Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat can bankruptcy do for me? What are the different types of bankruptcy available to individuals and/or small businesses? Who will know about my bankruptcy? Will my friends and/or relatives know I have filed bankruptcy? Will my employer know I have filed bankruptcy? Can I file bankruptcy on some creditors and not on others? If I file bankruptcy, does my spouse have to file with me? If I filed bankruptcy before, can I file again? Yes, unless there was an order entered in the prior case restricting your ability to re-file. Such orders are rare and usually stem from multiple filings, fraud or bad faith on behalf of the debtor. However, the ability to receive a discharge is restricted by the amount of time between filings. For example, a party can only receive a discharge in a Chapter 7 case if there has been a full 8 years between filings (time runs from filing date to filing date). How will bankruptcy affect my co-signer? Will bankruptcy wipe out all my debts? Will I lose all of my property and belongings if I file bankruptcy? What happens to my home and car if I file bankruptcy? Will bankruptcy affect my credit? |
