What Is Personal Bankruptcy?

Personal Bankruptcy is a legal process, regulated by the government of Canada, that releases you from your debts, stops collection calls, ends wage garnishment and legally protects you from your creditors. It is a way for unfortunate Canadians to get out of debt and have a fresh start.

If you are considering filing for personal bankruptcy, it is important to understand the process and the options that are available. Yes, you have options.  Licensed Insolvency Trustees are the only professionals in Canada who can prepare and administer personal bankruptcy filings. At Hudson & Company, our first priority is making sure that you are well informed and understand all of the options that are available to you.

Where Should I Start?

The best way to understand how personal bankruptcy may impact you is a free consultation with one of our Trustees. We will look at your debt situation, with consideration for your unique circumstances and what you are hoping to achieve. We will review all of the available options with you and answer any questions you may have.

Getting Discharged

When will I be discharged from bankruptcy?

To determine whether you qualify for personal bankruptcy, begin by asking yourself the following questions:

  • Do you utilize credit cards to make payments on a regular basis?
  • Are you able to only cover interest charges in your monthly payments instead of steadily lowering the overall obligation?
  • Have you had your utilities shut off due to an inability to pay?
  • Are your wages being garnished to help repay your debts?
  • Do you obtain frequent cash advances to make ends meet until your next payday?
  • Do calls from your creditors lead to your avoidance of answering the phone?

When Is Personal Bankruptcy a Good Idea?

Insolvency affects thousands of honest but unfortunate Canadians every year. Being insolvent means that you are simply unable to pay off all your debts. If you find yourself in this position it is important to know that you have options. A great first step is meeting with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee for a free consultation meeting. They will review your situation and show you what options are available. The Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada is the regulatory body that licenses and regulates Licensed Insolvency Trustees. These are highly trained debt counsellors and the only professionals in Canada that can administer bankruptcy or consumer proposals.

Why Meet With A Licensed Insolvency Trustee?

While we do our best to provide information and answer general questions on our website, insolvency is a complex matter. A Licensed Insolvency Trustee can review your personal situation and show you which options are available. They can explain how the laws and regulations apply in your circumstances and they can address your specific concerns in detail. An initial consultation meeting is free and confidential. There are no risks associated with meeting a Licensed Insolvency Trustee and there is no obligation to move forward or return.

Stressed over my debt load and not knowing how to compare Trustees, I did a Google search for one near me. It was by sheer luck that I landed at Hudson and Company. Greg was totally non-judgemental, smart, professional, efficient, and very effective. These guys really know what they are doing. My debt was reduced to pennies on the dollar. It was such a relief and comfort to walk in there and walk out with nothing left to do. Greg took care of everything. They never asked me for a penny upfront. They worked out their fee as part of the proposal. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them. No one deserves to be so financially stressed, and everyone deserves a fresh start. Good luck.

I recently worked with Breanna and her team at Hudson & Co. on my consumer proposal, and the experience was incredibly positive. They responded quickly to my questions and made everything straightforward and understandable. Their support was amazing, helping clear a path to financial freedom for me. After taking on debt from a previous marriage, their guidance was crucial in setting a bright future for myself and my children. I felt like they genuinely cared about my situation and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Hudson & Co. to anyone looking for clear, friendly, and effective financial help. They didn’t just provide a service; they changed my life.

First, I must say that I am IMPRESSED with Greg at Hudson & Company! Greg was very straight forward with my options to resolve my debt, after being out of work for more than a year. He gave me a plan of attack to move forward, discussed alternatives and appeased my anxiety about my current situation.Kudos to Greg!

I was under a tremendous amount of stress not knowing where to turn after falling behind on bills due to a long term illness where my income was significantly reduced. I reached out to Hudson & Co. and Steven Cooke discussed my options with professionalism and no judgment. He and Greg Stanford answered any questions I had and the whole process took about an hour. I am no longer worried about the collection calls and can go into the new year feeling relieved. They are experts who make you feel at ease and genuinely respected. I would recommend calling them to anyone who is looking for information on how to fix their credit.

I am in my third month of insolvency and wanted to leave a quick review of Hudson and Co. I met with Greg Stanford and he explained the process to me and answered some questions in under an hour. He was genuinely interested to help me and to date has been responsive to my queries. There have been a couple of collections agents that began pestering me and Hudson & Co. took care of that issue for me quickly. I would definitely recommend Greg and this company for anyone needing such a service. They are experts in their understanding of insolvency and make the process simple to follow.

