Letters start showing up. Interest keeps growing. The fear of bank freezes or legal action sits in your stomach every day.
If you’re an Ontario homeowner, you have options — even if the bank won’t help.
Many Canadians are using their home equity to pay off CRA tax arrears, stop legal action, and regain control of their finances — quickly and quietly.
And that’s where Lendworth helps.
What Happens If You Ignore CRA Tax Debt?
CRA is not like a credit card company.
If your taxes fall behind, CRA can:
Freeze bank accounts
Garnish income
Register a lien against your home
Push legal action forward fast
And unlike most lenders, CRA does not need to go to court first in many situations. That’s why acting early matters.
But here’s the good news… equity can protect you.
How Ontario Homeowners Use Home Equity to Fix CRA Tax Debt
If you own a home with equity, you may be able to:
1️⃣ Access your home equity
2️⃣ Pay CRA in full or negotiate payoff
3️⃣ Remove stress, penalties, and legal pressure
4️⃣ Start fresh financially
Many of our clients come to us after:
✔ The bank refused to help
✔ Their mortgage broker said “no”
✔ CRA registered (or threatened) a lien
✔ They were scared they’d lose control
We look at the equity in your home, not just your credit score or bank approval rules.
Why Banks Often Decline When CRA Is Involved
Traditional lenders don’t like risk or urgency.
When CRA is involved, banks often:
❌ decline refinance applications
❌ refuse fast funding
❌ require complicated paperwork
But CRA situations usually can’t wait.
Private mortgage and home equity financing gives homeowners a way to solve the problem before it becomes life-changing.
Common Situations We Help With
We see cases like these every day in Ontario:
📌 Self-employed homeowners who fell behind on HST or income tax
📌 Business owners hit with unexpected reassessments
📌 Homeowners recovering from illness, divorce, or job loss
📌 People who tried to “catch up later” — and now CRA won’t wait
If there’s equity, there is almost always a way forward.
How Fast Can This Be Done?
Speed matters with CRA.
Many approvals can happen in 24–48 hours, with funds shortly after — helping you stop action, negotiate, or clear the debt.
We work discreetly with your lawyer, accountant, and mortgage professionals to make the process as smooth and private as possible.
