One of the main purposes of Bankruptcy Law is to give a person, who is hopelessly burdened with debt, a fresh start by wiping out his or her debts.

The objective of this website is to provide people in Vernon, thinking about declaring bankruptcy, the information they need to make an informed decision. You will then have a good understanding of what the law allows when you meet with one of our Vernon bankruptcy trustees.

A Bankruptcy wipes out all a person's eligible debts usually within nine months. In the vast majority of cases the debtor has no assets that he or she would lose. Bankruptcy gives a person a relatively quick "fresh start".

A Proposal is for people who want to pay off a portion of their debts (Say 20 or 30 percent) over a period of usually three to five years

About Trustees in Bankruptcy

The website of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy describes trustees in bankruptcy as follows:

A trustee in bankruptcy is a person licensed by the Superintendent of Bankruptcy to administer proposals and bankruptcies and manage assets held in trust. The trustee can give a debtor information and advice about both the proposal and bankruptcy processes and make sure that both the debtor's rights and the creditor's rights are respected.

A person has to use a trustee if he or she goes bankrupt. However, trustees are not just for filing bankruptcy. They are also Professional Debt Consultants and can make arrangements with your creditors on your behalf; provide debt counselling; negotiate settlement agreements and help you make a proposal to your creditors to avoid bankruptcy. If a trustee feels you need the protection of independent legal advice the trustee will refer you to an insolvency lawyer. In some cases the trustee will be able to advise you of a solution that will cost you nothing and have you avoid bankruptcy.

When dealing with a trustee you are protected firstly by the fact that the federal government regulates trustees and secondly by the stringent code of ethics to which all trustees are subject.

In most cases, It will cost you less to use a trustee than other Debt Consultants since trustees have their fees regulated by the government.

Trustees are the most highly trained and educated Debt Consultants in Canada. Almost all trustees have both an accounting designation and a university degree. In addition, all must complete and pass a rigorous three-year bankruptcy and law course and be investigated by the RCMP before being granted a trustee licence. Ongoing professional development is mandatory.

BC Climate Action Dividend of $100.00 will not be taken by BC bankruptcy trustees. The $100 dividends are payable to residents of British Columbia (as at December 31, 2007), with the first of the payments to be processed in June 2008. Trustees of bankrupts will receive these dividend cheques, the bulk of which will be issued by the Canada Revenue Agency.

Trustees must therefore provide the Climate Action Dividend to the bankrupt. Being unseizable, unexecutable and unassignable under any circumstances, only the bankrupt can cash these cheques, and is free to do with the proceeds whatever he/she wishes. If a bankrupt chooses to pay the monies into the estate, it must be with the knowledge that this is done strictly on a voluntary basis.