I spoke to Greg to simply see what his thoughts on my situation was and to get his advice on possible directions I could take given my circumstances. I have a fairly extensive credit background myself so the conversation was quite smooth and understandable. There was not much changes to the area of credit world problem solving....I found Greg to be most knowledgeable in all avenues. open to my situation and explained everything in detail very clearly and kept the conversation enjoyable not depressing. do not hesitate to be totally open with Greg as he will help for certain... 5 star rating easily

If you have large monthly payments with hardly any reduction in your huge debt load, due to the high interest payments, and you are unable to afford your basic living expenses as a result, I would highly recommend that you contact Hudson & Company Insolvency Trustees to help you with a solution. Thes was my situation. When I developed high blood pressure as a result of the stress caused by my financial situation, I realized I had to forget the embarassment and negative stigma attached to insolvency and seek help. I needed a company where I was treated with respect and care, and not stigmatized or looked down upon because of my current circumstances. Greg at Hudson & Company provided that and more. He was caring and compassionate, and patiently guided me through the process. I did not want to declare bankruptcy, and he explained all the options available to me, including bankruptcy (just in case). Greg took care of all the paperwork and negotiations with my creditors, but consulted me before making any decisions. I am in a consumer proposal where my monthly payments have reduced by more than 500%, I'm able to take of my basic needs and save for emergencies, and I will be debt free in 5 years or less. In addition, my hypertension is under control. Hudson & Company also takes care to ensure that you are on your way to financial stability after your insolvency option has been finalized. They provide caring counsellors to help guide you in developing a budget and a financial wellness future plan. I would highly recommend Greg and the team at Hudson & Company, as your insolvency trustees of choice.

Greg and team are, quite simply, fabulous. Filing for bankruptcy is the most humiliating thing I've ever had to do. It happened through no fault of my own - but I was still ashamed. All I got from Greg was compassion, support, and understanding. He explained clearly and concisely, and answered my questions patiently. Then I spoke to Steven, who was the same in manner and decorum. I felt comfortable, and I felt safe. In a few short months my life will start fresh. And I know that they will support me through it all. I am both thankful, and grateful. If you need bankruptcy support, look no further. You'll be treated with respect.

Life changing experience - wish I knew about this sooner. Stephan and his team made the process seamless and easy. From the initial consultation I knew exactly what I was looking at, and what the process would look like if I chose to move forward. No pressure environment, he was upfront about fees and how my options would impact those fees. Can't say enough about my experience, very quickly my life has completely changed. If you're stuck financially at least go for a consultation and see if there are options for you.. feels great to breathe again!

Hudson & Company offers a free consultation. We found it very informative. The options presented by Mr. Bruce Hudson were clear and helpful toward our course of action.

Mr. Hudson and his associates have acted responsibly and have been available over the past 3 1/2 years, for any of our inquiries. We would enthusiastically recommend Hudson & Company with a 5 Star rating, to anyone desiring financial advice. Thank you Bruce, and associates, for your care and advice.SM

Stressed over my debt load and not knowing how to compare Trustees, I did a Google search for one near me. It was by sheer luck that I landed at Hudson and Company. Greg was totally non-judgemental, smart, professional, efficient, and very effective. These guys really know what they are doing. My debt was reduced to pennies on the dollar. It was such a relief and comfort to walk in there and walk out with nothing left to do. Greg took care of everything. They never asked me for a penny upfront. They worked out their fee as part of the proposal. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them. No one deserves to be so financially stressed, and everyone deserves a fresh start. Good luck.

I recently worked with Breanna and her team at Hudson & Co. on my consumer proposal, and the experience was incredibly positive. They responded quickly to my questions and made everything straightforward and understandable. Their support was amazing, helping clear a path to financial freedom for me. After taking on debt from a previous marriage, their guidance was crucial in setting a bright future for myself and my children. I felt like they genuinely cared about my situation and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Hudson & Co. to anyone looking for clear, friendly, and effective financial help. They didn’t just provide a service; they changed my life.

I never felt rushed in making a decsion and felt supported. I can not say enough about my experience with Hudson & Company. Thank you!

First, I must say that I am IMPRESSED with Greg at Hudson & Company! Greg was very straight forward with my options to resolve my debt, after being out of work for more than a year. He gave me a plan of attack to move forward, discussed alternatives and appeased my anxiety about my current situation.Kudos to Greg! I will definitely take your advice to heart, as I move ahead in resolving my debt situation.

I was under a tremendous amount of stress not knowing where to turn after falling behind on bills due to a long term illness where my income was significantly reduced. I reached out to Hudson & Co. and Steven Cooke discussed my options with professionalism and no judgment. He and Greg Stanford answered any questions I had and the whole process took about an hour. I am no longer worried about the collection calls and can go into the new year feeling relieved. They are experts who make you feel at ease and genuinely respected. I would recommend calling them to anyone who is looking for information on how to fix their credit.

