A closer look at insolvency stats – November 2016

February 8, 2017 by admin

Consumer insolvencies in BC in November 2016 increased overall by 12.4 percent from October, 2016.  Consumer proposals increased 11.6 percent while bankruptcies increased 5.3 percent.

The proportion of proposals in consumer insolvencies in BC increased to 60.0 percent during November while they account for 49.9 percent of all 2016 consumer insolvencies.

Consumer insolvencies in BC for the 12-month period ending November, 2016, decreased overall by 5.6 percent compared with the 12-month period ending November, 2015. Consumer bankruptcies decreased by 23.3 percent, while consumer proposals increased by 11.6 percent.

The increase in the percentage of consumer proposal filings shows the increasing popularity of dealing with debt over bankruptcies and other non-legislated options. It also indicates that consumers are seeing the benefits of using a Licensed Insolvency Trustee over other service providers.

The proportion of proposals in consumer insolvencies in BC was 56.4 percent during the 12-month period ending November, 2016, up from 50.1 percent during the 12-month period ending November, 2015. Again, it indicates the popularity of consumer proposals as a way for consumers to deal with their debt over bankruptcies and other non-legislated options.
For the 12-month period ending November, 2016, consumer insolvency filings accounted for 97.0 percent of all insolvency filings.
