Bankruptcy Isn’t the Only Option: Debt Relief and Other Alternatives


People faced with extremely large debts often turn to bankruptcy as a solution, thinking that it’s the best way to get rid of creditors and start fresh. Bankruptcy however, should only be used as a last resort. Canadians are highly encouraged to first negotiate their debts and seek alternate debt relief methods before turning to bankruptcy. In many ways, bankruptcy isn’t exactly an easy way out of one’s financial woes. A declaration of bankruptcy stays on your credit bureau report for over 6 years, and until that expires, it will be extremely hard for you to obtain any credit. Furthermore, not all debts will be written off—secured debts like mortgages, car loans and student loans that are not 7 years old are excluded from bankruptcy, and so you still need to find a way to pay for these if you have them.
