How can we help you?

If you have unsecured debt of under $10,000 and live in the Province of Ontario filing bankruptcy may not be the best option for you. We suggest you contact the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy at 416-973-6441 to discuss your options, or you can visit their website here.

Financial Aid to a bankruptcy friend

If I give a money gift to someone who has declared bankruptcy, do they have to report that as income? What is the best way to help out a friend financially, in this situation?

If you give your friend money while they are in bankruptcy then they will have to declare this as income to their trustee and indirectly it may increase the cost of the bankrutpcy as a result of the Superintendent Surplus Guideline.

However, as any surplus is likely averaged over the entire duration of the bankruptcy it may not have much of an impact on their payments.
