If you file for personal bankruptcy in Ontario, can the utility companies disconnect your service?

In theory, if you are behind on a bill, anyone can disconnect your service. In practice, that very rarely happens. It is usually possible to make arrangements to get caught up with your utilities so that your service is not disconnected. They will generally accept a payment plan, but this is something that is best to arrange before you go bankrupt. I suggest you contact us for more information, and we can help you develop a strategy that will work for you.
