Registered Retirement Savings Plans
The courts have held that where funds are deposited in an RRSP, a trust relationship, and not a debtor-creditor relationship, is created between the bank and its customer. Consequently, the courts have generally held that an RRSP is not subject to garnishment. There is a case of the Federal Court of Canada Trial Division which has come to the opposite conclusion, but it would appear that the weight of authority provides that RRSPs are not attachable until he owner of the RRSP actually collapses it.

If the creditor has a valid debt and if you are not able to make payments as they come due, the creditor can and probably will file a civil lawsuit against you. Once a creditor realizes that no amount of persuasion out of court will get him anything on the debt, a civil suit is the only recourse to getting paid.
