Do I have to list all my debts when filing for bankruptcy? |
|
| |
Yes. You must provide your trustee with a list of every debt you have, including debts to friends and family, money owing on property such as a home, car, boat, furniture, etc, money mart loans, credit cards, retail cards, bank loans, and more.
Sometimes people will try to avoid listing a credit card in an effort to keep one, just for “emergencies.” But most credit card issuers regularly update their database listings of bankruptcies and have an automatic cancellation policy for people who have filed bankruptcy, even if no balance is owed on the card.