Recently spoke to Greg and was relieved to find a solution to my financial situation. I found him to be very thorough and genuine. Too be so stressed in this economy does nothing for a person's mental health. I have had a huge burden lifted off my already heavy shoulders and have an end to look forward too. Thank you Greg!

I am in my third month of insolvency and wanted to leave a quick review of Hudson and Co. I met with Greg Stanford and he explained the process to me and answered some questions in under an hour. He was genuinely interested to help me and to date has been responsive to my queries. There have been a couple of collections agents that began pestering me and Hudson & Co. took care of that issue for me quickly. I would definitely recommend Greg and this company for anyone needing such a service. They are experts in their understanding of insolvency and make the process simple to follow.

If you have large monthly payments with hardly any reduction in your huge debt load, due to the high interest payments, and you are unable to afford your basic living expenses as a result, I would highly recommend that you contact Hudson & Company Insolvency Trustees to help you with a solution. Thes was my situation. When I developed high blood pressure as a result of the stress caused by my financial situation, I realized I had to forget the embarassment and negative stigma attached to insolvency and seek help. I needed a company where I was treated with respect and care, and not stigmatized or looked down upon because of my current circumstances. Greg at Hudson & Company provided that and more. He was caring and compassionate, and patiently guided me through the process. I did not want to declare bankruptcy, and he explained all the options available to me, including bankruptcy (just in case). Greg took care of all the paperwork and negotiations with my creditors, but consulted me before making any decisions. I am in a consumer proposal where my monthly payments have reduced by more than 500%, I'm able to take of my basic needs and save for emergencies, and I will be debt free in 5 years or less. In addition, my hypertension is under control. Hudson & Company also takes care to ensure that you are on your way to financial stability after your insolvency option has been finalized. They provide caring counsellors to help guide you in developing a budget and a financial wellness future plan. I would highly recommend Greg and the team at Hudson & Company, as your insolvency trustees of choice.

Greg and team are, quite simply, fabulous. Filing for bankruptcy is the most humiliating thing I've ever had to do. It happened through no fault of my own - but I was still ashamed. All I got from Greg was compassion, support, and understanding. He explained clearly and concisely, and answered my questions patiently. Then I spoke to Steven, who was the same in manner and decorum. I felt comfortable, and I felt safe. In a few short months my life will start fresh. And I know that they will support me through it all. I am both thankful, and grateful. If you need bankruptcy support, look no further. You'll be treated with respect.

Life changing experience - wish I knew about this sooner. Stephan and his team made the process seamless and easy. From the initial consultation I knew exactly what I was looking at, and what the process would look like if I chose to move forward. No pressure environment, he was upfront about fees and how my options would impact those fees. Can't say enough about my experience, very quickly my life has completely changed. If you're stuck financially at least go for a consultation and see if there are options for you.. feels great to breathe again!

Frequently Asked Bankruptcy Questions

Here we explore common considerations and frequently asked questions about bankruptcy to help you determine if it is a good idea for you. It is important to know that there are alternatives to bankruptcy, even in dire circumstances. Part of knowing if bankruptcy is a good idea is determining if you have any other options available. A Licensed Insolvency Trustee can help identify what options are available based on your unique situation. Once all other options are considered, bankruptcy is the last resort to get rid of debt and get your life back on track.

Will Bankruptcy Affect My Spouse?

No. Filing for personal bankruptcy in Canada does not directly affect your spouse. Your spouse is only responsible for their own debts and their portion of any shared debt. Your personal debts are separate.

If your spouse has co-signed or personally guaranteed any of your debts, then they will continue to be responsible for the debts if you are personally unable to pay. This is also the case with shared debt such a joint credit card account.

You and your spouse may have the option to file jointly. This is possible when all or most of your debts are shared. In this case you can avoid costs associated with filing personal bankruptcy for both spouses individually. It is important to note that in this case, the procedures are tied together and one spouse’s failure to follow procedure can stop the other from being discharged.

Talk to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee for help determining the best option based on your debt and family situation. As always, there are multiple ways to approach insolvency.

Will Bankruptcy Affect My Job?

It is illegal in Canada for your employer to fire you for declaring bankruptcy. In most cases you don’t even have to disclose it to them. In some cases, the position you hold or the jobs you can do may be restricted. This is more common in finance, legal and security professions.

If you hold a professional designation you should check the professional guidelines that are enforced by the regulatory body for any implications.

If you are in a position which may be affected by bankruptcy, talk to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. They can help you work through the situation to find the most appropriate solution.

Will Bankruptcy Eliminate Tax Debt?

Yes. Bankruptcy can eliminate Tax debt

Without a bankruptcy or proposal, the CRA will generally not accept anything other than the full amount for any income tax debt. If you owe the CRA money, they may be able to freeze your bank account or garnish your wages without going through the courts. If you have a business, they can also go directly to your customers and have them pay them rather than you. If you are insolvent and unable to pay, declaring bankruptcy with the help of a Licensed Insolvency Trustee is one of the only ways to eliminate the debt.

