A Closer Look at Insolvency Stats – Feb 2017

May 18, 2017 by admin

Consumer insolvencies in BC increased overall in February 2017 by 3.5 percent from January 2017.  Consumer proposals increased 8.5 percent while bankruptcies decrease 3.0 percent.

The proportion of proposals in consumer insolvencies in BC accounted for 59.25 percent during February while they account for 54.63 percent of all February 2017 insolvencies across Canada.

Consumer insolvencies in BC for the 12-month period ending February, 2017, decreased by 8.5 percent compared with the 12-month period ending February 2016. Consumer bankruptcies decreased by 17.2 percent, while consumer proposals increased by 0.6 percent.

It is not unusual for insolvencies to be down at this time of year, but we expect that the March figures will be higher than the previous.

The consumer proposal filings show 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 56.9 percent during the 12-month period ending February 2017, up from 52.4 percent during the 12-month period ending February 2016. Again, it indicates the popularity of consumer proposals as a way for consumers to deal with their debt and with dealing with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee over other unregulated providers.
