All debts are not created equal. The kind of debt you hold may affect your options when you seek help. Most debt falls into two categories: secured and unsecured. And before you come up with a plan to pay your debt, it’s important to understand how different types of debt work. Everyone’s financial situation is unique and for that reason there is no one-size-fits-all solution. A Licensed Insolvency Trustee is the only debt professional that is required by law to explain all the debt relief options that are available to you. 

This podcast looks at the different types of debt and which are eliminated when you file a Bankruptcy. LIT Genn Steiner also discusses:
