The process of filing for bankruptcy in St. Catharines

When declaring bankruptcy in St. Catharines there are several steps involved in the process. Here is a brief overview of the bankruptcy process from BDO.

Make a complimentary appointment

Our trustees will review your financial situation and gather information on your income, assets, and outstanding debts. After reviewing all these factors, our trustees will sit with you and confirm that filing for bankruptcy in St. Catharines is the best alternative.

Creditors are notified

Your trustee will send a notice to all of your creditors, advising them that you are no longer able to make payments to them. The creditors will then have 45 days to consider the offer. During this time you do not have to make any payments to your creditors.

Credit counselling

You must attend two mandatory counselling sessions. Both of these sessions are held at the trustee’s office and are mandatory for the bankruptcy process. These counselling sessions will help you understand how to budget better and manage your finances.

Receiving your discharge

Our trustees will prepare a report outlining your actions during the bankruptcy process and will recommend your “discharge” if you have completed and performed all your duties. When you have received your discharge, this will complete the process for filing for bankruptcy in St. Catharines and the debts that were included in the bankruptcy process will be lifted.
