I am a senior collecting: cpp, oas and a small employment pension. My income from the 3 pensions amounts to $1,914./mo. The only debt is to a bank line of credit and visa which is $46,000. Approximately 38 years ago I declared bankruptcy in the province of B.C. I have a good credit rating and have made my payments on a timely basis. However, I am housesitting as I am unable to make my income stretch in order to pay rent. In the event that I declare personal bankruptcy, can the bank take money from my pensions? Thank you for your answer.
