In bankruptcy, you become discharged.
I want to make a point here. When I say you write something off, like I said, you need to meet certain criteria. Your collection action will basically stop. I'll give you an example.
On the tax write-offs—which are a few billion every year—the CRA will receive money from individuals who, although their account has been written off, will stay pay their amount due. There are monies that are still recovered, but not necessarily through active collection action a lot of the time.
However, if you're in a situation in which you cannot locate a debtor and then you have information that may allow you to resume collection action, you're entitled to do that in some of these cases.
