Canadians’ debt is on the rise with increased interest rates and the soaring costs of living resulting in many teetering on the brink of insolvency. Still, most people cling to the notion that Bankruptcy only happens to 'deadbeats', but nothing could be further from the truth. In this podcast Licensed Insolvency Trustee, Amanda Sherwood dispels some of the myths surrounding Bankruptcy. She addresses the fears around this debt relief option. Amanda also discusses:

Looking at Bankruptcy as a tool that will reset your finances
How and when to speak to your bank
Licensed Insolvency Trustee’s role is to mediate between you and your creditors
The number one myth that you will lose everything
How the Bankruptcy process is tailored to individual situations

If you are struggling with your finances, Licensed Insolvency Trustees can help. They are considered some of the best debt advisors in the country and the only ones licensed by the federal government of Canada.
