Question:		Please help. In 1996 I was in bankructy but I was not discharged. I have talked the trustee to try get this resovled. So next step I talked to a lawyer and asked why on bankrutcy papers c.m.h.c were not on the list of creditors, because now a collation company named Nordon has a garnishee put in place. Also, the trustee told me that to open this up would cost $2000. How come I can not get a new trustee. This is canada I live in, do I not? So please is there somebody out there that will help me, I am almost ready to give up I cannot take the stress no more. Yours truly, Andy.

Answer:		It is accepted practice that another trustee cannot take over for your trustee where you have not completed your duties as a bankrupt, except where the original trustee refuses to act. You always have the option of bringing your own application before the Courts to be discharged. A lawyer could assist you in this regard if you do not want to return to your original trustee.
