FAQs

What do I need to get together?

To determine eligibility (income wise) and to be able to provide documents to the Trustee assigned to your case, I will need two years of tax returns-Federal and State, as well as 6 months of paycheck stubs. If you are self-employed, we can give the Trustee an affidavit in the place of the pay stubs, but an Income and Expense statement for the business will be needed to justify our number given in the Schedules for the Budget.

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13?

In broad strokes, Chapter 7 is a liquidation that allows the Trustee to take and sell non-exempt assets of the debtor, and Chapter 13 is a payback plan over a 3-5 year payment plan.

How will I be able to rebuild my credit after this?

I will have suggestions to do that, and the credit counselors will also have suggestions and resources. There are books at the library on the subject as well.

How long will bankruptcy stay on my credit report?

All Court actions, no matter whether it is a divorce, an eviction or a bankruptcy, it will stay on your credit report for 10 years. Individual creditors will typically fall off the credit report after 7 years.

Do I have to go to court?

Your court date (called the "341 Meeting of Creditors") will happen approximately 30 days after your case is filed, and you will have at least 2 weeks notice of the hearing date in case you need to ask off from work. The hearing normally takes about 2 hours, and there are normally 18 people on each docket. The dockets are filled up in order of the case numbers, so you are just as likely to be first as you are to be last. Your participation at the hearing will normally take about 5 minutes. But sometimes we get held up by more complicated cases that are called before ours.

This information can be found on the FAQ page on our website.

4 False Assumptions about Bankruptcy If you’ve been considering filing for bankruptcy but have not yet done so, it may be because you mistakenly believe many of the rumors and misapprehensions out there about the process. We’re here to set the record straight and eliminate rumors that are keeping you from financial freedom. Here are the four biggest false assumptions about bankruptcy, as well as a few other myths that you can also say goodbye to. What Is Filing for Bankruptcy? Discharging personal debt Filing for bankruptcy allows people to erase personal debts that they cannot pay. When you file under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, you discharge unsecured debts, such as personal loans, credit cards, and medical bills. Under Chapter 13, you can discharge unsecured debts in addition to secured debts like vehicle or mortgage payments. While businesses can also file for bankruptcy, we’re talking about personal bankruptcy here. Why Do People File for Bankruptcy? Overwhelmed by debt Many people wind up filing for bankruptcy when they can’t handle their debt any longer. It happens to even the most well-intentioned people. Easy credit cards with high rates, unexpected expenses, or a major life event like divorce can cause you to rack up debt quickly. If you can’t pay your bills, creditors start harassing you, or you may find yourself having your wages garnished. Life becomes chaotic and impossible very quickly as debt snowballs.
