What Do We Do?
As Licensed Insolvency Trustees we provide free debt consultations and formal debt settlement solutions for Albertans who are unable to pay the full amount of their debts. We take time to understand what you are dealing with before presenting you with all available options to consolidate, reduce or discharge your debts.
Who Do We Help?
Are you a Canadian citizen or resident dealing with more than $1,000 of debt? Even if you are just wondering what your options are, we can help! Consultations are private and confidential. There is no obligation to return or move forward with a particular solution. We give you the information and resources, and you decide.
Do We Provide Bankruptcy Services?
Yes. In Canada, Licensed Insolvency Trustees are the only professionals able to file and administer a bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy may be one of the options that are available to you, but there are often alternative solutions that may be more favourable. We are experts in all forms of formal debt settlement and will show you all of the options that are available.
The Role of a Licensed Insolvency Trustee
As Licensed Insolvency Trustees we administer formal debt settlement solutions including consumer proposals and bankruptcy filings. An important part of our job is to make sure that you know and understand all of the debt settlement options that are available to you. Each situation is unique and you may find that a particular solution that worked for someone else may not be the best for you. We will talk to you about your debts, but we also want to know about your life and plans for the future. This way we can ensure that getting out of debt is more manageable with a solution that makes sense for you and your family. We also want you to be successful after your debts are cleared and will provide resources and professional counselling focused on managing debt and maintaining “good credit”.

In 2006, I had the opportunity to use Goth & Company. I dealt with Mr. Goth, & his Son. Both of them were so kind, so friendly, & so pleasant to deal with during such a stressful period. They answered all of my questions that I had about filing for my first personal bankruptcy to the best of their ability. Now in 2023 I've had to use their services again. Still Barton is as kind & as friendly as he was seventeen years ago. All the staff that I've meet & that I've deal with have been so friendly & so knowledgeable to deal with. The best thing that anyone can do for themselves is to see Goth & Company as soon as possible to take all the pressure & the frustration off from trying to deal with their debt themselves. I'm so glad that I made the right decision for myself to have used Goth & Company, & I wouldn't hesitate not to use them again if I had to!

Found Goth & Company on the Industry Canada list of Licenced Insolvency Attorneys. Very informative and attentive from the first phone call. A big shout out to LM who handles cases before filing. She responded to e-mails in real time!!! That was new.They are very clear about their role. They are experienced and it shows in their feedback.Please take the budgeting classes that they offer. I know they are mandatory and yet the staff truly take them seriously. There was no judgement on Paula's part. She guided me and for once I felt less guilt and on the cusp of being in control. I keep receipts, I have opened a HISA account. I am slowly putting away my nest egg.I would highly recommend them to anyone in Canada. Honest, transparent and hardworking is how I would describe Goth and Company.My CP was approved this week, on original terms to boot!!!💃🏾

I have found Goth & company Ltd. with some research online. Try to find people who you need to trust and depend on is very hard decision. It s been 2 months and I m very happy with my decision. People works at goth & company are very professional and caring people. If you ask a question or need some information they get back to you very quickly. They can even do everything online without going to the office if you are out of country or some other reason that you can't go to the office. Overall I m very happy with my decision and I recommend them to everyone.

excellent experience I had with the staff at Goth & company. The staff I dealt with were not only professional, but they were human beings who understood. They were kind and unbelievably helpful and walked me through the steps one by one, stopping when I needed help. Bankruptcy is a difficult thing to go through and to talk about but they made it easy by breaking tasks into steps and by following along as required. At no point in the process did I feel judged or humiliated. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for all your legal requirements

I filed a consumer proposal at the end of May with Goth & Company Ltd’s help. I was pleasantly surprised at the trustee’s manner during the appointment. Filing a bankruptcy, etc. is kind of nerve wracking and I think my husband and I were expecting to be “dragged through the mud” with questions as to why we couldn’t/didn’t do more to pay our debt (we did a lot! Lol) but it wasn’t like that at all. Our service person was super personable, humorous, understanding, and very clear as we went through the process. Thank you!

I was very nervous in the beginning that this opportunity was too good to be true. My representative Dino walked me through everything and made sure I understood the process. He is the reason I moved forward as he was confident and reassuring that this was the right step. I’m very excited to be able to start paying off my debt and be able to move forward positively regarding my finances.

Nice people, friendly and very smooth transaction. They took my stress away in no time and make the situation pleasant. Bankrupting has never been in my vocabulary but due to the “pandemic” I could not see myself moving away from the load of debts. Thanks for having the right attitude in helping me in times of need. It was refreshing! believe me. 5 stars ⭐️ service.

When a situation in my life was causing severe hardship and I wasn't sure where to turn Goth & Company Ltd. was a saving grace! Barton Goth took the time to explain all of my options and provided clarity and honesty. He never once made me feel pressured to choose their services or made me feel like I was just "another customer" when I had some unusual circumstances his firm took the extra time to find the answers I needed. They made what was a VERY stressful time sensitive matter turn into a very easy and calm situation. I would never recommend using any other firm for these types of situations.

I have a very bad situation regarding my financials. Many years i tried to resolve that situation with no succsess at all. I`ve contacted several companies, individuals for help, but every time I had some reservations to not trust or believe them. I had personal contacts with two face to face but there was no conviction that I can be safe and everything will be OK. Years are passing, I`ve drown deeper and deeper. Praying wasn`t helpful.One day I saw advertise on FB about GOTH&Company. Suddenly lights were up in my had, "Let`s ask them" "Let`s try one more time" I said to myself. I contact them via E-Mail and response was so warm and promising. I continue folowing their instructions and meet first person in person at their site. Somehow I just start to trust. I was so lost in my life. Then I met another person there, then another, then another and I start feeling like I`m home with my family who is here to protect me and give me hope, strength and light to continue my life with hope for good. Now, after I follow their guidance and collect all info about my situation and me personaly, after they listen carefully, process of my freedom started to be reality. I am so confident that they will help anyone who need help this kind as I saw professionalism, honesty, selflessnes and pride what they are doing. Those people are very serious and so strong in their work to help others who are cornered and in agony as I was. I`m not anymore. I`m so calm, clear minded and hopeful, thanks to their work for me. Thank you GOTH&COMPANY for changing my life for good, forever. I wish you the best in your future business and connection with people. Sincerely, Just one of those simple man: Hasan Muratovic. Thank You.

I have nothing but good things to say about Goth & Company. Since the choice to trust our financial situation with Goth has begun, i have been relieved of unmentionable amount of stress. Trying to repay debts without any way to accomplish that task is a form of insanity. Such a relief to discover and relax with Goth's help.

As a fellow Trustee, I can attest that Goth and Company is widely viewed as a leading firm in the personal insolvency market.

From time to time our firm needs to refer individuals to a Trustee in Bankruptcy in the Edmonton area and Goth & Company has been an excellent choice. A friendly voice answering the phone, combined with knowledgeable staff making themselves available to answer questions and schedule appointments leads to a great experience. We have always found their technical knowledge to be excellent and the feedback received from previous referrals is always positive. Thanks for your help Goth & Company.
