How borrowing works locally

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.

A lender may ask for proof of address, and a permanent address is a standard requirement for consumer credit. A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender.
