Most accumulated this debt due to overextension of credit or unexpected expenses and attempted to remedy their situation on their own before seeking help from a licensed trustee. Prior to seeking help, the common sentiment amongst this majority was that they would never be debt-free. However, following seeking help from a licensed trustee, the majority felt they now had a bright financial future, free from the stress of debt.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major findings from the 2012 BC Consumer Debt Study is that nearly all of those polled, 79.5 percent, filed bankruptcy. From this, the study points to the need for increased public education around financial management, how to identify financial red flags that could lead to uncontrollable debt and increased awareness of consumer proposals as a proactive option for debt relief. Consumer proposals are an effective, less severe alternative to bankruptcy. However, financial problems need to be identified before becoming completely unmanageable for one to qualify. The study findings show that increased education of the public, specifically the younger demographics, could lead to a decrease in the proportion of bankruptcies versus consumer proposals in the future and an improvement in the overall financial health of the B.C. consumer.<\/p>\n<p>Blair Mantin, VP of Sands &amp; Associates shares, \u201cThe results of this study take a very acute snapshot of the trends and information that are contributing to and shaping consumer debt in British Columbia. From the findings, we can conclude that much more education is needed to inform the public of how to properly manage their finances and be educated on the available options should they find themselves in financial turmoil\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The next BC Consumer Debt Study is intended to run in 2013 and will document the progression of consumer debt levels and causes in B.C.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sands-trustee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SA_SandsSurvey_Report2.pdf\">Click here to read the full report in PDF format<\/a><\/p>\n<p>About Sands &amp; Associates<\/p>\n<p>Sands &amp; Associates is British Columbia\u2019s largest firm of licensed, expert Proposal Administrators and Bankruptcy Trustees focused exclusively on personal and small-business insolvency services.\u00a0 Operating from 10 offices in the Lower Mainland, Sands &amp; Associates uses a non-judgmental, empathetic, affordable approach to helping resolve financial difficulties.
