Bankruptcy in PEI

PEI bankruptcy law has established rules for the bankruptcy process for individuals who cannot pay their monthly debt as it becomes due.

Bankruptcy in PEI should be a last option after you have explored all other debt relief alternatives.

Most bankrupts explore other debt relief programs before they file for bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy is not only for people that owe a huge amount of unsecured debt; you only need to owe $1,000 or more in unsecured debt.

However, almost all bankrupts have a much larger debt load.

In fact, as it costs at least $1,800 to file bankruptcy, in reality, you must owe much more than $1,000 in order to make filing bankruptcy a sensible debt relief option.

In order to go bankrupt, you must file bankruptcy through a PEI insolvency trustee.

All insolvency trustees are licensed by the federal government.

You must schedule a free and confidential consultation to have a PEI bankruptcy expert assess your situation to determine if bankruptcy is right for you and your unique situation.

The trustee will answer your bankruptcy questions at this meeting and will also ensure that you have a full understanding of all bankruptcy alternatives that are available to you.

The trustee will help you make an informed decision, but the final decision of whether to file bankruptcy or not is completely up to you.

A trustee cannot force you into bankruptcy – although your creditors have an opportunity to force you into bankruptcy in certain rare situations.

Bankruptcy PEI

Filing bankruptcy is a serious decision and you must not file bankruptcy before considering how it will impact you, your family and your financial future.

Generally, filing for bankruptcy will hurt your credit and you might lose some of your assets.

However, bankruptcy offers many benefits, and for thousands of PEI residents, filing bankruptcy is the only way to get a fresh financial start.

The benefits of filing bankruptcy often outweigh the drawbacks for most debtors.

Filing bankruptcy will eliminate all of your unsecured debt in most cases and will stop creditor harassment in all cases.

Another major benefit of filing bankruptcy is your trustee will provide you with two financial counselling sessions, which will help teach you how to lay a strong financial foundation in the future so you do not need to go bankrupt again.

What Can I Keep When Filing PEI Bankruptcy?

As in all provinces and territories in Canada, PEI bankruptcy law lists the assets you can keep in the PEI bankruptcy exemptions.

The exemptions in PEI for a bankrupt include:

  • A motor vehicle to a value of $3,000 in equity;
  • Food and other household items to a value of $2,000 in equity;
  • Clothing for the bankrupt and their family;
  • RRSPs (contributions in the 12 months prior to filing bankruptcy are not exempt).

Prince Edward Island debtors can be discharged from bankruptcy and receive a write off of their debts within 9 months of filing.
