How Many People Go Bankrupt in Mississuaga Each Year?


In 2007 there were 1,260 residents of Mississauga that filed personal bankruptcy. In addition, a further 745 Mississauga residents filed a consumer proposal.

The 745 consumer proposals filed in 2007 were the highest number of consumer proposals ever filed in Mississauga, 21% higher than the 618 proposals filed in 2006, and almost double the 480 consumer proposals filed back in 2004.

In contrast, the Mississauga personal bankruptcy rate remained virtually unchanged from the 1,259 personal bankruptcies filed in Mississauga filed in 2006.

Why are proposals increasing while bankruptcy filings remain stable? We believe it is because an increasing number of Mississauga residents want to avoid filing bankruptcy, but they need a way to deal with their debts. For many people, a consumer proposal is the perfect solution.

To find out whether a consumer proposal or a personal bankruptcy is the correct option for you, e-mail our Mississauga office or give our Mississauga office a call at (905) 848-3649 or 310-PLAN (no area code required) if you have any questions, or want to arrange a no-charge initial consultation.

Don't know what to do - bankruptcy if not working?

Question: I lost my job last July and tried to continue my payments which I was able to do until September. When I realized I was unable to make any more payments I wrote letters to my creditors and told them the situation and that I would resume payments as soon as I could. I have been unable to live up to my obligations. What is the next step? I tried making a small payment of $150 each to MBNA AMEX HBC and SEARS but that has been all that I could do. I believe they have all gone to collection now. What next?

Answer: If your debts have gone to a collection agency, their next step will be to attempt to collect from you, by making phone calls and sending you letters. If they are unable to collect, they may then decide to take you to court and sue you; their goal is to obtain a garnishment order so that they can garnishee your wages.

If you are not working, you do not need to worry about your wages being garnisheed. However, once you return to work, and the creditors find out where you are working, you will need to take action. At that point a bankruptcy may be necessary.

If you are back to work, or expect to be back to work soon, we suggest you contact a trustee to review your options in more detail.
