How borrowing works locally

A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender.

A payday advance is repaid on a pay date, while an instalment loan is repaid over a set number of payments. Payment history is reported to credit agencies, and that record is what builds or damages a credit file over time.
