What are the counseLling sessions?
Counselling sessions are required by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. They are usually done in face to face meetings. Our firm does not conduct counselling sessions in groups. You must attend two counselling sessions at our offices. The first counselling session, held between 30 and 60 days following the filing of an assignment in bankruptcy, deals with budgeting techniques, money management and goal setting related to money. The meeting is an opportunity for you to clarify any questions regarding your duties and responsibilities during your assignment. The second counselling session, held within six months of your assignment, deals with identifying reasons that may have caused your insolvency, use of credit and steps that you can take to re-establishing your credit. During this meeting we make sure that there are no outstanding issues that interfere with your discharge.
