If I rent the basement of my mothers house can they come after her and make her sell her house? She bought and paid for a car which I drive 9 years ago can they seize it?
I have about 30K in credit card debt. I have zero income right now as I just finished maternity leave and have a second child due in 2 weeks. (the 2nd was not planned or expected) My husbands income barely covers necessities never mind minimum payments. Can I claim bankruptcy without him? How would payments be worked out if I can\'t work? (due to being pregnant and a mental condition) We tried for a consolidation loan but we were denied. Is bankruptcy an option?

Question: My husband filed a consumer proposal 2 years ago. I chose not to as I felt I could pay these debts. We are now in a situation where we can't meet our monthly obligations, never mind the debts I owe. What is the best plan now? We owe over $46,000 (including proposal). Is anulling the proposal and filing for bankruptcy an option?
Answer: You and your husband have three options.
First, he can continue on with his proposal. You could then file your own consumer proposal, file bankruptcy, or deal with your debts in some other manner.
Alternatively, your husband's proposal could be annulled, and he could file bankruptcy. Your options remain the same.
It is not possible to annul a proposal and then file another one, unless you have the prior permission of the bankruptcy court, so in your case that is not an option.
These are complicated decisions, so we suggest you contact an Alberta bankruptcy trustee to meet with you and review both you and your husband's situation in more detail to determine which option is best for both of you.
