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.

Joint Filing

My husband has all of the debt in his name – mostly credit cards that total $50,000. We have a joint bank account with an overdraft of $800 but the overdraft was given to my husband based on his credit score as my credit was not good at the time. Out of all of the credit cards in his name only, there is only one that i have a supplementary card for. I have only used the card about 2 times, the purchases were minimal – maybe $100 worth, but the statement does come in both of our names.
In trying to rebuild my credit, i applied for a m/c and got it with a limit of $2000. It is not secured.
My questions are: Do i have to file bankruptcy if my husband files because of the overdraft and the supplementary card – would they come after me for the money if i don’t file with him?
And secondly, if i do have to file, can i keep the new m/c that i got if i haven’t charged anything on it yet? Do i have to disclose that i have this card and turn it in or can i keep it to help rebuild my credit once i file bankruptcy?
Also, if i did use the card before filing, would i be liable for any charges incurred?
Thanks
