Is Bankruptcy Right for You?

Bankruptcy may be the right option if your debt has become unmanageable and you are unable to
repay what you owe as it becomes due. It is a legal process designed to provide relief from
overwhelming debt, stop creditor action, and give you a fresh financial start.

Bankruptcy may be appropriate if you are facing wage garnishments, collection calls, lawsuits,
frozen bank accounts, or ongoing pressure from creditors. It can eliminate many unsecured debts,
including credit cards, personal loans, payday loans, and certain tax debts.

However, bankruptcy is not the only debt solution available. Depending on your income, assets,
and financial goals, a consumer proposal or another debt relief option may be a better fit. A
consumer proposal can allow you to repay only a portion of your debt, stop interest, avoid
bankruptcy, and keep your assets.

The best way to determine whether bankruptcy is right for you is to speak with a Licensed
Insolvency Trustee. We will review your situation, explain your options clearly, and help you
choose the path that protects your future.
