Introduction:
Everyone in Canada is required to
carry auto insurance. If you're involved in an accident or other claim, you
might be asked by the other party if you have coverage. If you don't and are
found responsible, the court will impose a fine or require you to pay up front.
This can put a huge strain on your budget and even result in jail time. What
happens if you lose a lawsuit and can't pay?
You will not be able to pay the
invoice and your Canada debt will increase. Canada can demand immediate payment
of all its unpaid bills, including any extra fees and interest, if they are
within the statute of limitations in force. This means that legal action can be
taken against you even though you may not have a large sum at stake. In fact,
under some circumstances you could probably just stop paying immediately and
put yourself in a position where you won't be sued by your creditors until they
realize that there isn't anything more they can do except apply for bankruptcy
protection on your behalf.
If
you don't pay your debts on time the government can place liens on your
property.
If you don't pay your debts on time
the government can place liens on your property. A lien is a legal document
that gives the creditor a claim to the debtor's assets until their debt is
settled. This can happen even if you win your case as long as you do not pay
your legal fees and costs.
The government has the power to
seize property in order to collect unpaid taxes, fines and penalties, child
support, spousal support and student loans. If there are other liens already
placed on the property and these are not paid, then it will be sold at auction
or put up for sale through an online bidding system.
If you are sued by a creditor, and
do not have the money to pay them back, the creditor may be able to seize your
assets in order to make sure that they get paid what they are owed.
If you have unpaid taxes, Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA) can also seize your property. This includes bank accounts,
RRSPs, pensions and property if there is a tax lien against it.
The
federal government does not have the power to arrest people for not paying
their debts.
The federal government does not have
the power to arrest people for not paying their debts. Instead, it can seize
property and auction it off to pay off creditors.
The government has an interest in
collecting debts because it is responsible for ensuring that everyone has
enough money to live on. This is called ensuring a just society, and it's
something every citizen should be committed to.
But there are limits to what the
government can do if you can't pay your debt. For example, if you're unable to
pay because you're living with someone who owes more than you do, then the
government would have no right to take any of your possessions or property
unless the person whose debts are most pressing is willing to accept payment in
exchange for your property.
In addition, if you've been charged
with a crime that could lead to imprisonment, then the court will often decide
who gets what in a civil lawsuit instead of letting the criminal charges
determine how much money goes into each person's accounts after they've both
been convicted of various crimes (though this doesn't always happen).
If
you still don't pay, the CRA can garnish your wages or bank accounts
If you still don't pay, the CRA can
garnish your wages or bank accounts. The CRA will send a demand letter to your
employer and any financial institution that holds your money. The letter states
that you are in default of your taxes and must pay immediately. It also gives
them a deadline by which they must take action. If the CRA doesn't receive
payment from you within 30 days, they will start seizing money from your bank account
until it's paid off in full.
In some cases, the CRA may try to
seize property you own instead of taking money from bank accounts. This can
include:
• Your home
• Your vehicles
• Other personal items such as
furniture or clothing
If this happens, it's important to
know what options are available to help protect yourself and your property from
seizure by the CRA.
Conclusion
It's important to remember that this
won't happen overnight. The Court Judgment Collection Program can garnishee
your wages, but they won't do it right away, and they won't take more than 15%
of what you get. In the end, if you have no way of paying your debt, both CRA
and the Court Judgment Collection Program will give you a chance to catch up
with payments. This is all easier said than done; however, if you're unable to
pay because of financial hardship, there are options for dealing with your
debts without getting thrown in jail.
