Filing Bankruptcy in West Virginia: Debunk the Old Bankruptcy Myths
Many people are afraid to even think about filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy because they don't fully understand the law or its affect on their lives.
Common myths include:
- "I won't be able to buy a house or a car, or rent an apartment, after filing."
- "I don't want to go through a difficult and time consuming court case."
Let's address these bankruptcy myths one by one.
One: You should be able to get credit after filing bankruptcy.
Although it may take you a little time to start purchasing things, you should be a good credit risk once you emerge from bankruptcy, and you should, in time, be able to purchase a car, get a credit card, rent an apartment and even buy a house.
You can also receive help when making these types of purchases-- getting a co-signer could make the process easier.
Two: As for the idea of a court case, forget about jury trials, cross examination, and all of the other courtroom drama you see on TV.
In many cases, you'll never even appear before a judge. In many Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, your case could be complete and your debts discharged in about four months.
A West Virginia bankruptcy lawyer can determine you bankruptcy eligibility, collect paperwork, file the legal documents, deal with your creditors and may help you get the most out of your bankruptcy filing.