Will Bankruptcy Stop Student Loans?

A discharge from bankruptcy can release you from your student loan repayment obligations if you filed for bankruptcy at least seven years from the time that you stopped being a full-time student. If you haven’t been a full-time student for more than seven years and you are now considering bankruptcy, you can expect to be able to include your student loan debt. In some cases, the court can reduce this period from seven years to five.

Will Bankruptcy Stop Wage Garnishment?

Yes. Once you declare bankruptcy your wages are protected from garnishment.

A wage garnishment is a court order that redirects a portion of your earned wages to a creditor. If your wages are being garnished, part of your pay-cheque is taken to pay back a specific debt. Anyone you owe money to can submit their claim to the court. If a judgement is granted in their favour, they have the option to contact your employer to garnish your wages (they may also have the option to seize cash from your bank account).

As soon as you sign the bankruptcy documents there is an “immediate stay of proceedings”. This puts an immediate stop to any current garnishment and provides legal protection against future garnishment.

Will Bankruptcy Stop a Judgement?

Short answer = Sometimes. If the judgement arises from a lawsuit involving unpaid debts, the lender or creditor may be able to garnish your wages or access your personal assets to satisfy the judgement. In cases such as this, declaring bankruptcy would stop the garnishment and discharge the debt. If such a lawsuit is pending at the time you declare bankruptcy, it will be stopped.

There are non-dischargeable debts that may arise from a judgement against you. In these cases, declaring bankruptcy will not eliminate the debt. Non-dischargeable judgements can arise from issues related to:

  • child support or alimony
  • criminal penalties or fines
  • certain taxes
  • debts arising from fraudulent activity
  • death or injury caused by drunk driving
  • willful and malicious injury caused by the debtor

So, judgements arising from regular unpaid debts can be included in a bankruptcy filing, but judgements arising from criminal activity or child/spouse support cannot be included.

Will Bankruptcy Affect My Car Insurance?

The effects of bankruptcy on your auto insurance are minimal in Alberta and you will generally not have to worry. When you declare bankruptcy, it is reported to the credit bureaus that determine your “credit score”. Some insurance companies in Canada are now using credit scores to underwrite auto insurance policies. The practice is different in each province due to legislative restrictions. In some provinces it is illegal for an insurance company to use your credit score to influence auto insurance rates. In Alberta, an insurer must get your explicit consent prior to looking at your credit score and you can say no.

If you are currently receiving a discount for having “good credit” you may no longer qualify for the discount.

Will Bankruptcy Affect My Credit?

Yes. In Canada there are two major credit reporting agencies, Equifax and TransUnion. They keep track of your credit history and provide reports to lenders. When you file for bankruptcy it is reported to these agencies. If you are declaring bankruptcy for the first time, it will be included on your credit reports for as long as seven years following your discharge. If it is your second time declaring bankruptcy it will be included for up to 14 years following your discharge.

Equifax uses a scale from R1 to R9 (R1 = perfect credit). Declaring bankruptcy will result in a rating of R9.

Can Bankruptcy Stop a Foreclosure?

No. Bankruptcy in Canada does not include secured debt. Your mortgage is secured because it is tied to a physical asset (your home). This means that the value of the mortgage is guaranteed to the lender by their ability to recover the value from your home. If you stop making your mortgage payments the lender has the legal right to foreclose and recover any amounts owed to them.

Declaring bankruptcy will not stop a foreclosure but seeking help early on may help you manage your insolvency before it is too late. As long as you are able to continue making your mortgage payments you can avoid foreclosure.

Will Bankruptcy Stop Bailiff Enforcement Action?

Short answer = Sometimes. If there is a judgement against you for unpaid debts, the creditor can begin to take action towards seizing your personal property. This is done through a Civil Enforcement Agency that employs Bailiffs to collect on your outstanding debts. The Bailiff may be able to take away and sell property such as: your vehicle, your home, cash, luxury items, and jointly-owned possessions. In the case of unpaid debt, filing for bankruptcy would discharge the debt and there would be a “stay of proceedings”.

Civil Enforcement Agencies can get involved for different reasons, including unpaid child and spouse support, court orders (mentioned above), parking fines, unpaid rent, and unpaid taxes. There are non-dischargeable debts that do not go away with bankruptcy. These include any judgements involving:

  • child support or alimony
  • criminal penalties or fines
  • certain taxes
  • debts arising from fraudulent activity
  • death or injury caused by drunk driving
  • willful and malicious injury caused by the debtor

In these cases declaring bankruptcy will not prohibit a bailiff from continuing their duties.
