You can usually pick up a set form the local bankruptcy court. You can also purchase a set and a paper goods store like Staples or office Depot. You can also purchase them online. It is really difficult to do on your own, so please consider contacting a qualified bankruptcy attorney.
AnswerThe first post is obviously from an attorney. If you are capable of filling out your tax returns, you should be able to file your own bankruptcy. Get a credit report and list those people as well as bills you receive in the mail. Everything else is pretty straight forwarad. You can find books at Barnes and Noble or on websites such as nolo.com. Alot of bankruptcy courts have the forms on line in PDF format that you can download and print off. Including not having to pay the filing fee for up to 120 days in order to get you a case number to get the blood thirsty bill collectors off your back. One other point, if you made payments within the last 90 days to a creditor, you should be able to get it back from them.You can go to http://www.uscourts.gov/FormsAndFees/Forms/BankruptcyForms.aspx and all the forms for all the chapter are located there and if u click on B 200 it tells u which forms are the min requierment for the specific chapter u are filing and the cost etc.
You should also first consider the type of bankruptcy you will be filing. There are pros and cons to filing for Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy (the most common forms for individuals). Federal and state eligibility options will also affect your options.
Download the forms from your bankruptcy court, get the forms from any of a number of websites, use your bankruptcy court's pro se clinic if it has one, read your court's local rules and use any special forms it has.
Unless you understand legalese, at least consult a lawyer before, during or instead of representing yourself.
Bankruptcy is a very difficult decision with lots of implications and should not be taken lightly. An appointment should be made with a lawyer or trustee of bankruptcy to learn more and evaluate possible options.
Get an experienced bankruptcy lawyer who does chapter 11s. If you want to try it yourself, you will probably not be successful, but you can get the forms online or in stores like Staples. You should download the forms and instructions at [your state] US bankruptcy court.
Yes you will need an attorney to file for bankruptcy and deal with the court. As an individual you will not be able to schedule hearings, etc as necessary to do the bankruptcy.
must be yours for two years
When you file bankruptcy, you may wish to reconcile a loan. Basically, it's a loan that you have that you don't want to file bankruptcy on. You intend to keep paying it as normal, while still declaring bankruptcy on other loans.
Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy, you are giving up your assets. If you want to keep your home and car you would need to file a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
The exact procedures will vary by the rules of your local bankruptcy court, but a Chapter 13 debt can voluntarily dismiss a bankruptcy at almost anytime. Where I practice law, the debtor just needs to complete and sign a one page form and submit a proposed order. Both are forms you can get from the local bankruptcy court. The website for your local bankruptcy court should have the forms you need.
I don't think so its possible to file the bankruptcy in a different country's and after all no one person in this world want to file such a hectic process of bankruptcy.bankruptcy is such a critical legal process that no one wants to face it.
File a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy It allows you to keep the property and make payments you can afford.
Some strict limitations have been set by the new bankruptcy law. Debtors will not be able to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy if they've been through a Chapter 7 within eight years of the new filing. If they want to file for Chapter 13, they will not receive a discharge within two years of a previous Chapter 13 discharge and within four years if they were discharged from a Chapter 7, 11 or 12 bankruptcy.
You can simply stay buried, unless a creditor forces you to file (very rare for consumers). The better question is, "Why wouldn't you want to file bankruptcy if you're buried?"
You would first want to find an attorney to represent you, then start referring creditors to the attorney. Then file-or if you have a lawyer, he or she will do it-a bankruptcy petition for whichever chapter you have decided on/qualify for. Then you will meet with all of your creditors, your attorney, and possibly a bankruptcy trustee. If you are filing on your own, you will want to do a large amount of research on how to go through this process. The article below goes into more detail on the process.
Yes, you can move anywhere you want to, but if you are paying payments (Chapter 13) you are still legally obligated to make the payments.
