It’s up to the trustee to file the\u00a0bankruptcy paperwork and forms<\/strong>, but it’s up to you to provide the trustee with the information they request. Once the paperwork is filed, you’re officially considered bankrupt. You stop making payments on your\u00a0unsecured debts<\/a>. If your wages are being garnished, that will stop. If your creditors are suing you, the lawsuits will be stopped.<\/p>\n Here are your responsibilities during the bankruptcy filings and overall process:<\/p>\n You’ll also need to\u00a0pay the application fee to register for bankruptcy<\/a>. Many trustees will accept monthly payments from you, so you’ll need to ensure that you\u00a0make payments to your trustee on time<\/strong>\u00a0and as required.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” next_background_color=”#5b25af” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”1px||130px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”25px||78px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”55px||99px||false|false” bottom_divider_style=”ramp2″ da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”custom_row” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”vertical-align second-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Continue on to step 3:\u00a0<\/strong>Your Assets Will Be Sold<\/a>\u00a0– Provinces vary as to\u00a0what assets you can keep.
