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 opposing my discharge

i am first time bankrupt that has met all conditions of my bankruptcy and my trustee. however the trustee is opposing my discharge.
the only reason is that they are claiming i am partly responsible for not having 50% of my unsecured liabilities under sec 170(1)?

does this opposition mean my creditors will now be able to pursue claims against me before or during the upcoming hearing process and/or any subsequent conditions the superintendent may place on meif they do refuse my discharge.
should i bother attending the hearing to argue against the trustee’s decision or can that work against me?

Barton Goth, GCO Inc. Bankruptcy Trustees said...

Just because there is an opposition to your discharge this does not mean the creditors will be able to pursue you for the claims included in your bankruptcy. Ultimately the court will make the decision as to what will need to be done for you to be discharged from bankruptcy; all the trustee does is alert them to circumstances that may merit the court involvement. In terms of court attendance, I recommend you attend the hearing if for nothing else but to demonstrate a good faith to the registrar who will be sitting. I also suggest that if you choose to say anything in court choose your comments very carefully. I have seen many people who have attempted to make an emotional plea in front of the court and have significantly soured the registrar’s decision. Always remember the court is interested in factual statement, not emotional ones.
