Question:
I am considering submitting a consumer proposal and was wondering about the below:
1. If my proposal is rejected, will the creditors expect a full payment or can I revert back to making the same monthly payments as prior to submitting the proposal?

Sepsis and septic shock can result from an infection anywhere in the body, including pneumonia says Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer Steven Peck. It is known that in the United States, health care-associated infections (HCAI) affect 1.7 million hospitalizations every year. And, the two most common conditions are sepsis and pneumonia. In February 2010, a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, confirmed the high costs resulting from caring for patients: an more than $8.4 billion per year. In addition to this, the study found that such infections cost an average of an extra 11 days in the hospital and $33,000 dollars, per person.
Sometimes called blood poisoning, sepsis is the body’s often deadly response to infection or injury.
Question: There is no equity in our house. We have two mortgages on the house and the total of those mortgages equals about what the house is worth or maybe more than what the house is worth. So if we were to sell for the total amount owing on the house, wiping out both mortgages, what affect would that have if we were to sell the house first and then declare bankruptcy?

Be sure to keep all documents relating to the sale. It
