What you choose to do now can pay off later.
Properly preparing your bankruptcy petition is key to the success of your case. Your attorney can begin to prepare your petition with the information you provide on your free evaluation form. During your first meeting, he or she may ask for more information and keep you informed as your case progresses. If your financial situation changes during this period, or if you need to add any information, you should contact your attorney immediately to make any changes.
Your attorney will also choose the appropriate bankruptcy court to file your case.
The federal bankruptcy courts are located throughout the U.S., organized into 11 federal judicial districts. Typically, your case will be filed in the court nearest to your home. Once your case is filed, you will be assigned a case number, and might receive a very important order from the court called the "Automatic Stay." This is the official order that prohibits your creditors from taking or continuing any collection actions against you. The Automatic Stay would mean no more harassing letters, phone calls or lawsuits while your case is in progress.
Once your case is filed, your creditors should no longer be able to harass you.
The court may send a notice of your case to your creditors. This would inform them that they can no longer call or bother you about your debt. In addition, the court may select a trustee to oversee your case to review your petition, make sure that it is complete, and verify that there are no assets available for liquidation.
