I've been in consumer proposal for two years, but this year I have new tax debts to pay. I've never had tax debts before, and none were included in my proposal. I still owe $15,000 on my proposal, $10,000 for my 2020 taxes, and $3,000 in personal debt (microloans). Is it advantageous for me to file for bankruptcy? If so, will I still have to make monthly payments to the trustee? Will they be higher than those in my proposal ($350/month)?
If you now have new debts, bankruptcy is likely the best solution.
The amount you need to file depends on your income and family expenses.

- For the past few years, the provincial government has been garnishing my wages. After all this time, I'm at my wit's end. However, I'm indebted to friends and family. I also owe Hydro-Québec, Mastercard, and now the federal government is demanding over $4,000, which will result in another wage garnishment. I'm in debt and I couldn't pay my rent this month.
