What you should expect in regards to the bankruptcy process.

There are several major steps involved in the process when declaring bankruptcy in Markham. Listed is a brief overview of the process from BDO.

Make a complimentary appointment

The Trustee will review your financial situation and ask for information about your income, your assets and your outstanding debts. After reviewing your information the Trustee will discuss your options and confirm that filing for bankruptcy in Markham is the most appropriate solution.

Creditors are notified

Our trustee will notify your current creditors. A meeting of creditors may be called, depending on the size of your financial claim or bankruptcy claim. The main purpose of the meeting is to inform both you and your creditors about the details of the file and provide direction to the trustee if needed.

Credit counselling

As part of your duties, you must attend two counselling sessions. These sessions, held at the trustee's office, are mandatory and are intended to help you understand the causes of your bankruptcy and help you better manage your finances in the future.

Receiving your discharge

The trustee will prepare a report describing your actions during the bankruptcy and will recommend your “discharge” if you have performed all of your duties. Once you receive your discharge, this is the end of the process and you will be released from the debts that were included in your bankruptcy.
