8 - Predatory Practices of U.S. Debt Settlement Companies – Blair Mantin

On today’s show Blair Mantin, a bankruptcy trustee with Sands & Associates, British Columbia’s largest personal insolvency firm, discusses his objections to U.S. based debt settlement companies that take advantage of Canadians.  We discuss legislation in both Ontario and B.C. to curb this practice. Blair believes that consumer proposals are often a better option, and he discusses why more than half of the people he helps are now choosing a consumer proposal instead of bankruptcy. In the bonus podcast only segment we discuss Limitation Periods, a little known strategy to deal with debts.
