Legal Rights and Responsibilities Around Debt Collection and Bankruptcy for Residents of Hope and Area
Has anyone here had experience dealing with debt collectors in BC? I’m trying to help my cousin who lives in Hope — she’s been getting constant calls from collectors after losing her job last year. She’s really stressed and unsure what her rights are or what the next step should be if things don’t get better. I told her bankruptcy might be an option, but I don’t really understand how that works in Canada.

Been through something similar a while ago. The biggest thing I learned is that collectors can’t just call nonstop or threaten legal action without proper notice. My advice is to talk to someone who knows the local laws — it made a world of difference for me. There are a few Lawyers in Hope, BC who deal with debt and bankruptcy cases, and they can walk you through options like consolidation or consumer proposals before filing for bankruptcy.
