Is filing Chapter 7 right for you?
If the weight of debt is making you miserable, filing Chapter 7 may be the best medicine. You may be able to get immediate protection from your creditors when you file for Chapter 7. The first step is filing a petition in court. This document should ask you to list personal information, including all of your income, your assets, your expenses and your debts. You must also indicate applicable exemptions to which you're entitled. Then, your attorney files the petition in local court. When this occurs, the court appoints a trustee to your case and an "Automatic Stay" is entered, a court order that prevents creditors from taking any further action against you outside court. This action should ensure:
Your creditor calls and bills stop
Your property cannot be seized
Your creditors cannot sue you
Your house cannot be foreclosed upon
Your paycheck cannot be garnished
Your car cannot be repossessed
Your bank must stop any foreclosure action
Your suspended driver's license must be reinstated
When you use a reliable attorney, the chances are excellent that your Chapter 7 case will sail through the courts. However, please note that you may only file for Chapter 7 protection once in eight years. In addition, it is extremely important to follow your attorney's counsel and refrain from:
Attempting to conceal your property
Destroying financial records
Violating a court order
Making enormous, last-minute charges on your credit cards
