Six Tips For Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

A Sacramento bankruptcy attorney blogs about filing Chapter 7.

Chapter 7 is the liquidation form of bankruptcy and the most common form used in the United States. Here are six tips to help you get through the process of filing bankruptcy chapter 7.

1. Decide if you really need to file, remember bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the date of filing. Reasons to that you should probably file: unemployed, have large medical expenses, over extended credit, or have marital problems.

2. Assemble all your financial records, make sure to include all your living expense records, monthly debt income.

3. Decide which of the four methods of filing bankruptcy chapter7 you would like to use. Your options include: filing the forms yourself, bankruptcy software, using a non-attorney petition preparer, or a bankruptcy attorney.

4. Get credit counseling, it is required by law that you must take a credit counseling class 180 days or less to filing bankruptcy chapter 7.

5. File the papers using the method you choose and turn over all non-exempt assets.

6. Work to become debt responsible to avoid filing again in the future.
