		<description>Yes, according to &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.equifax.com/EFX_Canada/consumer_information_centre/faqs_e.html#ques12&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Equifax&lt;/a&gt;, Canada&#039;s largest credit reporting agency:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;A bankruptcy automatically purges six (6) years from the date of discharge in the case of a single bankruptcy. If the consumer declares several bankruptcies, the system will keep each bankruptcy for fourteen (14) years from the date of each discharge. All accounts included in a bankruptcy remain on file indicating &quot;included in bankruptcy&quot; and will purge six (6) years from the date of last activity.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;When a registered consumer proposal is paid, it will automatically purge three (3) years from the date paid.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In other words, a first &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.bankruptcy-ontario.org/bankruptcy-Ontario.htm&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;bankruptcy&lt;/a&gt; remains on your credit report for six years from the date of discharge, and a &lt;&lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.bankruptcy-ontario.org/proposals.htm&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;consumer proposal&lt;/a&gt; remains on your credit report for three years from the date your proposal is completed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This means that if you go bankrupt or file a proposal, there will be a note on your credit report.  However, your ability to borrow is based not only what&#039;s on your credit report, but also on your income, job stability, and other factors.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I suggest you &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.bankruptcy-ontario.org/askus.htm&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;contact a trustee&lt;/a&gt; for a more detailed explanation about how your credit will be affected if you go bankrupt.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, according to <a HREF="http://www.equifax.com/EFX_Canada/consumer_information_centre/faqs_e.html#ques12" REL="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Equifax</a>, Canada&#8217;s largest credit reporting agency:</p>
<p>&#8220;A bankruptcy automatically purges six (6) years from the date of discharge in the case of a single bankruptcy. If the consumer declares several bankruptcies, the system will keep each bankruptcy for fourteen (14) years from the date of each discharge. All accounts included in a bankruptcy remain on file indicating &#8220;included in bankruptcy&#8221; and will purge six (6) years from the date of last activity.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When a registered consumer proposal is paid, it will automatically purge three (3) years from the date paid.&#8221;</p>
<p>In other words, a first <a HREF="http://www.bankruptcy-ontario.org/bankruptcy-Ontario.htm" REL="nofollow" rel="nofollow">bankruptcy</a> remains on your credit report for six years from the date of discharge, and a < <a HREF="http://www.bankruptcy-ontario.org/proposals.htm" REL="nofollow" rel="nofollow">consumer proposal remains on your credit report for three years from the date your proposal is completed.</p>
<p>This means that if you go bankrupt or file a proposal, there will be a note on your credit report.  However, your ability to borrow is based not only what&#8217;s on your credit report, but also on your income, job stability, and other factors.</p>
