Facts About Bankruptcy

Like any decision you make, you should get all the facts before filing bankruptcy. That's why a bankruptcy lawyer can be so helpful. Your lawyer can answer questions you have about filing and how it can affect your debt.

Your Buffalo bankruptcy lawyer may also clear up any confusion or misconceptions you might have. For starters, here are some common myths about filing bankruptcy:

• "You won't be able to buy a house or a car, or rent an apartment, after bankruptcy." You should be a good credit risk once you have been discharged, and you may not have any trouble making purchases. You may need a cosigner for large purchases, but if you work to build up your credit you may be able to move beyond this too.
  
• "Bankruptcy cannot get rid of debts like student loans and taxes." This is simply not true. Chapter 13 bankruptcy may address certain tax debt. In some cases, it may be able to help with student loan debt. In fact, you may be able to have your student loan debt discharged, in certain circumstances.
  
• "You can handle your bankruptcy yourself." You are permitted to handle your own bankruptcy if you wish. However, bankruptcy involves a complex interplay of state and federal laws, and there may be many pitfalls for the inexperienced. Your filing may be one of the most important events of your financial life. You want to be sure you take advantage of this opportunity for a fresh start.
