Understanding Personal Bankruptcy

FAQ About Personal Bankruptcy

FAQ About Personal Bankruptcy

  • How do I know if I qualify for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?

    Eligibility depends on your income, expenses, and financial circumstances. We’ll perform a means test to determine your options.

  • Will bankruptcy stop creditor harassment?

    Yes, filing for bankruptcy initiates an automatic stay, which legally prevents creditors from contacting you or pursuing collection efforts.

  • Can I include all my debts in a bankruptcy?

    Not all debts are dischargeable. For example, student loans and recent tax debts may not qualify. We’ll review your debts and explain your options.

  • How does Chapter 13 bankruptcy work?

    Chapter 13 allows you to consolidate and repay your debts over three to five years based on a court-approved plan.

  • Will my credit score recover after filing for bankruptcy?

    Bankruptcy impacts your credit initially, but many clients rebuild their credit over time with responsible financial habits.
