Re: Personal loan
In British Columbia and in any other Province they can sue you, and if they get judgment they can garnishee your pay. Contracts for loans do not need to be, and frequently are not, in writing. He may hire a collection agency to sue, or garnish if he gets judgment, or both. We do not see what Revenue Canada has to do with it.
