FAQs

How quickly will my creditors get notice of my bankruptcy?

Within a couple of weeks of the filing of your petition, the bankruptcy court clerk mails your creditor's notice of the filing and the imposition of the automatic stay. Until the creditors get notice, it may be necessary for you to supply the creditor with the docket number and date of your bankruptcy. Once they have been given notice, they must stop collection efforts against you or maybe be liable for court sanctions. Thankfully, for the vast majority of people, once their bankruptcy petition is filed, that's the last they hear from their unsecured creditors.

Will I lose my car and my house?

As long as you continue to keep up with your payments on the loan that secures the property, there shouldn't be a problem keeping your house or car, even after the bankruptcy proceeding is concluded. If you want to play it safe, contact your creditor to reaffirm the debt directly. This reaffirmation agreement must then be filed and approved by the court.

Will bankruptcy devastate my credit rating?

Although the record of filing bankruptcy may technically stay on your credit for up to 10 years, often by making payments on time subsequent to your bankruptcy you can regain an "A" credit rating within 2 years of your discharge. Ironically, in many cases, filing bankruptcy may actually help your credit rating because discharging your debts greatly improves your debt-to-income ratio. This is a major criterion the creditors use in judging your "creditworthiness." In fact, many people report a flood of pre-approved credit cards within weeks of a bankruptcy discharge. By all accounts, bankruptcy no longer has a stigma attached to it that it once did. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that the number of filings has been dramatically increasing over the last several years.

Will everyone find out about my filing?

Not unless you tell them or they go out of their way to check the public records. Bankruptcy filings are not normally published in newspapers. Therefore, the only people who usually find out are your creditors whose debts you have listed on the petition.

Can I run up my credit cards right before I file bankruptcy?

No. Running up your credit cards on the eve of bankruptcy in anticipation of filing may cause your debt to be non-dischargeable on the grounds of fraud, and you can be fined. You should get legal advice concerning large amounts of credit card debt incurred for "luxury goods" right before your bankruptcy.
