Demystifying Bankruptcy Fears Amidst The Pandemic
The pandemic has had a tremendous financial impact on many of
our clients, necessitating them to look for ways to avoid personal
bankruptcy. Some were already feeling overwhelmed by debt before the
pandemic hit, and now, these same people as well as others are very worried and
are looking for answers.
In this webinar, I will review the types of financial problems people
faced before the pandemic and the additional issues that have now emerged that are
pushing many to the brink of bankruptcy due to their reduced or complete loss
of cash flow.
I will review the information I have been sharing with clients,
answering questions about bankruptcy, and dispelling beliefs and information
wrongly disseminated about the bankruptcy process as well as possible
solutions, such as filing a consumer proposal.
I look forward to sharing my 25 years of frontline experience
helping those heavily weighed down in debt, and more recently in helping those
who are trying to navigate the financial effects of the pandemic and hoping to
restore a positive financial outlook.
