Did You Know?

Here is some information you may not know about bankruptcy:

Recent bankruptcy laws are not as restrictive as you might think: While it is true that these laws created more steps and paperwork for bankruptcy filings, these changes will most likely affect your bankruptcy attorney more than they affect you.

A majority of individuals who file for bankruptcy do not lose any of their belongings: Creditors would like you to believe that if you file bankruptcy, you will lose your house, your car, and all your personal belongings. The truth is that a majority of petitioners retain all their property.

After you file bankruptcy, creditor harassment must stop: Once you file, an automatic stay goes into effect, prohibiting creditors from contacting you.

You have the power to stop a home foreclosure: Filing bankruptcy halts all foreclosure actions, giving you room to breathe.

You can rebuild your credit: Once your debt is discharged, you will be able to work on repairing your credit score. Many people get approved for a secured credit card or loan within a year after filing bankruptcy. You may even have the ability to avoid high interest rates.

Many people filing bankruptcy are good people who have fallen on hard times: The credit industry would like you to believe that only deadbeats file bankruptcy. However, a large number of petitioners got into financial trouble because of job loss, divorce, or unforeseen medical expenses.

Bankruptcy offers the best solution to obtain a fresh start after suffering from financial hardship: Bankruptcy is usually a one-time, one-fee proposition. Your fresh start begins immediately after filing.
