taking time to thoroughly explain the bankruptcy process, its implications, and how it may affect both you and your loved ones. We’ll address your concerns about assets, income, and family obligations, ensuring you have a complete understanding of your rights and responsibilities throughout the process of filing bankruptcy.
Our role as Licensed Insolvency Trustees goes beyond just filing paperwork – we serve as your advocate and guide, helping you navigate each step while creating a structured plan for your financial recovery. With our Windsor team’s support, you can move forward with confidence, knowing you have a clear strategy for rebuilding your financial future.
