How Spergel Helps With Mortgage Debt Relief

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but these are some of the debt relief mortgage options we help Canadians explore every day:

Government Assistance Programs

There are federal and provincial programs that support struggling homeowners. We’ll help you understand what you qualify for and guide you through the process.

These programs may include temporary payment support, interest relief, or emergency housing grants, depending on your financial situation and location.

Mortgage Modification

Lenders may agree to adjust your terms — such as lowering your interest rate or extending your amortization — making your payments more manageable.

A successful modification can reduce your monthly payments and help you avoid falling further behind on your mortgage.

Mortgage Payment Deferral

Some lenders allow short-term pauses on your mortgage payments. While this doesn’t erase your debt, it can give you breathing room in a crisis.

Interest will continue to accrue during the deferral period, so it’s important to plan for how payments will resume afterward.

Consumer Proposal

A consumer proposal is a legal agreement that reduces unsecured debts by up to 80% — including credit card or personal loan debt — while protecting your home. It’s one of the most effective mortgage debt relief programs if your home is at risk due to other unmanageable debts.

By reducing your overall debt load, more of your income can be dedicated to staying current on your mortgage.

Debt Consolidation

Combine multiple debts (like credit card balances or high-interest loans) into a single, more manageable monthly payment. If you qualify, this can ease your total debt burden and help protect your mortgage.

You may be able to use a home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC) to access a lower interest rate and simplify your repayment schedule.

Personal Bankruptcy

For those with serious financial hardship, bankruptcy may be the reset button needed. It clears unsecured debts and can give you space to focus on staying in your home.

Many people are still able to keep their home during bankruptcy, especially if they can maintain their mortgage payments and meet provincial exemption limits.

Answers to Common Questions About Getting Help for Mortgage Debt

While secured debts like a mortgage can’t be discharged in a consumer proposal or bankruptcy, reducing your other unsecured debts can free up money to make your mortgage more manageable.

Yes. Many Canadians are able to reduce or restructure their debt, including unsecured debts like credit cards or loans, while keeping their home. Programs like consumer proposals allow you to consolidate and lower your payments without giving up your property. At Spergel, we’ll help you explore every option to protect what matters most.

You’re not alone, and there’s still time to get support. Even if you’ve missed payments or received notices from your lender, we can step in to help. Our Licensed Insolvency Trustees will walk you through debt relief strategies that can prevent foreclosure and give you room to recover financially.

Yes, having equity doesn’t disqualify you from receiving debt relief. In fact, equity can sometimes be used as part of a larger solution, like a debt consolidation plan or refinancing. But even if that’s not the right route, our Licensed Insolvency Trustees will help you explore other ways to protect your home and reduce your overall debt burden.

Both are ways lenders reclaim property, but the process depends on your province. Either way, quick action is key to avoiding either outcome.
