• 1. Can I file a consumer proposal or a joint bankruptcy (I'm getting different answers depending on the trustee I consult)? 2. Does personal bankruptcy or a proposal affect someone who is a member of a professional order? 3. I would like to know if I can be released from my student line of credit by filing for bankruptcy or a proposal, even if I have a co-signer for this loan. 4. Regarding personal belongings, I saw that there is a form to fill out to declare all our possessions, such as cameras, computers, and sports equipment, so that we can keep them while paying compensation to the trustee. I would like to know how this works and what the compensation is like (very expensive?).
• A debt collection agency contacted me at work today demanding payment of my credit card ($800). They wouldn't make any payment arrangements other than full payment or they'll garnish my wages. I have some other debts from a former cable company ($300), and my current accounts aren't entirely up to date. I don't earn a high salary and I don't have much credit, so debt consolidation would almost certainly be denied. Should I file for personal bankruptcy? The rather unpleasant man who contacted me today said that with wage garnishment, I'd probably have to pay back $1400-$1500 in total on an $800 debt. Furthermore, if my wages are garnished, I won't be able to pay my rent, my bus pass to get to work, and my other bills will likely go into collection as well. How can I pay a bankruptcy trustee if I don't have any money?
• Can a car financed by an auto loan (the bank holds a lien on the vehicle until full payment) be seized by the government if money is owed in taxes?
• Following a separation, I had to buy new furniture on credit at a cost of $4,000. I still have a balance of approximately $3,100 on that loan. If I include this amount in a bankruptcy claim, can they seize all the furniture I purchased?
• For the past three years, my husband has owed over $150,000 in taxes due to undeclared income. We have been married for seven years. We have a prenuptial agreement with separate property. I own a house in my name only and have a $200,000 mortgage. I also own a car in my name. All my furniture is registered in my name. I also have a $100,000 GIC investment in my name. If my husband decides to declare bankruptcy because he cannot repay his tax debts, will I lose my investment, my house, or my car?
