What Do I Need to Know About Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy does not have the negative connotation that it once had. Many people don’t file simply because they don’t want people to think less of them. It is not a part of your public record and your friends and family will not read about your financial woes in the paper. A few more details include:

It does not wreck your credit for the rest of your life.
Many people are able to purchase a car or house within 3-4 years after filing if they have established and maintained good credit.
You cannot discharge student loans except in extreme situations.
You do not get to choose which creditors you list

Filing for bankruptcy is not something you should do on your own. Hire a bankruptcy attorney who makes sure all the forms are filled out correctly and all the details are taken care of.
