If you're facing a financial crisis, filing Chapter 7 may be the best medicine.
You may get immediate protection from your creditors when you file for Chapter 7. The first step is filing a bankruptcy 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 may file 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 of court. This action may result in:
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.
It is extremely important to follow your lawyer'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.
