Bankruptcy is extremely complicated and it is strongly recommended that you use an attorney to file. Many attorneys offer free consultations to tell you more about bankruptcy and if it is helpful for you to file. Based on the county in which you live, you are assigned to a particular Federal Division of a particular Federal District of a particular Federal Circuit. Once you find out what Division your county is assigned to, you have to sign and file a bankruptcy petition in the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court for the appropriate Division. This gets your case started. After filing, the Bankruptcy Court will notify you of the date and time of your hearing. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!
The steps that one may take in order to file for bankruptcy are as follows:
** MOST IMPORTANT, FIND A GOOD ATTORNEY**
* Work with the attorney to determine which type of bankruptcy makes the most sense - Chapter 7 (few assets, little-to-no disposable income) or Chapter 13 (regular income, want to save home)
* Complete credit counseling (required under BAPCPA)
* Complete the paperwork (everything about your financial life in the last three years must be documented with proof)
- If Chapter 13, you will also need to document a repayment plan
* Submit the paperwork (and pay the filing fee)
* Go to Court (eventually - takes time to get the case to court, however, once there, a trustee will work through all of the specifics)
* Get discharged (about two months if Chapter 7, up to five years if Chapter 13, two months after the last payment is made)
Filing for bankruptcy can vary depending on country, state/province, and city. Assuming you live in Canada, you will need to schedule an appointment with bankruptcy trustee. Many bank and financial institutions have a preferred bankruptcy trustee within each city they have branches. Once the trustee agrees that you qualify for bankruptcy, then they will being the paperwork. You will be required to pay the trustee for their administrative duties, which will likely take 3-6 months. The end result is bankruptcy will be declared, your debts will be forgiven, your credit history will be significantly diminished and will stay on your history for at least 7 years.

No. You do not "declare bankruptcy" ON anything. You declare bankruptcy when you cannot pay your bills as they come due. You must list all your assets and all your debts. What happens after that depends on which title you are filing under, chapter 7, 11, 12 or 13.
If you didn't actually declare bankruptcy, you can report the error to the credit bureaus. If you did declare bankruptcy, you'll have to wait for it to age off.
First consult a lawyer for which bankruptcy chapter you qualify for and let him/her assist you with the bankruptcy procedures as bankruptcy procedures are not the same in every case.
