Personal Bankruptcy

What is personal bankruptcy?

When our clients first meet with us to discuss debt solutions with our Licensed Insolvency Trustees, many of them say, “Anything but bankruptcy.” After we explain all the options, their next question is, “Well, why wouldn’t I choose bankruptcy?” The word bankruptcy has several negative connotations, but when you consider all the facts, bankruptcy is just another tool to get you back on financial track. The best option will depend on your unique financial situation.

Personal bankruptcy is a legal process administered under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Personal bankruptcy provides you with immediate protection against any further collection or legal action by your unsecured creditors, including the Canada Revenue Agency for income tax debt or Goods and Services Tax debt. The purpose of personal bankruptcy is to provide an individual that is overburdened with debt an opportunity to get a fresh financial start. When compared to other debt restructuring plans, personal bankruptcy is usually the least expensive and quickest option to eliminate your debt, taking as little as nine (9) months to complete.

Bankruptcy offers peace of mind

Once you file for bankruptcy, all action by your unsecured creditors for the recovery of your unsecured debts will immediately stop, including telephone calls, collection action and legal action. Wage garnishments, bank account seizures and unencumbered asset seizures will also be terminated immediately. To file a personal bankruptcy, you must:

  • owe at least $1,000;
  • be unable to make or stopped making your regular monthly payments to your creditors as they become due; or
  • have an insufficient amount of proceeds from the sale of all your assets and property at fair market value to pay all your debts or obligations in full.

When you file personal bankruptcy, you are voluntarily entering into a legal process that provides you with immediate protection against any further action by your unsecured creditors including the Canada Revenue Agency for income tax or Good and Service Tax debt. Once you enter into bankruptcy, you will need to be discharged from bankruptcy or released from bankruptcy to obtain your fresh start. Your discharge from bankruptcy will release you from bankruptcy and any further legal responsibility regarding your unsecured debts.

If you are filing bankruptcy for the first time and have no surplus income, the length of the bankruptcy is nine (9) months. If you have surplus income, the length of the bankruptcy is twenty-one (21) months.

If you are filing bankruptcy for a second time and have no surplus income, the length of the bankruptcy is twenty-four (24) months. If you have surplus income, the length of the bankruptcy is thirty-six (36) months.

When you’re considering debt restructuring options, it’s important to get all the facts, and we have them. Let’s talk. We can help.

Thank you for everything. You’ve made my life a lot brighter.
