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.

Secured Debts

If I include my house in my bankruptcy and it produces a huge shortfall on the resale to pay off the mortgage, will I be
sued for the difference by the bank?

In the absence of a bankruptcy you will be sued for the difference. However, if you file for bankruptcy and the foreclosure has taken place prior to the filing of the bankruptcy there is an immediate Stay of Proceedings that is put in place that removes the ability for the bank (or CMHC) to sue you as this is a debt that will be released by the filing of the bankruptcy.

The timing is essential, you want the foreclosure to have comensed prior to you filing for the bankruptcy, if it has then it is probably best for you to contact a local trustee directly..
