Some debts might still have to be paid because by law, they can’t be included when you file for bankruptcy.<\/p>\n 3 types of debt that you can’t declare bankruptcy on<\/a>:<\/p>\n Some people also want to declare bankruptcy because of their credit card debt. However, if they only recently got into debt with their credit cards, creditors may oppose eliminating the debts with bankruptcy.<\/p>\n Those who have gone bankrupt might not tell you that it takes a minimum of 9 months to complete the bankruptcy process<\/a>. There are costs and fees to go bankrupt<\/a>, which you pay to your trustee, as well as bankruptcy counselling sessions you must attend<\/a>. Depending on your circumstances, you may also need to pay extra to your creditors, which delays completing the process and obtaining your discharge. Not everyone loses their home and assets when they file for bankruptcy, but assets above what you’re allowed to keep in BC will be sold by your trustee.<\/p>\n You should also know that your bankruptcy trustee<\/a>, your creditors<\/a>, the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy<\/a> or the Court can oppose or delay your discharge<\/a>. Depending on your circumstances, you may need to attend a hearing, answer questions under oath and\/or meet the additional requirements to obtain your discharge.<\/p>\n Legally eliminating debt through bankruptcy seriously impacts your credit rating and makes it hard to obtain credit later<\/a>. You need to show creditors why they should trust you enough to lend you money again. Not being able to renew your mortgage, get a loan or apply for a low interest rate credit card<\/span><\/a> often impacts other financial plans and puts your life on hold.<\/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=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”rgba(91,37,175,0.15)” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#e7dff3 0%|rgba(255,255,255,0.85) 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#e7dff3″ background_color_gradient_end=”rgba(255,255,255,0.85)” background_image=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/credit-counselling-society-tv-interview-7.jpg” background_position=”top_center” z_index=”0″ custom_padding=”||170px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”||150px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||120px||false|false” bottom_divider_style=”curve2″ bottom_divider_height=”100px” bottom_divider_height_tablet=”70px” bottom_divider_height_phone=”50px” bottom_divider_height_last_edited=”on|phone” background_last_edited=”on|tablet” background_enable_image_tablet=”off” background_size_tablet=”cover” background_position_tablet=”center_left” 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 _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_align=”center” custom_margin=”||16px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_orientation=”center” max_width=”1500px” animation_direction=”bottom” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Occasionally, the news media will interview one or two Canadians we helped who are comfortable with publicly sharing their stories.
