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.

do nothing

what happens if I just ignore my creditors and leave the country to start over somewhere else. Will it automatically put me into bankruptcy?

It is tough to tell you for sure as it is up to each individual creditor, but likely you would not be forced into bankruptcy. However, just because you leave the country doesn’t mean that your creditors still can’t attempt to collect from you out of country, and the added expense of cross border collection as well as the interest and associated penalties can add up to a very significant amount. So while this is a strategy you can employ, in my eyes it is fairly risky to do so.
