Bankruptcy & Debt Relief Services in Fort SaskatchewanÂ
Personal Bankruptcy ServicesÂ
For residents facing significant debt, we provide full bankruptcy filing support. Our trustees guide you through each legal step, ensuring you understand the process and your rights while protecting your best interests.Â
Consumer Proposal SolutionsÂ
Ideal for many clients with unsecured debts under $250,000 (excluding mortgages), a consumer proposal allows you to negotiate reduced monthly payments with multiple creditors—often paying only a portion of what you owe over a period of up to five years. Interest stops accruing immediately, and you keep your home, vehicle, and essential assets.
- Personal Bankruptcy – A legal process that clears most unsecured debts and offers a fresh financial start.Â
- Consumer Proposals – Negotiate reduced payments with creditors while protecting your key assets.Â
- Debt Consolidation Loans – Combine multiple debts into one lower-interest payment for easier management.Â
- Informal Settlements & Payment Plans – Work directly with creditors or the CRA to adjust terms, reduce balances, or structure tax repayment.Â
- Financial Counselling & Credit Repair – Get expert budgeting advice and credit-building strategies to strengthen your financial future.
We start with a comprehensive review of your income, debts, assets, and expenses. Our team explains all available options and exemptions under Alberta law to find the right path for your situation.
Based on your financial profile, we outline the benefits of consumer proposals vs. bankruptcy and create a realistic plan with timelines and affordable payment structures tailored to you.
We prepare and file all necessary documents with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. Once filed, you receive legal protection from most collection actions and wage garnishments.
Throughout the process, we help you stay compliant with reporting requirements, provide mandatory credit counselling, and offer credit rebuilding guidance after discharge.
What assets can I keep during bankruptcy in Alberta?Â
Under the Alberta Civil Enforcement Act, you’re allowed to keep certain essential assets during bankruptcy. This includes up to $40,000 in equity in your primary residence, up to $5,000 in vehicle equity, necessary household goods and work tools valued up to $10,000, and RRSPs, except for contributions made within the 12 months before filing.Â
How long does the bankruptcy process take?Â
A first-time bankruptcy typically lasts 9 months if there’s no surplus income. If your income exceeds government thresholds, it may extend to 21 months. Repeat bankruptcies have longer timelines.Â
Will bankruptcy stop wage garnishments and collection calls?Â
Filing initiates a legal stay of proceedings, which halts most collection actions, including CRA wage garnishments.Â
How is a consumer proposal different from bankruptcy?Â
A consumer proposal allows you to keep all your assets and repay a reduced amount to creditors over time, usually with less impact on your credit score. Bankruptcy involves surrendering non-exempt assets but provides faster debt discharge.
