Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a legal process to eliminate and discharge certain debts owed subject to reasonable conditions. It is a trade-off between the assets you own and the debts you owe. The assets (except those subject to provincial exemptions like furniture, personal effects, certain vehicles and tools required to earn your living) are given to a trustee who in turn liquidates them and distributes the funds to creditors. read more>>
