Identity theft in Canada is a growing concern. Thousands of Canadians each year become victims of identity theft. Without proper protection identity theft could damage your credit so bad, it could result in bankruptcy.

Bankrupt Auto Loans Canada is a strong advocate of bankruptcy and credit education. Sometimes the most important credit lesson a Canadian can learn is to be aware of their credit history. If you’re uncertain about your credit or you just want to confirm that the information on your credit file is accurate then you should check your credit.

How can you protect your credit and your identity in Canada?

The best way to protect yourself is to keep your private information private.

Here are just a few other ways to protect your credit and your identity:

• Always shred private documents, pay stubs, bills and banking information
• Never share passwords or login information with anyone
• Keep your wallet with you at all times
• Commit your Social Insurance Number to memory and never carry it with you
• Never provide personal or financial information to people or businesses you do not know and trust
• Avoid using your credit card or debit card at “suspicious” retailers
• Subscribe to a trusted credit monitoring service

Attention Canadians: There are new bankruptcy laws in Canada!

On Sept 18th 2009, the changes to Canadian bankruptcy law that were proposed years ago, finally became law.

While there are mixed reactions to the new bankruptcy amendments, there are still many certainties, with an expected increase in consumer proposal filings being the most significant.

These new insolvency laws correlate with what is a year after year increase in Canadian bankruptcy filings.

Here are the “highlights” to this new bankruptcy legislation:

Excess Income

Any Canadian making $200 or more above the bankruptcy monthly income limit, will be required to remain in bankruptcy for 21 months.

Income Tax in Canada

Canadians that owe income tax debt greater than 75% of their total debt are required to go to court for bankruptcy discharge (this applies when you owe more than $200,000 in tax debt).

Multiple Bankruptcies

Individuals with a previous bankruptcy will not be discharged from bankruptcy for 3 years.

Secured Lenders Rules

New bankruptcy law states that secured lenders in Canada cannot repossess a vehicle or seize an asset because their customer filed bankruptcy (provided they remain up to date on their payments).

Consumer Proposal Law

The new Canadian bankruptcy laws raise the debt limit for consumer proposal in Canada to $250,000, making it easier to file a proposal in Canada. This excludes principal residence mortgage debt.

If you’ve completed bankruptcy and you’re ready to rebuild your credit, it might be time for an after bankruptcy auto loan.

If you’re looking to rebuild your credit history after bankruptcy then getting a bankrupt car loan is one of the best ways to do it. If you finance an auto loan after bankruptcy and you make your auto loan payments on time you will strengthen you credit. Because you are showing banks and finance companies that you are both responsible with credit and able to shoulder a major instalment loan, you will find your credit repaired in no time!

A bankruptcy present on your credit bureau will always communicate high credit risk to banks or auto finance companies. That can make getting an auto loan a frustrating process. Fortunately there are many Canadian dealerships and special finance companies dedicated to getting bankruptcy, bad credit and slow credit auto loans approved.

What is bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy in Canada is a way for consumers or businesses to free themselves from debt. Bankruptcy is both a legal and sometimes necessary financial step used to protect consumers from their creditors.

Filing bankruptcy allows an individual or business to reboot their financial situation and start over fresh. The general concept behind a bankruptcy is to wipe out creditor debt or other financial obligations and begin anew without debt or heavy financial burden. That is the general concept behind bankruptcy. The detailed concept of bankruptcy is much more complex.

Before an individual can file bankruptcy, they first need to make sure they qualify for bankruptcy and more importantly decide whether it’s the right decision or not.
