One Response to “cost to file bankruptcy”

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

The amount you are required to contribute to your estate while bankrupt depends on a number of factors.

First, most trustees will require you to make a minimum contribution each month for as long as you are bankrupt; the minimum bankruptcy period is nine months.

Second, you are required to make an additional payment based on your take home pay each month, and the size of your family. The more you earn, the more you are required to pay each month. You will be required to send the trustee copies of your pay stubs and other income each month, and each month the trustee would calculate the surplus income payment.

Third, you would lose any tax refunds or GST credits you are otherwise eligible for during the bankruptcy period.

Fourth, you lose certain assets (certain RRSPs, valuable cars. etc) that you own when you go bankrupt.
