Bankruptcy

As thousands of households across the province continue to grapple with the difficult realities of unemployment, many have run through their severance and / or unemployment insurance and have spent weeks, even months relying on credit to pull them through the costs of day-to-day living.

For this reason, more and more households are investigating viable debt solutions. MNP’s Vicky Samuels recently discussed the increase in bankruptcies filed throughout the province withDiscover Airdrie in an original article published online on February 1, 2017. ​
