Consumer Proposal vs. Refinancing Your Home to Pay Off High-Interest Debt: Why Refinancing May Be the Better Choice If high-interest debt is weighing you down, you might be considering a consumer proposal or refinancing your home. Here’s why refinancing could be the smarter choice. Consumer Proposal A consumer proposal is a legal agreement to pay back a portion of your debt, managed through a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. While it can halt collection calls, it also impacts your credit score for up to three years and limits your access to new credit. Why Refinancing is Often Better Lower Interest Rates: Mortgages generally offer much lower rates than credit cards, allowing you to consolidate high-interest debt more affordably. Protects Your Credit Score: Unlike a consumer proposal, refinancing has no negative impact on your credit if payments are on time. Access to More Funds: If you have equity, refinancing can cover more debt upfront than a consumer proposal. More Flexibility: Refinancing gives you control over your finances without a legally binding repayment plan. When Refinancing Makes Sense Refinancing is often best if you have enough home equity, want to save on interest, and need a solution without the credit hit of a consumer proposal.
