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.

Trustee consultation fee

I am meeting with a trustee in a few weeks. He said that he will charge approximately $500-$1200 for the meeting. Is this standard? From what I’ve read, consultations are free? I do have a complex case so I wonder if the fee reflects that?

There is nothing preventing a trustee from charging a consultation fee, but this is fairly unusual. Now the complexity can change things, but if you are dealing with a consumer issue most trustee’s wouldn’t charge you for your initial meeting or two. Of course there would be a charge if you file a consumer propsal, bankruptcy or one of the similar options available, but not just for the initial meeting.

What I would recommend is you contacta local trustee. I see you in BC, it is likely Sands & Associates who serve your area and last I spoke to them every initial consult was free of charge. If you contacted someone else I would recommend calling Sands first as you may be able to save yourself some money.
