Will I be able to keep my car?? |
A vehicle can only be claimed as exempt in certain circumstances in
Saskatchewan. If you require your vehicle for employment purposes (ie. you use
your vehicle for the performance of your job and you receive compensation from
your employer for the use of your vehicle) it can be claimed as exempt. This
does not include traveling to and from work. If you are self employed and use
your vehicle to perform your work it can also be claimed as exempt.
If
your vehicle is financed or leased you would be responsible to continue making
payments directly to the company or bank that financed it. If a Creditor has
your vehicle for collateral they are classified as a Secured Creditor. A secured
creditor who financed the purchase of your vehicle is entitled to either the
payments on your vehicle or the vehicle back. You would have to make an
arrangement directly with the secured creditor to keep your vehicle in this
situation.
