Credit Card Debt Canada

What is the statute of limitations for credit card debt in canada for alberta resident?

You have credit card debt, and you wan to pay it off as quickly as you can. We will assume that you are going to stop creating more debt. You have changed your ways. You also understand that paying credit card<!--balances with a consolidation loan or rolling it into a mortgage isn't paying it off. In fact, paying a lower interest rate, but paying on the debt for many more years, usually means paying much more, not less.Okay, so you really want to be rid of that credit card debt.

First, you have to understand that not all debt is the same. Of course you know this. Some of your cards have a higher interest rate than others.Find and budget the money to start paying down those balances. If you order pizza every week, for example, you may be spending $60 or $80 per month right there-->If you are serious about getting those debts paid, you may have to eat $4 frozen pizzas for now. Do what you have to do, and determine how much you can apply towards the debt each month.

If a person moves to Canada without paying their credit card debt can authorities come to Canada and arrest you?

It would be too expensive to come and get you. You can be arrested if you obtained the credit card with no intention of paying the balance (fraud). It's something the bank would have to prove. Other than fraud, credit card debt is a civil matter, not criminal. If the bank has offices in Canada, they will find you and probably make your ability to get credit near impossible.

Last year, my wife and I moved back to Canada after living 3 years in the UK. We were both students, and collectively amassed £6000 in credit card debt. We left enough money in our bank accounts to make automatic minimum payments on the cards while we tried to sort out a loan in Canada to pay them off. It's now been a year, our UK accounts have been depleted and we still owe £4500 with no easy way to pay them. We know that our Canadian credit rating has not been affected, and our plan is still to get a loan to pay the debt off. I wanted to know what will happen if we are unable to do this in the immediate future, and in particular, if either of us tries to enter the UK while we still have outstanding debt. Thanks for your answers!

I was in the same predicament and did the same thing in terms of leaving money on direct deposit for the minimum payment. I resolved this by applying for a 0% credit card (it switches to 9% after 6 months). I actually wrote the a credit card cheque to the UK credit card to transfer the balance over to Canada. I then paid it off in full due to a lucky windfall on my outstanding UK taxes. Still, the credit card cheque(from the Canadian low-balance card) to the UK bank worked - it just came up as a bill on my visa...You'd have to check into fees (could be higher for balance transfer) - but it is much less stressful to manage the debt here in Canada at a relatively low rate. You will start paying horrible interest and carrying charges to the UK bank, so at least try and move the balance to a 0% card for 6 months over here...I am told that Equifax, etc are increasingly on the same network - so it isn't worth gambling with your credit rating...

I have about $90000 credit card (non secured) debt. I am employed making about $47000 (gross) per year and supporting a family of 4. I am very scared. I want to some how start a new life without the fear and stress. I want to make sure that filing bankruptcy is the best way to go and I won't end up in court facing some serious consequences.

Hi, I emailed you, hope you don't mind. I can only suggest how I can help you.
