Question: We recently moved to Grande Prairie from Nova Scotia to find work after being unempolyed for almost a year. We are so far behind and the moving expenses killed us.
Our friends say we can’t file bankruptcy in Grande Prairie until we have been here a year. Do we have to wait? My husband has a new job and the creditors are threatening to serve papers and garnish wages. They have spoken to his Grande Prairie boss and we don’t want it to affect his new job.
