We are often asked what debts are part of the bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act states that all debts are discharged (gone) once your bankruptcy ends except in general for:
- student loans that are less than 10 years old,
- fines, penalties, restitution orders,
- awards for damages in civil court for wrongful death or sexual assult,
- alimony or support,
- debts incurred through fraud or misrepresentation,
- an amount a creditor who didn't know about a bankruptcy would have received if they had been notified of the bankruptcy.
There are always interpretations about what kind of debt does not go away in a bankruptcy. To review your situation in Windsor, please call our Windsor office at 250-8060 or 310-PLAN or email a question.
