Whether you are filing Chapter 7 or
Chapter 13, there are a standard series of steps you must take in filing bankruptcy, including:
- Discussing your financial situation with an experienced attorney, who can provide you with options in your case.
- Provision of financial documents to the attorney, who can use those to assist you in determining the bankruptcy option that is best for you.
- Taking a credit counseling course, which is considered mandatory if you are to file bankruptcy.
- Reviewing your bankruptcy petition with your attorney. Once it is signed by you, it is immediately filed with the bankruptcy court.
- Taking part in a "creditors meeting," in which your creditors have the opportunity to dispute the discharge of your debt.
If you have filed for Chapter 7 and your creditors have no objections, you will have your debt discharged 75 days after the creditors meeting. In a Chapter 13, you will start your creditor payment plan shortly after the meeting and have your debt discharged once the plan is complete.
