Most money problems are caused by events beyond our control. It’s a common misconception to think that people who are insolvent have spent their way into Bankruptcy. A job loss, illness, injury or marital breakdown can often be the last straw for someone in a precarious financial position.

In today’s podcast, Derek Chase talks about Bankruptcy and the people who file, from a Licensed Insolvency Trustee perspective. He discusses:

• The demographics of who is filing
• The most common factors that can lead to Bankruptcy
• Surface reasons versus underlying causes of insolvency
• How filing for Bankruptcy can free funds to carry on living
• The importance of credit counselling after being discharged
• Reasons people avoid seeking help

If you are looking for stellar advice about how you can best manage your debt, a Licensed Insolvency Trustee can help. They are federally regulated and licensed by the Canadian government. You can rest assured that you will be treated fairly, without being judged.
