The reason everything you have read about filing a consumer proposal deals with unsecured creditors is that there is no legal ability to compromise secured creditors under the consumer proposal legislation.

What happens when you sign a security agreement with your creditors is that you give them the right to the property pledged and that right exists in priority to anything under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
