Probably not; it depends on what the court arranges for you.
When you file for bankruptcy, all your assets are revealed to the trustee and basically frozen. No, a creditor probably won't put a hold on your savings account after you file but they can until your bankruptcy is discharged. Usually a letter from your attorney saying you have filed bankruptcy will stop this action.
This is why your claim bankruptcy. The automatic stay will stop judgment holders from issuing a levy on goods and chattels. Simply put, no. They can not levy an account from a debtor that is protected under the bankruptcy code.
Joint accounts are included in an individual bankruptcy claim. Just how much of the value of the joint account is considered as your asset depends on history of the account, the type of account, and statutory details for certain types of assets / debts.
According to bankruptcy Canada site, you are bondable during bankruptcy, but...it may cost more during prior to being discharged to be bonded, depending on the agency used for bonding. http://www.bankruptcy-canada.ca/bankruptcy/2007/08/bankruptcy-means-not-bondable.html
No, a creditor is required to file a claim if seeking payment, otherwise that claim is considered waived. So in this case. if there was no claim, then it was waived and the debt discharged. But even if it was filed, it would have been discharged in the business BK.
Presumably your talking about a credit in a general trade or deposit type account, (not a payroll matter, rent deposit or something on the priority list), it is simply an unsecured non-priority claim.
If your savings account has become dormant, then you need to walk into your bank and talk to the representatives there. You need to claim your account and prove that you are real. If you can't go to a branch or if the bank is an online-only bank, you might have to call customer service to verify your account and get it reactivated...
In order to claim bankruptcy a court has to issue a bankruptcy order against you. The best place to find information about bankruptcy and the whole process of declaring bankruptcy is the official government website.
They would legitimately be entitled to be a party to the settlement but would need to apply to the bankruptcy administrator for consideration in this instance.
Not as a rule. If the claim was something that arose after the filing, it will depend on the nature of the claim. If the claim arose prior to filing, you must have disclosed the claim in the bankruptcy documents and the trustee may take over the claim. Consult a lawyer knowledgeable in bankruptcy.
To the tax people there is nothing modest.... all monies must be declared.
A judge or court may sometimes expunge a claim in bankruptcy court. This means that the claim is erased, as if it never happened.
