Unhappy 39000 in debt!
I owe 19000 on amex and another 20 on my bmo mastercard.

I only net about 2000 month and have no other assets, and i am paying 500 interest on the two cards each month.

what do you think would be best a comsumer proposal or debt settlement.

If you can pay your debts when they are due, then you are solvent, which means that consumer proposal is not an option. If that's the case then you can either try getting a debt consolidation loan, or you can go for debt settlement.

I heard a proposal get's rid of 75 percent of the debt, and debt settlement is only around 40.

I'm not sure if you can reduce the principal by 75%. Where did you read that?

Any progress with that? Have you decided which way to go?
