Most people hear the word bankruptcy and get a lump in their throat. Bankruptcy is basically something that a person claims when they have no other way out financially, and obviously this is very depressing.
There are actually three different ways a person can go into bankruptcy, and these are: voluntary assignment where insolvent persons make an assignment of all their assets for the general benefit of all creditors, involuntary assignment which is when a creditor files a petition in a provincial court for a receiving order against the debtor’s assets, and deemed bankruptcy which is when a proposal in bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Insolvency Act has failed.
