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.

I understand that Bankruptcy-Canada.ca does not provide debt relief services directly and agree to securely share this information with a local Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) for a free, confidential consultation.

Bankruptcy question

I have a question about bankruptcy.

My common law husband and I aren’t sure what is happening in our relationship due to the dept we carry. I myself owe $14000 can only I claim bankruptcy or does it have to be both of us?

You are not required to both do the same thing to deal with your debts. You can file bankruptcy – your spouse can choose to do nothing. Or your spouse could file a consumer proposal and you could try credit counselling. Or you could choose to file together. Go and speak to a trustee about your options. The trustee can help you decide which solution makes the most sense for each of you.
