Lost Job & Income – 2 mortgages

Questions — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 20:20:15 +0000

I have just lost my job and own 2 homes with mortgages. I can manage the mortgage payments on the house I live in. I cannot manage to keep making the second mortgage payment, which is currently paid to date. I have had the second house on the market for over a year, reduced the price twice, and still hasn\’t sold. The mortgage comes up for renewal in May 2012, and due to no income will certainly not be renewed. What will the bank do? How should we deal with this? Could they come after the home where I live, which is mortgaged by a different bank? HELP! My current credit rating is excellent.

Common law Spouse Dies

Questions — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 09:47:28 +0000

Question: My Sisters Husband died and left no will, no insurance.She has nothing to her name and He owed $12,000 in back taxes to Revenue Canada. My sister lives in Ontario, does not work as she is physically incapable of performing a job and the only money she brings in is her Widows pension which Revenue Canada has taken upon themselves to take half of.
She got her taxes done today only to find out they are keeping her refund, half her monthly CPP and they want her to pay an additional $800.00 by May 2nd on top of that.

Is this even legal? Can they leave her with nothing to live on?
I think they leave her no alternative but to declare bankruptcy in Ontario.

Answer: Whether or not it is legal is beyond the scope of this website; for that answer you would need to consult a lawyer. However, to answer your underlying question, yes, CRA does have the ability to garnish CPP if taxes are owing. Your sister has two options.

First, she could call CRA and attempt to work out a payment arrangement with them, so that perhaps they will agree to take less of her pension each month. It should be noted that if her late husband owed taxes, CRA should not be garnisheeing her pension; they can only garnishee her for taxes she owes, so that would be an issue to clarify with CRA.

Second, if she cannot work out a deal with CRA, she could consider filing bankruptcy in Ottawa. Bankruptcy does discharge tax debts, so it may be an option. She should consult with an Ottawa bankruptcy trustee for further information.

If they do, I won\’t be able to pay my rent, food, hydro, etc. Please let me know regarding this matter.

Can creditors take assets from someone’s spouse when they go bankrupt?

Questions — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 23:50:02 +0000

Question: Someone in the family is considering filing personal bankruptcy. This family member is married and the house/property and car are in his wife’s name. After he files bankruptcy can the creditors still come and take things from the house even though it is signed under the wife’s name?
Also, what if this husband declares non-residence before or after filing personal bankruptcy? What will happen to his assets if they are in the house that is signed under the wife’s name, can they creditors still touch them?

Answer: Only the bankrupt’s assets are involved in the bankrupt’s bankruptcy. A spouse’s assets can’t be seized for the other spouse’s debts. The only exceptions would be if the non-bankrupt spouse has co-signed for the bankrupt spouse, or if the bankrupt had transferred assets to his spouse prior to filing bankruptcy. Your trustee can explain in more detail.

Questions — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:05:15 +0000

If someone were to receive a certificate of registration from the Canada Revenue Agency informing that they have registered a certificate in the federal court for the amount due. Would filing for bankruptcy protect the individual from this debt? Could assets be seized that are paid for by the spouse in debt, but that are in the name of the other spouse who does not hold the debt? Thank you.

Question: If you have filed bankruptcy in Canada in the past,can you do it again? and how long is the wait period before you can do it?

Answer: You can file bankruptcy in Ottawa for a second time provided you are discharged from your first bankruptcy. There is no waiting period.

However, a second bankruptcy is more costly and lasts longer than the first bankruptcy, so you should consult an Ottawa bankruptcy trustee to arrange a free initial consultation before making your decision.
