Ive read i cant go bankrupt in ireland because ive been gone 3+ years and i really dont want to do it in canada. Thanks guys for the response.Raptor,
Brontes advice is good.
Please PLease ! Kill the major anxiety.!
Bank very very unlikely to try to chase/find you in Canada.
In fairness to Bank ,they have a debt that is going nowhere , they too need closure.
write and explain your position and suggest handing over keys/sale as a final closure.
They may huff and puff but hold your ground ,remember they are NOT in a good position.
Again, as Bronte says make some enquiries over insolvency in Canada, you might be surprised and find insolvency in Canada is well do-able.
Your worries on (letters)(stake)(pursue) etc are way over the Top , I know its easy for me to say that , but it is true.
So do not get hyper -stressed over any letters and do now go for closure.
Good luck.
And good luck
Bronte thank you. Im a new member as you can prob tell, i dont really like talking about this kind of stuff but its got to me over the past while. Ur right in what you are saying. As for homesick i go on to streetview and take a little drive round the odd time, seems to sort me out for a while lolIf you're paying back the arrears out of your current salary you should stop forthwith and spend it on your family. You're quite clearly broke. You don't have to do it anymore. You have to start thinking differently.
As an expat myself I'd like to address this with you. Are you sure that is not the real issue, it si not easy to emigrate. But it does get easier, the first year for me was hell, but I'm totally in love with where I am now. But of course it's easy for me to pop home. Canada is whole different ball game. I used to go home every xmas. Now I don't, not the way I used to. And I'm not missing anything, you just think you are.
I would imagine that if you stop worrying about the bank, your wife will stop worring about you. This is a viscious circle. Only last week we had another poster in a very bad way. Not abroad. Why don't you talk on here. Or go onto a discussion board, such as boards.ie etc. Whatever floats your boat. It's important that you make an effort in Canada to make friends and to socialise. You have to force yourself to do it. Sure you can move on. You just have to make a last push to deal with getting away from the bank.
Is there no Canadian website for the Irish to chat?
As I said to you, the first place to start is to read the other posters who are just like you. There are an awful lot of people in Ireland in despair too. You at least got out and got a job and can make a new life for yourself. My OH was in Ireland last weekend and met a once big time developer/builder he used to deal with and the man was 'broke' but happy enough, didn't care really, has got over it and probably has a few bob hidden away my OH said to him. Unlike you that man is too old now to start again.
