What Should One Do Before Filing for Bankruptcy?

  • You simply did all that you could possibly do to
    avoid this situation. You sold your belongings to
    make the payments. You did cut back on your
    spending. You have been eating beans and rice for
    a long time now. But with all that work too, you
    have finally come to a painful conclusion??you
    might have to file for bankruptcy.
  • The thing is that bankruptcy is confusing, and
    not to mention how emotionally devastating it is.
    It is a serious decision, so it shouldnt be
    taken lightly. Bankruptcy is a legal court
    proceeding wherein youd tell the judge that you
    can not pay your debts.
  • Thereby, the judge as well as the court trustee
    would examine your liabilities and assets in
    order to decide whether or not to discharge your
    debts. If and when the court ascertain that you
    truly have no other means of paying back your
    debts, then you declare bankruptcy. Keep in mind
    that declaring bankruptcy wouldnt clear your
    student loans, child support alimony, Govt.
    debts such as fines, penalties, and taxes, and
    expensive/luxurious items that were bought right
    before you filed bankruptcy, such as boats,
    jewelry, or cars.

    you with an unbiased and a different perspective

    other than filing bankruptcy and they can help
    your draft a customized plan that would help you
    pull yourself out of the situation. Additionally,
    they would give you the encouragement as well as
    point you to the right direction.

  • In case you have already done everything that you
    possible can and you still arent able to get
    your head above the water, then bankruptcy might
    be the only viable option available for you.
    Filing for bankruptcy is a complicated task and
    it involves tons of paperwork.
  • The potential for making mistakes here is very
    high. Working with a professional is the best way
