Your British Columbia Bankruptcy & Debt Experts

If you have financial issues such as credit card debt, a defaulted mortgage, income tax debt, or wage garnishees, Chase & Associates can help. Whether you need credit counselling, debt consolidation, or help with personal bankruptcy, we’ll help you find the right solution for your needs.

Credit Counselling

Credit counselling can take different forms, from budgeting and money management help, to working out an informal arrangement with your creditors that would result in a monthly payment.

Consumer Proposal

Also known as a debt settlement proposal, a Consumer Proposal is an offer to settle with creditors, repaying in full, or in part, over a period of time. We'll help you through the process.

Bankruptcy

While the phrase ``personal bankruptcy`` may be intimidating, it is often the most sensible option. As a licensed Trustee, we have years of training and experience to help you through the process.

Corporate Proposal

This can make sense if a company needs protection from creditors and future profitability is probable. The result can be breathing space while the creditors are eventually repaid some or all of the debt.

Derek and his team are fantastic to deal with. I've had the pleasure of interacting with their business a few times and have always felt welcome and well we'll care of. They are a compassionate team who act professionally in their work. All my requests for information, appointments or otherwise were met with friendly tones and very prompt service. Derek himself is a very knowledgable and kind person who has the expertise to help anyone sort through their financial needs. I would and absolutely do recommend their services on a regular basis.

Like most people it was unnerving to be so upfront about something as personal: my finances. The people at Derek Chase where kind, very adept at explaining the complicated processes, and helped me discover new ways to cut costs/budget my life. As of today I finished the process and I couldn't be happier. 10/10 reccomend.

I found the whole process with Derek Chase very interesting. Him and his staff are completely professional and very helpful. They were able to negotiate with CRA on my client's behalf and make his debt manageable. Thank you very much for helping my client! And for teaching me there are a number of options and all is not black and white. I will be better able to advise my clients in future should they be in need of Trustee services and would definitely recommend Derek Chase and his firm!

I am happy to recommend Derek Chase and his staff at Chase Sekulich. Through my professional association I have referred personal debtors to them for some time and I have found their response to debtor concerns to be prompt, courteous and professional. As a licensed Trustee in Bankruptcy and a Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Professional I have no hesitation in recommending their services and feedback from all previous referrals has been excellent.
