If you take your name off cars and other property, just to hide it from collections, that is not legal, and the collection company can attempt to go after that property, that is their right to at least attempt to, if there is an appearance. So that can go to court.
As to where you can file, you have to meet the residence requirements, if you are living in Canada and working there, you are not currently living in the US to file in the US.
If you hold residence and have a home in the US, you may claim and use that as your residence.
